Game of Thrones begins....

[Slargos]

Yeah, he kind of hit on some of the main plot points, but missed on some major ones. Almost as if he read a summary somewhere. Not that he would do that, of course, just to come on languish and preen about how brilliant he is for knowing everything that is going to happen in the future because he is so fucking smart...

I've never known Viper to be that level of douche, so I'm going to assume that he simply did what he said: watch the show and extrapolate future events based on empirical knowledge of story telling and the hints given so far in the story.

That he misses some major ones certainly shouldn't be surprising since he hasn't actually read the books. 

[Slargos]

Even though most of his predictions are wrong...

Well, not to be contrarian, but are they "Earth is flat and if you sail far enough you'll fall off the end" wrong or simply "earth is perfectly spherical" wrong?

For instance, while Cersei doesn't physically inflict the wound, she certainly has a hand in its dealing.

It isn't really that high a douchey level, pretty low really for languish.

[Valmy]

I don't understand this brand association.

So he doesn't want to read the books? So what? [and yes, I know he says he was kidding, but for the sake of argument...]

I was only objecting to how and why he was telling Buddha not to.  I was not telling Viper he should read them or anybody else for that matter if they do not like the series or the books.

Well.

Reading the Wiki and then pretending to have reasoned it out on his own is a level of stupidity that I don't really consider for most Languishites. Perhaps Jaron or FB would lead me to consider it, but this? What would be the point?

"Hah, I'm going to use a cheat-sheet but get the answers intentionally wrong enough that I still look mildly clever. PROFIT!"

Really... point?

[The Brain]

Let's not argue about who's the biggest douche on Languish.

[Berkut]

Let's not argue about who's the biggest douche on Languish.

Yeah, that cannot end well.

[Valmy]

Let's not argue about who's the biggest douche on Languish.

There is no point.  It is blatantly obvious who it is after all.

No contest.

I think that that kind of predictions really miss a lot of the issues. It's not as much about the final destination as about the trip there. In the big picture some storyline might go one way or the other, but what happens in the lifes of the characters is as important or even more important than the fact that faction X wins or loses.

[viper37]

well except the "White Walkers" they are sorta important.

I thought they would be, but someone here said we would never see them again.

@Berkut:
Do you think someone fucking his own sister and throwing a boy from, oh a 20ft high tower, all in the first episode, can have any redeeming qualities written for this show?  Is it usually the bad guys or the good guys that tend to live long and prosper?

I can figure who's who by myself.

Maybe it's because I watched the first four episodes in 2 days instead of 4 weeks, that tends to make a better impression of what's happenning.

I'm still a little confused about all these characters, who's the son of who and who's a bastard or an ally or an ennemy or who is really sane or is not.

[Slargos]

You'll be surprised, I think, even if you believe you've got it all figured out.

You'd be amazed.

I'll come to it, given time
I want to see what's really different from the tv show.

At some point, someone here is gonna come and say "this is ridiculous, the author never intended X to be portrayed like that, I thought he was more like "Y" or something like "I hate ghosts killing people, they are ridiculous even if they are not green".

See, I can even read into the future now
