I watched all six seasons within the first 6-7 weeks of this year.  To say that I'm completely obsessed with the show and can't wait for season 7 to start is a severe understatement.

I am still reeling from certain things though.....Hodor!

I fly to New York the same day this airs so I might have to wait 4 weeks after the premiere before I can see it. But 4 episodes at once when I get home isn't bad either. I am beyond excited for this.

It'll be hard to avoid spoilers.  That's the only problem with this show and not watching it on time. I find it's worse than other shows in terms of turning on the internet and potentially being spoiled.

July 7th can't come soon enough

Really, it's the most spoiler-y show ever. I'm in Italy and I see people commenting it in the morning, I don't know if they stay up all night or torrent it immediately after, just have the common decency to wait until at least the day after to make gigantic Facebook posts about it.

Actually I would be willing and able to wait until a season is over to watch it, I like to watch shows once they're all aired without having to check in weekly at the same day and at the same hour, but with Game of Thrones I have to watch it ASAP otherwise everything is common knowledge already.

It's almost impossible to avoid the spoilers on this show, if you don't watch it live, you'll have to tread ever so lightly. For me I'd say it's not possible at all if I don't watch it right away. Almost everyone seems to be talking about it if not online then everyone around me at work. So I've always made it a point to watch it live.

If you don't watch the show live I can't go on facebook until I do, so many of my friends watch it and post about it immediately.

No, considering that could take x amount of years/decades. Had the books been released at a quicker pace then maybe I'd consider it, but at this pace it may be 10 years before the book series end.

I'm doing it the other way around. I'll go back and read the books once the show has finished.

In my experience, this way makes you appreciate both more.

I read the first three books after season 4 ended and will read the rest when the show is done.

No offense towards Martin but I'll consider reading the books only if the saga will be complete. No way after having the show in mind I will start reading a saga of 400k pages if it won't have an end.

I get why you would feel that way, but... oh boy are you missing out. They are some of the best books ever written, IMO.

Same but between season 2 and 3.  I didn't watch season 1 when it originally aired, I caught it about a month before season 2 aired.

As far as reading the books. I started reading them after season 1.

Probably, but it'd be cooler to watch on a 60 inch tv than a laptop monitor.

I used to use my exes, but she lives in DC and they got wise to it and cut me off.

If you're ignoring Game of Thrones to look at something else, you don't deserve to watch it. Just gouge out your eyes now and mail them to me so I can add them to my collection.

But if I don't ignore GoT, how can I complain about what I'm "watching"?
