The Outlander tv show is my current obsession. I enjoy reading and commenting on reviews of the episodes, because there’s nothing I like better than having discussions with people who enjoy something as much as I do.

In the process of doing so, I have encountered the same snag that Game of Thrones watchers have: non-book readers. If I wish to make a comment on how a treatment of a particular event in the show might effect the plot of later books, is it the height of rudeness to not go to elaborate lengths to avoid spoiling those who haven’t read the books, even though the series has been out for more than two decades? 

Personally, I watched several seasons of Game of Thrones, and it didn’t bother me to read spoiler-filled discussions of the book plots from other viewers, mostly because I had no intentions of ever reading the books (I attempted to do so, but didn’t enjoy them) and I never was very good with surprises.

I would say if you enjoyed the first book in the series and you’re enjoying the show, go ahead and read the rest of the series. Personally, I love the books, and consider Jamie and Claire to be some of my all-time favorite characters. I find the historical aspects of the series to be quite well-researched, and I love how Gabaldon has portrayed the clashes between modern perspectives and that of those living in the past.

I am waiting for a client to show up. Therefore, I can ask stupid questions.
