You do realize that one way of not spoiling is to use obscure references to people and events. Besides the books have been out for years and how the hell can you consider yourself a languishite and not have read any of them by now. Thats like never having played EU3.

Lighten up bro.  I wasn't knocking you.  I was stating my own bewilderment.

Doesn't know any of the character names, but can place ones from Skins and the British Office... Did Josquius make this?  ;)

Katmai's illiteracy is not an excuse.  :mad:

Last week I was let down by the Languish hype.

This week I was underwhelmed by the ho-hum season-ender.  :(
Aren't the two of these the only episodes you've seen?  Aside from being a pretty foolish way to watch the series, you really can't expect to know the names of characters or why things are relevant to anything when you jump into it at the very end of the third season. :rolleyes:

I started reading the them several years ago, couldn't finish the first book.  Martin's prose defeated me.

Actually, I got Gareth from The Office as the one eyed guy from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Still doesn't solve my problem when Puff and crew are discussing the appearance of Wuldy and Miflow and Shamu in the next season.

I think you mean EU2. There are plenty of reasons to be on languish and not have played the latter. Just look at that map. :x

I just skim his endless descriptions.

I think I've seen every episode so far.

That's getting into the book.

I take that back.  I definitely missed the episode in which cripple boy and The Eyebrows of the Northern Wilds met up with the hallucination kid and his sister.
