Be wary of spoilers, episodes of Game of Thrones have been leaked

As great as the Internet is, there’s hardly a worse place to be when you’re trying to avoid spoilers, particularly when the spoilers are for a show like Game of Thrones. The highly-anticipated fifth season of HBO’s most popular series has already had four of its episodes leaked online, which are available on many illegal streaming sites, so be wary of spoilers. 

Earlier this year, the entire third season of House of Cards was briefly released on Netflix by mistake, ahead of its official release date. Now it seems that four episodes of season five of Game of Thrones have leaked ahead of the season preview tonight, 9pm EST on HBO. Several illegal streaming sites, including PutLocker, have links to the episodes: “The Wars to Come,” “The House of Black and White,” “High Sparrow,” and “The Sons of the Harpy.” The season, comprising ten episodes, was filmed in 2014 between May and December and is mainly based on the fourth and fifth books of the series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. The last two books in the series have already been published.
