Boost I agree with what you're saying and I think what it comes down to is trust. If the same exact words from my post came from someone like dranger who has had a history of spoiling things in this thread, I get the concern. But considering the first words of my post indicated that I'd already deleted a completely non spoiler post out of sensitivity to those who may construe it as such, I should hope you have enough trust in my character that I wouldn't give any information or speculation based on advanced knowledge of the books.

I should also note that the show has already covered a solid majority of the book material, and it is increasingly becoming quite difficult for book-readers to spoil things, as we are more and more surprised by the events depicted in season 4 every week. Subtle thematic threads were very well developed by this point in the narrative. Also, themes are often the opinion of the reader/viewer anyway so it's just impossible for you to glean anything remotely resembling a spoiler from such vague comments as mine.
