Game of Thrones Leak: 5 Stages Of Fan Anxiety While Trying Not To Watch
4. Anger
So you got past denial. Now you may be feeling downright enraged. "Why would someone do this?! Why would they tempt the masses like this? What kind of twisted mind would dangle this in front of us, knowing that to take advantage of it would mean tainting our whole viewing experience? I shouldn't have to make this decision!"
Totally understandable. It is truly maddening that someone (who was unfortunately trusted with these episodes early) would choose to unfairly tantalize the world with the opportunity to blow through half the season in a day. Only an evil mastermind would put the fandom through this kind of undue stress.
The thing to remember is, to partake would mean cheating yourself out of the event that Game of Thrones has become. People get together, make themed food and drink homemade Westeros Ale from horns, all in the name of this weekly event. To take that aspect away from the experience, would only serve to cheapen it completely. Stay strong.
