Spoiler alert: Continue reading and you'll likely spoil the entire upcoming Games of Thrones season for yourself.
According to the Huffington Post, three weeks ago, a Redditor by the username awayforthelads posted spoilers for HBO's Game of Thrones seventh season. Although the account was eventually deleted, a recent report by Watchers on the Wall confirmed one of the aforementioned spoilers (namely, that "Jon Snow would bring a wight to Westeros as proof that the White Walkers are coming.").
According to another Reddit user, starkandlannister (who claims to have "insider knowledge"), the leaks weren't entirely reliable: “There is a possibility that the leaker knew some things but made up some of it. Maybe he only guessed some of it but guessed wrong. Or maybe he was someone who actually knew a lot of things but was intentionally trying to lead people the wrong way to hide some major events and surprises.”
This isn't HBO's first encounter with leaks. Before the fifth season of the show premiered, a whole bunch of the season's yet-to-be-aired episodes were dropped online as part of a massive leak. Back then, Alexander Siddig, who played Prince Doran on the show, suggested that HBO itself was responsible for the spoilers as a way to build up hype.
Whether this turns out to be a farce or an HBO-fueled promotion, we personally can't wait for the season to premiere... Join us? Here is the compilation of awayforthelads' spoilers (reposted by another user).
