So you are "whining" cause someone said the next episode will be nice? I would say every book reader knows what will happen next episode (kinda)

There will be scenes in episode 10 that do not occur in the books. Try to stay away from the internet until you watch it on Sunday.

You can't make a top five fighters list without her for a reason and it's not "sad" for anyone to lose to her. I think you can, at least if you include dead/old people (Gerold Hightower, Arthur Dayne, Barristan Selmy etc.) . Among the living it could get very hard though, Especially after Oberyn just died and Gregor is soon to follow

I don't know why you think you know better than Jamie about Loras fighting skills. I'd call it a tie without the legendary equipment and injured Hound. This is a very good point. Whatever Sword the Hound uses, it is worse than Oathkeeper. So yes, I think it is reasonable, that Brienne could beat him.

There is a lot of meta-spoiling going on, but I think Conti was referring to spoilers for show-watchers. There is a big difference (at least in my mind) of a post saying "I'm hyped for the last episode!" and a post saying "Just you guys wait for next episode huehuehue." If you don't remember, people were trying to do that for the Red Wedding last season, and it's a spoiler whether they want it to be or not.
Based on what show-watchers know, Episode 10 should be just another wrap up episode for the season, with maybe the most momentous thing being Tyrion's execution. His escape, Tywin and Shae's deaths, Lady Stonehart, Stannis arriving at the Wall, and Bran finding the children should all have varying degrees of surprise associated with them.
People can get hyped all they want but when you start telling people to get hyped for an episode that hasn't aired yet, you're basically telling them shit is going to go down, and not in the way that they expect.
And it's not like they were contributing anything, they were both essentially one-line posts to try to tip off show-watchers that next week will be epic.
Regardless of that, it will be epic!

So how are the next seasons going to be done? cause I could see mixing in Dance with dragons stuff in with Feast for Crows, They are the same Time but split up in books? What do you guys think?

93 ships man, 93 but no, that'd be weird as fuck and suddenly everything changes.

It feels kinda weird that they went out of their way to add some new scenes to the ironborn story but exactly that storyline feels the most incomplete/unresolved this season.

why can anyone whine about spoilers in this thread?

Dude, there's few things more annoying than telling people outright that something real big they're not expecting is going to happen in the next episode. There's just so much you can infer from stupid comments like that.
Episode 10 of the show has so far always been sort of a "wrap-up" episode where nothing surprising happened. Episode 10 of this season will be full of surprises. And you blatantly told people just that. You ruined the surprise. There's a fucking reason that making insinuations like that is not allowed in the other thread.

Re-watched episode 9, and I must say, while I did like asshole Thorne constantly try to kill Jon Snow, I liked making him a badass who at least acknowledges Jon's skills/strengths/decision-making.

people are commenting on the stuff that people say on the other thread, you can't really reply to those comments without breaking the rules, so its being talked about it here.

Everyone I know who hasn't read the book desperately wants to know what happens to Tyrion, some expect Stannis to attack KL with his newfound wealth (and possibly rescue Tyrion in the process), some wonder what the hell will happen if/when Hound vs Brienne happens, they expect Jon to assassinate or duel Mance, and some expect the white walkers to decimate the wildlings during the night, for better or worse.
Which one of these things has been spoiled in any way? God forbid some people balance whine with hype for a season finale! (Whine from a book reader, I might add, so who's spoiling what now?!)
On another note, I pity the book readers who don't/can't watch the show. It seems like the show will have more and more spoilers, and might even finish before the books are finalized. The internet will be a dangerous place then.

Wait, we're trying to ban people for 1-liners that can easily be interpreted as something groundbreaking to one person but pretty dull to another? Not to mention the show itself has been hyping the shit out of its finale. You don't just jump from an execution of perhaps the most beloved character in the series to an entire episode at the wall which has been largely fragmented in its buildup. It's clear they're stockpiling something for episode 10, ofc as we know this could be more than 3 different big things.
It's not like it's something specific like:
"Get ready for more surprises than any episode in the series thus far! This could be the best episode of the season!"

Why did Oberyon die when Tyrion was innocent by the way?

It's literally whoever has the most influence to have the command of a powerful swordsman, if you aren't one yourself. AKA the most influential/richest will generally win.
