On the plus side, at this point the thread faggots can't do much more damage (without it being blatant, that is). Probably half of the storylines have passed the books at this point, and the other half are damn close.
I don't think we'll get to the point where the threads merge, as the spoiler thread is basically "book readers talk about the show" and this is the non-book reader equivalent. But it's getting to the point where the worst you'll hear is stuff that just expounds on the universe like the Valyrian weapons list that Tuco posted. It doesn't spoil anything and just gives you more info, but it's information you'd only get from non-show sources.
Actually, was just thinking about it and there's a lot of talk in the spoiler thread about storylines long passed that got cut. People still talk about "just wait until soandso happens!" despite all evidence being that it'll never be in the show.

Well, there's always the "The Others are actually good guys" theory...
Maybe once the Night's King has enough soldiers for his army, he will bend the knee to the 1000th commander of the Night's Watch (Jon, after he's ressed and comes back) to help them face the evil Targaeryans and their Stonemen horde.
How did she not see this coming, especially with the scene where crazy boy confronts her. She is not her father.
I just re-watched the scene, the flames closest to him went out.. so maybe they have a resistance to fire
Glad Kevan Lannister is back to try and fix Cersci's nonsense. Man whatever she touches turns to complete and utter shit

Dude, if you post in this thread, don't post shit like this in the non spoilers thread.
You're basically just trying to troll the other thread.

this is what he posted in the no-spoilers thread, when we all know Kevan dies some time in the next two episodes. I admit I'm curious if Varys will still monologue over the dying Kevan, and if he does, what will he talk about with Aegon not having been introduced? My guess is that there never will be an Aegon and he'll just monologue about Daenerys.
Fuck man, maybe I should get over my butthurt and catch up on the series.

Its a decent show with always awesome episode 9 and 10s. There is a bit of filler in the other episodes, but if you've read the books you already know that

My chief complaint from the books (which I read between S2 and S3 and are why I stopped watching) is so much shitty stuff happens that it just starts to lose all meaning and you get desensitized to it. I don't mind dark settings, I love to read 40K literature and it doesn't really get any more grimdark than that. But when you just pile on shitty thing after shitty thing, I lose interest because there is no point in investing in any of the characters. That's why I ended up hating the Todd McCaffrey Pern novels, because his idea of a riveting story was HERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLE THEN SOMETHING MORE HORRIBLE THEN SOMETHING EVEN MORE HORRIBLE then things might settle down NOPE SOMETHING ELSE HORRIBLE. Tragedy is a great way to drive a narrative forward when used sparingly. When Euripides had Medea kill Jason's new wife and children, it was tragic. If she'd killed Jason too, it would have been too much and the play would have been a disaster.
But fuck it, maybe I'll watch anyway.

I love how horrific it gets in ASOIAF. I want more. It's just not a story about characters as much as a story about fucked up shit happening in the kingdom of Westeros. And that's one of my disappointments with the character merges in the show because it puts a lot of extra emphasis on certain characters at the expense of the plethora of interwoven grudges and powerplays, and we get the Lannister-Stark story. I get that it has a lot of basis in England's War of the Roses which prominently featured two families, but character-centric stories are a big part of the reason why I stopped reading authors like Salvatore who have characters with consequences-be-damned plot armor against everything. They're just comic books, and killing off main characters is killing the golden goose. Martin gives very few fucks about who the readers consider the main character, and he regularly turns the story on its head. It keeps me interested because I never really know who is going to die and when. ASOIAF is a good story, not a comic book about Starkman vs. Lannistergirl, and that's awesome. GoT is significantly different in this regard, and proportionately less awesome.
I am guessing this is it. It starts out small, gets bigger then fades out. I think it's just a cluster of color changing clouds like the rest of the area, but it gives it enough wiggle room to be a dragon due to how the shape changes and how fast.
