Game of Thrones - Book Readers' Thread - - - - - - Part 23

[dude stannis]

I wonder if they'll acknowledge Howland Reed at the Tower of Joy on the show. Likewise, I wonder when he'll bother showing up in the books. Seems like a lot of crap could've been avoided if he'd been more active.

 

[Reek]

you know D&D don't care

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well that is an established fact. It is kind of sad, it feels like they stopped caring after they got to adapt their favorite book.

 

[Reek]

yea season 3 and 4 they gave all they had left.

 

[Reek]

This is what she said (in High Valyrian):

Zȳhys ōñoso jehikagon Āeksiot epi, se gīs hen s&#563rorro jemagon.
“We ask the Lord to shine his light, and lead a soul out of darkness.”

Zȳhys perzys stepagon Āeksio Ōño jorepi, se morghūltas lȳs qēlītsos sikagon.
“We beg the Lord to share his fire, and light a candle that has gone out.”

Hen s&#563rorro, ōños. Hen ñuqīr, perzys. Hen morghot, glaeson.
“From darkness, light. From ashes, fire. From death, life.”

 

[Asteroid-Man]

her father shouldn't be hard to find since he is sitting in Greywater Watch

Find = Go get him/go see him.

 

[TheFuture]

Ah they'll have to acknowledge Howland, give Meera something to bloody do like.

Just rewatched the battle of winterfell. Brienne is one of my homies but when she starts the whole "Renly Baratheon, rightful heir....." I cringe inside. Even bloody Stannis couldn't muster up a **** no he's not.

 

[Reek]

Meera and Bran.... IMO

[BLACKOUT]Are attacked by the white walkers... 3re dies maybe even Hodor(since the scene i am about to mention has no hodor.)... Meera and Bran flee.. south or north? ... and Coldhands/or Benjen/or a D&D esque mix of both... saves them in that one scene with the ghostrider like chain or rope with the end on fire. I don't see a Meera/Howland meeting happen.. if Jon's parentage is to be known to everyone, I'm not sure how they will go about it on the show. [/BLACKOUT]

Maybe [BLACKOUT]Jon's parentage is known to the world when Sansa AND Jon are trying to rally Northeners to their cause against Ramsay and ehat truly gets them on board is the appearence of Howland Reed (the Northerners should know he was bff with Ned)[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Spider-Who?]

I bet R+L=J wasn't even fact until fan theories popped up and GRRM and D&D said hell yeah.

GRRM has always known Snow's true lineage. D&D figuring it out was one of the reasons GRRM agreed to let them make the show.

Reek, what are those spoilers pertaining too. The last time you just wrapped something in blackout it was leaked set reports. Is this the same case?

It is speculation.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

It is speculation.

Then I shan't be reading it. This is what I was talking about with labelling spoilers.

 

[Marvolo]

We are in the Book Readers thread. A spoiler thread about a show based on books that have been out for decades. Nothing in that speculation is anything that isnt in the books or the previews for this season. I dont even know why he would tag that. Let alone label it.

The title of this thread is irrelevant. The other day he posted about a death that was reported in set leaks - something not yet shown in the book or in the show. That's why I'm being cautious - I was assuming the spoiler was about the episode that had just aired an hour prior, but instead I was hit with a potentially big spoiler.

I agree. I think Reek was just trying to be nice.

We have individual threads for each episode that require spoiler tags and some labels and a dedicated non-spoiler thread that requires tags and some labels for all spoilers including show spoilers. This thread has been for spoiler talk for years.

And yes the title of the thread matters. If you think it doesnt go post a spoiler in a thread that has "non spoiler thread" in the title and see how long it takes to receive an infraction.

 

[Reek]

What death did i spoil?

spoiler etiquette... lol blackouts and spoiler tags are widely regarded as spoilers...

I even blacked out my OPINION/THEORY of what happened to avoid whining... and low and behold.. the whining finds me anyway

Ah I see... this is the post Asteroid Man is talking about that happened after the freaking show aired and i had it blacked out... If you are seriously foolish enough to click blacked out tags 20 minutes after en episode ends... then that's a different set of issues.
Read back through the last thread... EVERYONE does it that way in this thread. Marvolo mentioned Trystane... not long after the episode. Roose mentioned it as well, BEFORE the episode. all in blacked out tags.

So before you call someone out (me), take a look at the area you are in, and how everyone is doing it. Singling me out lol that's fine.


Spoiler etiquette? ...

here's Reek Common Sense: Do not venture into threads that will clearly be talking about the episode that just aired without seeing the episode yourself.

I can't believe I am having to tell someone this.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Please tell me that isn't what he was complaining about.

Yea... I was just being kind cause if my theory is correct ill be called out for spoiling. Hey, at least i didn't post some condescending post about etiquette.

 

[Reek]

I looked through every post in the previous thread and this one... its all I can make of whatever it is he is jabbering about.

If you remember correctly... any PRE EPISODE AIRING spoilers I have had... I hold told people to PM me for them.

Marvolo, Victarion, I believe you as well? All PM's.

 

[Victarion]

Yeah, you been careful with spoilers.

 

[Reek]

That's not true. If it is, I don't recall.

It is speculation.

Wait... so you come here to read what then? Spoilers are a no no... now speculation is a no no, too?
