re: Game of Thrones S8 E1 "Winterfell" Official Thread

So is the Stark line dead? Rickon is dead, Bran clearly isn’t about carrying on the line, and Snow is a Targaryen.

Sansa can give the Stark name to her future husband, or child.

Example, Lyanna Mormont. She has carried the Mormont name through her mother

I’m ready for this to begin.

Are we having separate threads again this year?

You would think, but non-book people have consistently lost their shite when things have been brought up from books (even old material). Sounds like an admin call.

Hugo Stiglitz. Isn’t he permabanned now?

There are def spoilers out there

The only people who "lost their shite" were the bookreaders who were pissed off

It wasn't about spoilers anymore, it was the way that like 3 or 4 book readers would BOMBARD show threads with 50,000 fricking fan fiction theories about characters they liked in the books but weren't on the show. It's fricking idiotic for a weekly episode thread to have 800 replies a week before the show airs. And yes, they were starting the episode threads sometimes before the current episode even aired.

They made it hard to find actual TV SHOW discussion within the threads. Thats why we brought back the Hodor threads, and the posters who "lost their shite" were the Fan Fiction writers club who got pissy about losing part of their imaginary audience. There is absolute zero other legitimate reason for yall to bitch about us starting the Hodor threads. This is the "Movie/TB Board," not the poorly-written Fan Fiction Board.

Also, it's no different than any other show that's been based on book or comic book source material. People who have read the material are going to talk about it. Before the episode no less. Also, not exclusive to GoT. This

bullshite. I don't spam Marvel movie threads with 20 posts an hour dropping knowledge bombs about 90's era comic books and posting my brilliant alternate plot ideas. In fact, I hardly see anyone doing that on any subjects except Game of Thrones.

The fact that you're starting this bullshite up again this year shows exactly what the problem is. It's a couple of fantasy bookreaders who could not possibly get enough attention when their favorite books were finally adapted. Nobody wants to read any of yall's fanfiction, but there are plenty of other forums for posting fanfiction if yall are going to insist on. Here's one that took 2 seconds to find: LINK

Someone simply asked whether we should have multiple threads. I pointed out what the previous issue was.

You’re literally melting over people starting threads before the episode and people talking about theories and prophecies from a book series/show full of them. Get over yourself.
