After swearing off GoT for the longest time, I finally started watching it and I am pleased I did. It's very engrossing.

I've seen all of GoT apart from the current series.
I applaud George RR Martin for writing books people love. But I can't love it the same way people do, and the show just bores me from what I've seen of it. So I'm glad people love it, but I just don't get it.
I'm really shying away from watching the series. The reason being that all I ever hear from it are people going maniacal about spoilers. It's all about "NO SPOILERS!" "SPOILER ALERT!" "SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!" Really? Is the whole quality of the series based on plot points and twists not being revealed? Is it really ruined when you know a revelation beforehand, and is it more important to not know this than to watch how it's being done? Is there no artistic quality to the storyline, writing, acting or visuals that makes the series enjoyable even if you already know what's going to happen?

That definitely does not remind me of a spoiler panic on a certain forum... 
On the other hand, it's true that if something's supposed to be a twist, than it's nice to feel surprised yourself. I wouldn't be running down the streets yelling "OMG! Verbal Kint is Keyser Soze! Bruce Willis was dead the whole time! It was his sled! Pattinson died in 9/11!" (Wait... too soon?), at least not intentionally.

I guess it all depends on how you feel about spoilers in general. It's always nice to be able to watch/read for the first time without knowing in advance what will happen, but
In my opinion, Game Of Thrones is good in all the important categories and I'd definitely recommend it; spoiled or not.
This should be the most important in determining whether or not to watch a show. It's the writing, directing, acting, etc.. that truly make a show good, not the twists and turns of the plot.

Spoilers, man!!
I thought the spoilers in GoT were basically about which order everyone dies?

I would definitely agree. It's made with an impeccable level of skill and beauty. The show being as big as it is and because I'm starting way back in the first season, I unfortunately know many of the plot points that are going to happen but I am still enjoying the hell out of the ride.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Dear friends,
It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following. Please join me in remembering a great Minnesotan.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly-greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Cap'n Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours as long- time friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man
who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very "smart" cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he -- even still, as a crusty old man -- was considered a roll model for millions. Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.
