Dead Man Posting posted:Just a reminder that although TVIVers are hilariously dumb, spergy, and overall easily startled, we still shouldn't mess with their VIEWING EXPERIENCE. Every single GoT thread spergs like crazy. This one over GRRM and anything show related being awful, the spoiler thread over people posting spoilers in the show thread (which half the time are likely posts by show only people) and the show thread, over everything. It's great.

I can't wait for Ramsay to show up on the show so that the Sherlocks in the babby thread can start theorizing that Jon and he must be related, because they are both named Snow.

I passively mentioned lemoncakes and the thread collapsed into them being terrified of recipes spoiling them. If you so much as fart near that thread they'll claim your goon aroma is a spoiler. Just stay far the gently caress away from them unless you wanna spring for a new account. rypakal posted:Yes, watching a TV show is exactly like surgery. How do I metaphor?

VDay posted:You know what's more annoying to a book reader than the occasional minor spoiler? Having people constantly come in here and tell us how it's inevitable that we'll get spoiled and how we should just stop reading this thread and just go read a bunch of books that we have no interest in reading. This line of thought is completely alien to me. How can people be so heavily invested in a television show adapted from a novel that's widely accepted as being far superior and were well acclaimed before the adaptation yet have no interest whatsoever in the source material? It's not like the books are difficult to read or have insanely long chapters so you have to put it down half way through one often. If it were something like Lord of the Rings that is as much a study in a non existent language as it is a novel I could understand. I currently have a friend who is trying to finish A Clash of Kings (She's just at the Blackwater) and get to the Red Wedding (She knows it's a massive event but not what it actually is) before the show on June the second. That seems incredibly doable even at a slow pace to me. You could probably do it at a chapter a day pace, right?

Aurain posted:This line of thought is completely alien to me. Because some people like different things? There's no chance in hell my wife is ever going to read the books. I'm still not even sure why she watches the show. But gently caress yeah did I enjoy her shock when they sliced of Ned's head. (Granted, she's not so in love with the show that she feels the need to debate plot points endlessly on an internet thread, so I'm not really comparing her to TVIV). I mean, reading the source material for something you love is perfectly reasonable to me, and it would be alien for me not to do that. But I'm perfectly fine with people who don't feel the same. Also, it's kind of hard to recommend when it currently ends in watery poo poo.

To get to the Red Wedding you'd read about 2.2 chapters a day, starting from AGoT prologue. About 30 minutes a day. Which is a laughably short time to read books. Especially considering time spent flipping your poo poo because you're too stupid to read anything but terrible internet posts. The only answer is TVIV goons are laughably stupid and lazy. I can't even imagine how furious a TVIV goon must get when watching "The Bible". They left out like 85% of the story, and you know someone mentioned that.

No joke, I read these books while in high school reading literally about a chapter a day because I also had a poo poo-load of textbooks and assigned English books to read each day. I finished the first three books in less than a year and I still had plenty of time to hang out with friends, play dumb videogames, study for school, and masturbate. What are these guys doing that takes so much time out of their day that they can't be assed to read incredibly easy-to-read, critically acclaimed books? I mean I could understand if they were parents and/or incredibly busy people. But if they have time to read a ginormous thread about a TV series based off a book series, then why is it hard for them to read the source material?

I mean, fine if you want to talk with people about stuff you like. But if you're going to talk for 400 pages... ...I just realized I am in a thread that spans nearly 600 pages the majority of which are about hating the GURM.
