Game of Thrones SHOW thread for people who are confused by the book thread

[puniraptor]

How is speculation fun? The answers are there to be had. "I wonder what 2 + 2 is? I could put in a little work and figure out the answer, but I'm going to go with 8 and we'll figure out if it's right or not when the teacher hands back the exam."

It's pretty much all we do here? How them batcats gonna do? how the roundball cats gonna do? how is daniel sams going to win the heisman? how are the gridiron cats going to bring home the crystal ball?

same thing with this work of fiction, but not comparable to addition.

what if the books never existed? would you be hunting for the leaked screenplays to find out what happens?

DIFFERENT WORLD VIEWS I GUESS

How is speculation fun?

I get what you're saying, but you just asked how is speculation fun on a frickin' message board.

[Benja]

Seemed pretty significant that it was revealed baelish was behind poisoning jon arryn at the beginning of the series, since that is the reason for everything that has happened so far.

holy crap I almost forgot about that.

My point is, speculation, when the answer exists, is a waste.

Speculate all you want about events, fictional and IRL, that have not taken place yet. That's fine. I participate in that activity myself.

The fact is, the answers to these questions that are being asked are out there, but some would rather grasp at straws than actually obtain the answer.

Nothing has been done to refute my claims that you TV show only people are lazy and irrational.

that's fine but the reality is that there's a lot of us on the board that just don't know how to read.  live your life, take things for granted, but never assume that I nor anyone else here can read because that's just a complete bullshit thing to do.

I believe the entertainment from a work of fiction comes from experiencing it, just like most life things. It's not a math problem, or any kind of problem.

oh yeah, also I'm illiterate. Thanks for making me feel like crap about it, MH.

can he warg fish? they would never have to worry about food, he could just warg a fish and have it jump up onto shore and they can chow down

[Benja]

Is there a rule to warging that he has to be a certain distance from the thing he's warging? It seems like kind of a ridiculously powerful skill without a lot of rules.

You're describing a show watcher who takes the product at face value and then drops it until the next episode. An information problem appears once the show watcher starts to ask questions about plot points. Normally, this information problem would exist until a future episode is aired that resolves the issue, but, in this case, the information is already published and readily available for consumption.

I wouldn't criticize anyone for keeping these questions to themselves, as then it is their own personal mystery to solve. I get frustrated when show watchers want to make their musings public and then expect not to get an answer. What's the purpose of asking a question if you don't want the answer?

[Mr Bread]

The show changes things.  Some missing characters, some new characters, some things happening at different times or happening differently altogether.
