Until yesterday’s ep, I’ve been watching this season on the AMC site, where it’s available at the same time as it starts airing live on TV. And even though I can immediately start downloading it, I still have to actually watch it before I can gif so I finish at the same time as everyone else (well, a little earlier, the stream doesn’t have ads).
But yesterday’s ep was apparently leaked a few hours early? The news just seemed to spread on Twitter and the link from person to person through DM, which is how I got it. So I was able to finish watching it hours before it aired and once it officially started, I could start giffing as soon as the download finished. Although, I really did want to make sure not to spoil anyone on THIS particular scene, so I actually turned the TV on and tuned into AMC to see where the live broadcast was with its commercials and waited till the scene aired before posting. I imagine next week it probably will not get leaked.
