"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Sansa and Theon don't get away, no way. Ramsay's dogs always catch up.

Also, what's Bran doing on the Spain sets with Tyrion and Dany?

I'm rewatching it at this very moment. I'm nearly finished with the fourth season, 2 minutes or so left. After I'm done with the fifth, I'll be reading the books until it premieres.

I don't intend to finish them all before then. I will continue reading them while watching the sixth season. It's good practice, anyway. It will be the first time that we watch it on TV first, and then read about it. I had half a mind to wait for the book but then I realized I'll never be able to protect myself from spoilers. What do you think on this count?

Who knows if the show is actually spoiling the remaining books, now. Only GRRM. The show runners only know how the story ends, from what I've heard.
I had read all five books before I watched the first episode. So I'm approaching it from that angle. The books are a completely different experience. There are so many story lines and details in the books that are not possible to show on the screen. You spend more time with ancillary characters and get more into the history and lore. I like the books and the show for many of the same reasons, but even more for different reasons.
You can't go wrong, whichever way you do it.
