The daywalkers of Thrones fandom, these are the chaps who pretend to walk the walk, but never put in the hard yards ploughing through a book so thick it could be used as a weapon. They've surfed the Ice And Fire Wiki and know exactly where Dany ends up (hint: it's not Brighton), all so they could be the in-the-know guy in their friendship group. Of course, if anyone asks, they'll says they read the books. Gits.
14. The I'm-Just-Happy-To-Be-Theres
Probably the largest group of fans, this is just the people who're happy to something like Game Of Thrones on TV. Even 10 years ago, most studios would baulk at merely putting something this dementedly weird on-screen, never mind throw vast sums at it (apparently each episode of the show costs a cool $6 million) that King Midas would call 'a bit much.' They're not above reading too far into the spoilers, but they know when to stop, simply happy that something which proudly features dragons and warlocks can rub shoulders with the best TV has to offer. Why would they press on, when they can just enjoy the show? It's almost as if they're adults.
13. The Slash Fictioners
In a way, you've got to admire slash fiction writers. They can see patterns where there were none, and find a link where no-one else could. In years gone by, they'd be codebreakers, A Beautiful Mind style. However, this is now, and what we've got is some very distasteful drawings of Missandei. Honestly, it's staggering which people they put together. Hodor and Cersei Lannister. Hodor and Robert Baratheon. Hodor and another Hodor. Hodor Hodor Hodor. Nobody minds a bit of titillation every now and again, but this gets so depraved even the Romans would probably tell them to tone it down. And please guys, stop with the Hodors.
12. The Ashamed Wiki Addicts
Different to their other wiki-reading brethren, the addicts are a sorrowful lot. They wanted to be surprised, truly they did, but unfortunately, they've got poor impulse control. So when Bran was chucked from that tower in season one, they weren't going to wait to see how it turned out they wanted it all, and they wanted it now. So they booted up the net and read everything. What followed was akin to eating a KFC family bucket to yourself fleetingly enjoyable, but with dire consequences in the long haul. Replace bowel-perforating vengeance with the guilt that you can never, ever be surprised again by GRRM's narrative pimp-slaps, and that's the situation facing these guys. The Red Wedding didn't shock them, and they really wanted it to. They're in fan purgatory, and they're so, so ashamed.
11. Joffrey Watchers
A very small subset of people who watch the show thinking if they concentrate hard enough, their thoughts will transfer through the screen and throttle the blond-haired douchetrumpet to death, time, logic and reality be damned. But still, the little turd keeps on living, and continues parading about King's Landing effortlessly displaying just why he's the most awful creature ever put on the small screen. He hasn't even been slapped since season two, and that's a crying shame. Oh well, maybe next week, eh?
