Is that the name of your treehouse gang? You're the third person I've noticed who's used that term.

Maybe your collective plateau of intellectual enlightenment limits you all to the use of the same adjectives. Maybe you think even more of yourselves than you believe I think of myself. But the real question is: Do you think more of yourself than you believe I think of you?

shite to ponder. Sir.

Yes, maybe, and I guess you'll just have to see. It all means nothing until then. Just promise to use that big brain of yours and remember I said all of this. Okay?

is this like an internet stutter?? you were so pissed that you almost said Bipshits but then corrected yourself?

Im very confused by this matter

By hodor thread you mean non book readers?

If there was an actual thread about hodor I'm pissed I missed it

Hodor = a retarded giant (or Giant Retard). It is so perfect.

i like this thread.

as a non reader i would like the non reader thread to be less about spoiler wars but damn. there are 3 different kinds of posts there:
1) good discussion
2) spoiler war
3) and people that miss things, sometimes little
sometimes huge, that somehow turns into spoiler war posts.

i miss things too, but some people really have a hard time keeping up.

i'm not the biggest spoiler nazi around but by not treading lightly in the interwebs world i've had some pretty big things spoiled. but oh well i can't undo it and will keep my mouth shut for others.


for once, i'm kinda interested in sansa's storyline, it seems like some pretty important people are manuvering for her. the previews make it look like shite will go down with the brotherhood and the hound this week. also in the war. but honestly, i don't care what happens or what gets revealed this week as long as i can learn podrick's secret ways.

It's the way the episode was pieced together that supported Theon being held by Boltons. You get a close up view of multiple Bolton flags (flayed guy on an X) as they are heading to Harrenhal I believe. Roose Bolton is mentioned in the conversation to get their name in there as you again see the sigil around. Then you cut to Theon on an X contraption and getting tortured for information. I believe they even cut from that right back to the flayed man sigil. (Too late for fact checking so I didn't load up the episode this time to see the order for sure)

---

Like I said, it didn't seem obvious until after the fact. I noted the similarity, but that particular crucifiction/torture device has been used by a lot of different people throughout history. If I'd read page after page about House Bolton and the flayed man, I would have put 2 and 2 together. The hints are easier to catch if you've read the books, I suppose.

either way, I do not envy the young Prince.

bnap was being an a-hole - insulting my "failure to notice" a scene he didn't clarify, trying to troll out book knowledge I don't have. Even if I had read the books, that would have been pretty transparent.

Evidently, at this point in the story, the reader knows more about Theon's situation than does the viewer

Depends on what books you have read. Some readers know nothing.

I can think of two spoilers you forgot to cover.
