In the beginning I was determined to watch it eventually, I just didn’t have the time there and then. But hearing and reading about it everywhere I went made me sick of the show even without watching it. I like going into a show blind, knowing nothing about it, as I want to learn about the world building and every minutia in the tempo thendirectors intended. Watching GoT at that point would’ve taken the fun out of it for me. In general I have a pretty low bar for what I consider spoilers, that might be related.
