A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

If anything, that was more out of character for show Stannis.

Spoiler:

Possibly for good reason, if you believe the rumors...

[Guynemer]

Yeah... show Stannis is definitely not the same person as book Stannis.

I hate you show. Seriously, I hate you.

Ok, this is funny in a completely non spoiler way. Peter Dinklage sings a song about Game of Thrones.

I prefer to wait.

And the preview for this Sunday's episode.

The tv show has gone completely different from the books so we are all speculating at this point.

Agree completely. That's one of the things I am enjoying so much abut this season. Not only do I not know what is going to happen, I have strong assurance that I will know, within a reasonable amount of time.

[grumbler]

It's completely a fanwank. You are inventing dialogue that never happened to advance your pet theory.

Fanwank: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Dialogue: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Theory: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

And considering the previews for next week, it seems very likely that the background for my reason is going to happen next episode, which IMO makes it more likely that was the reason Tyrion brainfarted.

I used my gibberish-English translator and this still came out gibberish. "The background for my reason is going to happen next episode"? Gibberish.

As I explained, there is a reasonable explanation for why Tyrion and Dani didn't mention the Martells when discussing which houses might support her. I didn't claim to know this to be true, nor propose any theory, nor any dialogue, nor even express any admiration for their choice. I just offered an explanation. Feel free to try to make this some personal thing. It won't work. I simply don't care what you think is a "fanwank" (even using the word correctly).

But those that have read the book have to be a bit more careful. As long as they base it on what the show is doing, I don't have a problem. Be nice to the others though.

Speculating about it isn't a spoiler in my opinion. Unless you're basing it on book knowledge which it doesn't sound like he is.

Rag on him for the past, this one doesn't deserve it. But, yeah, in general it's easier to err on the side of caution and abuse him for everything.

[Imran Siddiqui]

To be fair, Oerdin has been known to let loose with some really big spoilers because it seems like he wasn't thinking about it. So err on the side of caution would be wise, I think.

If I don't spoiler something from the show, I tend to try my best to be as vague as I can possibly be about it.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Basically, if you're discussing any events not yet shown in the show, spoiler it. I don't care how obvious you think it is.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I did but let's face it, Dany getting married is hardly a spoiler as they have been talking about it for three episodes. Plus the name of the episode surely implies something to do with dragons and dragons are only in one place. That really isn't much of a spoiler.

Because it's not like we're dealing with a writer who might do something unexpected like turning a previously-announced wedding into a massacre.
