HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

Would be disappointed if Bran were to actually be dead because in retrospect it would've been handled so poorly.

Stock answer is (serenely) 'you'll just have to turn in for next week's all-new A GAME OF THRONES, lisa'

wait your friends name is LISA? [end spoiler]

lisa TARGARYEN-GANDALF

you realize that you guys have now effectively spoiled the "is bran dead?" question. i mean, i figured he wasn't, and i expect any sensible viewer would figure the same, but please, for god's sake, stop responding here if you've read the books and can't keep a tight lid on what you know.

I don't think anyone has confirmed anything?

i think contenderizer is referring to that fact that l******'s k******* would never happen if bran were still alive

jon lewis, whom i love:

It's so hard not to mercy-spoil when she's like (e.g. most recent ep) 'NO IS JON SNOW GONNA DIE?' 'DID HE KILL BRAN?'

makes pretty clear what's not being said

huh

yeah I don't know what you're reading into that

uh, well it wouldn't really be a "mercy" spoil if either of these things were true

"oh don't worry babe, they're dead alright!"

mercy spoil helps the worrier feel better, e.g., "no, don't worry, he isn't dead."

lol xp

no, a 'mercy spoil' just puts someone out of the misery of being anxious and worried about the outcome.

that's how i read it.

i just kind of wish book people would confine themselves to the spoiler thread. that way us illiterates could speculate blissfully, without any suggestion that the road ahead even exists.

JUST READ THE FUCKING BOOKS

JUST GO POST IN THE OTHER THREAD see I can post in all caps too!

I CAN'T READ! there. i said it. i hope your'e happy.

TBH the road ahead exists less and less for book people, too, as the show increasingly goes its own route. But I will police myself carefully.

no, sorry, i will post in any thread i want

contenderizers secret shame

and guess what, you cant do anything about it, because if you keep whining i will start posting tons of spoilers

yeah just like... before posting in this thread ask yourself "could i have written this post if the books didn't exist?" and if the answer is no, go post it in the other thread

Nobody has spoiled anything at all about Bran. We're all cool guys, let's put away these spoiler threats. We're all a bunch of Fonzies.

i'm actually dyslexic so reading can be ridiculously difficult at times and time consuming. i work a fuck load and already have two books on the go (one has taken me a year and a half to get to the point of being almost done). so when i read sentiments like "JUST READ THE FUCKING BOOKS" it seriously makes me want to hulk out and smash the shit out of some assholes smug fuck face.

don't say that thermo he will ruin it for us just for shits and giggles.

yo everyone was cool in this thread till contenderizer started complaining, dont blame me

also if i wasnt here youd all still be spelling rickon wrong so

can you just email the spoilers directly to contenderizer then pretty please

I am in the limbo-like position of having read far beyond the show, but not yet up to the current end of the books, so where am I supposed to meet my posting needs huh?

i think it's a reasonable request (not that book people have to go away, just that it'd be nice if they followed ciderpress' advice). and there's no reason for anyone to get huffy about it.

i apologize for fantasizing about a world without book people

i just feel sorry for you if you think "lancel's kablooie" is actually something that might happen in this series

it's too late. i've turned green and torn all my cloths off.

xpost (fun with dyslexia - i brutally misread "a world without book people" at first"!)

i just feel sorry for you if you think "lancel's kablooie" is actually something that might happen in this series

well, ILX people often have comical ways of referring to things. you never know.

once i posted on this thread that everyone you like will probably die and ppl rended garments and wept in the streets

max: stop threatening
contenderizer: stop worrying
GRR Martin: stop adding letters to normal names because nobody's buying Robb's full name is Robbert.

it's just robb iirc

It's actually Robbeerrtt and don't make fun of the Dutch language it's older than English

spoiler!

why do they call him ned, his name isn't neddard

there's no reason for anyone to get huffy about it.

It's a perfectly reasonable request, I was just being fake huffy.

Brief rebellious period where he grew a soul patch and asked his girlfriends to call him Bobb
