I can't believe Jon Snow dies in the Game of Thrones season 3 opener!

[Jasep]

None of this changes the fact that the OP is a giant, gaping asshole (if the title is true) and that this thread title should have been changed hours ago.

If it's not true I have to give him props for starting all this hoopla. Thread title should still be changed though.

Very unlikely to be true, unless the tv series deviates tremendously from the books.

********SPOILER***************









































Many known characters will die, but I wouldn't worry about Jon Snow.

however..... sick spoiler....

 

His whore step mother and his lame ass brother both die

I said I'm not going to make rules about spoilers, but I will make one rule about the spoiler tag.

Do not remove the spoiler tag when quoting people so it's no longer a spoiler.

I just deleted a post that did that.

Is it still acceptable as a thread title? The book is 11 years old, after all.

Unfortunately I read it before you got rid of it. Unlike some people here, I was able to not click on the spoiler post, only to see it in the very next one.

Not cool, srsly.

Why the sudden change of heart, Willie? I thought you didn't care about spoilers.

srslysirius has no problem trying to fuck up cmoney's wormhole BUT HOW DARE YOU POST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED ON A SHOW OVER A YEAR AGO

The whole spoiler panic is stupid because the guy who started the whole thing about Boardwalk didn't seem to be intentionally spoiling anything. He was just making a thread about a show from a year ago, and clearly didn't expect the resulting brouhaha.

So in general, my position is this:

- I am leaving it up to the user to see if he feels it's necessary to put a spoiler tag, but am suggesting that they err on the side of using the tag.

- I do not want to see people intentionally posting spoilers just to be assholes.

- I especially don't want to see people undoing others' spoiler tags by quoting them and removing the tags, or by reposting normally what other people put as spoilers.


BOTTOM LINE: Don't intentionally be an asshole about spoilers, and it will all turn out fine.

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT PLOT DIVERGENCES BETWEEN THE COMICS/BOOKS AND THE TV SHOWS?

and do you not understand the difference between posting something to create a discussion and posting something to be an asshole?

and there is a huge difference between something that was aired a year ago and something has yet to be shown

[SrslySirius]

Since the Boardwalk thread was posted, several other spoilers have been posted, all with the sole intent of being an asshole. People only seem to care about the ones that affect them, though.

The point I was trying to make, which I made in a very immature fashion (I'm sorry Vegas), was that spoiling TV shows, movies and books is a shitty thing do; regardless of intent or age of the medium. I don't know if the OP of the Jimmy thread was being a dick on purpose, but it shouldn't be there either way. I'm not going to start a thread about Song of Ice and Fire with a provocative title, but I'm sure if someone did (even with innocent intentions), that lots of people would be upset despite the fact that it's quite an old book.

Trolls like azzclown will say to use the internet at your own risk, or that PFA is the domain of assholes anyway. It doesn't have to be that way. We could all just be courteous, keep spoilers out of thread titles, and use spoiler tags when appropriate. Is that so hard to do?

I didn't see any other serious spoilers being posted.

All of the spoilers posted since the Boardwalk one were intentionally ridiculous. Can you point me to a real spoiler posted, other than the (probably) fake one here and the one you re-posted?

I mean, even I got in on the action, posting a "spoiler" that Dorothy was really dreaming in the Wizard of Oz. Is that the type of stuff you're referring to?

Off the top of my head, there was a possible Breaking Bad one in the Jimmy thread. I can't say for sure, as I haven't finished watching the most recent season.

Fuck OP and nap it oot Barry.

Happy trolling faglicks.

[4Dragons]

You fucking faggots. See how you like that shit.

YOU KNOW NOTHING JON SNOW

Apparently I get the last laugh because I didn't watch the rest of this series until it was months after seeing any spoilers, so I forgot them all. hmeh.

[ErickAA]

This is not really a spoiler, because it has not been revealed one way or the other in either the books or the TV show and is pure conjecture, but I do not think Jon Snow is Eddards son. I think he is really:

 

The bastard son of the Taragean prince (forgot his name) who was killed by Robert when Robert took the throne and Eddard's sister (forgot her name too). This also theoretically means Jon could become a dragon rider at some point in the future

This is common knowledge among book readers my friend

warning: this spoiler goes all the way to the end of the 5th book

 

one of the things that got me was the description of snow getting stabbed, they said that steam rose from his wounds. seemed like a small thing but a lot of people are latching in to it as the whole dragon reborn thing. That coupled with the fact that it actually doesn't say he dies and the goodness of Ned who did not agree with the killing of children etc leads me to believe that jon snow is the targarean prince's son.

I could see ned just taking the boy and saying it was his own son in order to protect his life. Ned Stark besmirching his own honor would be unthinkable for any other reason. Imagine keeping the real reason secret from your own wife and having to tell her it was your own bastard son, knowing all of the strain it would cause your marriage.

If it was really his bastard son he could have just kept the boy somewhere else right, also keeping the secret from his wife. But no, he specifically took the baby boy home with him because he wanted everyone to know (or think) that it was his bastard son. What better protection (at the time anyways) would any boy have than being the son of the warden of the north? Probably none, I mean the dude is a made man and shit, the best insurance policy is passing Jon off as his own. But if he does so he needs to ensure that the lie is 100% believed by everyone which is why he lied to his own wife, shit, the wrong person finds out and it would be their heads on a stick.

I think the conversation between Jon and Ned regarding Jon's mother that never happened would have touched on a great deal of this. I don't know if Ned would have actually told him the truth or kept it going though.
