If you've read the source material, you're playing on a completely different level than someone who hasn't. Anything you assume about the show is more than likely, at least in some part, based on your knowledge of the books. So why can't people just stay in threads where they belong and their information is relevant? The answer is just because that makes too much fricking sense and would be too easy.


It's fun to see other folks theories on stuff and see their reactions. It's similar to having friends read book series and see them react to thing the same way you did, or differently as the case may be.

Also some book readers get way too pissy over changes and it's way more fun to discuss things with folks coming to it fresh.

But I agree that folks need to GTFO with spoilers and discussing future seasons in here. Clarifying a question asked based on info that is known in the tv series is one thing, but giving forward knowledge to answer questions is quite another.

And being a dick like TN Bhoy is just straight up BS.

It's pretty sad particularly since the first seasons thread went really well and pretty much spoiler free. I guess the success of the first season just led to so many more readers that we had a number of spoilerish retards pop up.

Wow, Admins took a hatchet to this thread. Much appreciated.

I appreciate the book readers in here who have answered questions using only what we know from the TV version.

It appears my theory on benjen is off, but I am interested to see where he pops up again.

Where are Arya and crew headed now?

Of course. But that should only be done if you're an adult who can manage to keep his (obviously book-biased) opinions to himself. Most people are. Unfortunately, some are not. And it's one thing to see what nonreaders are saying and seeing their reactions and whatnot. It's a completely different animal to play the whole "Oh you JUST WAIT..." or "If you think that was awesome...." games when you clearly know what's up.

And even if some of the spoilers TN posted are fake and only a couple things are real, the whole act is still bullshite. Some people want to be completely ignorant of the information in the books and only want to watch the show for what it is. That's why there are two very clearly different discussion threads on here every week. Yet time after time, people barge up into the wrong threads talking about shite or giving away shite that shouldn't be talked about. It's just weird.
