And Silverfox, I've heard some of them think I'm a reader as well and am just trolling people with my "anti readers crusade." Wear it like a badge of honor.


That's the plan. However, I'm not really sure what I've done to get on the watchlist but oh well I'm just gonna continue on my merry way.

That sucks bro. I would have hated to have anything spoiled for me. I'm literally upset that you can't enjoy what ever it is like most of us have been able to.

Well this thread went to fricking shite. 2/3 solid pages of almost exclusively readers. Nice work.


Are you seriously complaining about us coming here to tell you that we know for a fact that Billy is a reader and to get him out of your thread?

All I've done is rehash old episodes, so I have zero fricking clue what you're talking about

I'm not getting into this here, but we have empirical evidence that you know what happens in the future.

Intradasting.

1. I don't care to read fantasy novels (I read books about war and sports)
2. I've already posted in these threads multiple times that book readers should GTFO of this thread and stop trying to be internet heroes
3. I've read HBO episode guides for synopses on past events - is that bad?
4. I don't understand why people try to win the interwebz in these non-reader threads with their "super-awusmmm HUURRR" book knowledge - how much of a loser do you have to be?

If anyone has a problem with my shite, check my post history and tell me where I spoiled something, or mentioned something that wasn't on the show.

ETA: If the whole "is he the Bolton bastard?" discussion is spoilers, you haven't been paying attention hard enough to the show, IMO.

I'm not saying that I agree with the Sword Swallowing masses, but some of the posts were suspect. However, pointing them out here defeats the purpose of trying to prevent spoilers.

Exactly. Not going to happen.

Oh, and the post we are specifically speaking is not just "suspect".

Every post I made happened in the show. So I guess suspect = happened in the show?

I've said before, it is better to let a non-bookreader be right on a theory than to call it a spoiler. When it is just a theory no one knows if it is true or really going to happen. It's just the thoughts of a watcher.

Once someone who knows calls it a spoiler, then the truth is known. Of course the non-readers are going to guess. That is part of watching the show.


I'm starting to think the reason so many of ours post here is because it IS taboo.

I saw "the spoiler" and am on the fence. By paying close attention to the show and watching it on subtitles you could pick out the information.

All this stuff did, was derail the discussion and validate a theory.

RA spoilers, but no reason to post. At all, (hypocrite, sorry)

It's not the Bolton Bastard that makes us think you know what is going on. You reference something there's no way you could guess at with your current information. I'll tell you in the Reader's Thread if you want.

This thread sucks....

Discussing things with other people that watch the show was fun, but all you people busting in here pointing fingers at spoilers and crap ruin things.

Will not read or post in these threads again as you all suck (people pointing out spoilers or those that knowingly post spoilers)

This isn't about theories or speculation. The post in question was about knowing that something will or will not happen.

To the non-readers, I am seriously just trying protecting you on this. Do I think Silverfox could be a reader? Meh, maybe, but I don't give a frick because his posts aren't telling either way. This is different.

My only problem with Billy is, how many people are that confident in things that happen in this series? Every watcher in this thread is saying "How the eff are we supposed to know who this guy torturing Theon is?" And then Billy Badass comes in saying its so obvious. It just doesn't add up for me and I have rewatched with subtitles and paid attention to the best of my ability.

If in fact, Billy you are just really freaking smart, then cool, that's awesome you picked up on all of this.

People post spoilers here (either accidentally or on purpose) - it happens. Everything can't be controlled. Not everyone knows the rules. People post as if they know something, but it might just be their opinion - there's no real way to know.

If I had a feeling about something and posted, "Ned Stark is going to die" in the Season 1 thread, and it happens, does that automatically make me a book-reading POS trying to spoil shite?

It's all about context - people post their opinions and it's often mistaken as someone posted facts. The only people that can know if these theories are true or not are people that know the spoilers themselves.

the show, is doing a great job of making it hard to know for sure who has Theon. There are strong hints that it is a Bolton, and is the Bastard. Hints since last season.

But the way things changed between mediums, no one knows for sure. He didn't seem to be in control during the torture. I read and I'm not sure that is Bolton's Bastard.

Anyway.
Both threads are more fun when discussing the show.
If you want to be a closet reader, then fine, just hold theories that are based on book speculation to yourself.

IMO, the two threads were better when it was show discussion and book discussion.
This reminds me of "Cartmanland" on South Park. If you have something and tell people they cannot come, they are going to want to see what it is about.

Many of us call out people for posting in this thread, only to later post in this thread.

(also, in May's defense. Looking at the casting gives away spoilers. )

Just curious why did you wait till episode 6 to start joining the discussion in these threads. Seemed like you are well versed with the show and site you would have been here earlier in the season
