btw, the speculation on TVWOP can be really good, but the general tone over there is unbelievably annoying. I don't mind all the "Shirtless Gendry, oh my!!!" comments, that's cool... but the complaints about violence/rape/w/e are just absurd. It's a feudal fantasy world. Raping and pillaging and sadistic boy kings are par for the course. If it really bothers you that much, you can go watch Camelot on Showtime (I think it was canceled). I'm sure it's a lot more family friendly.. and also a lot shittier of a show.
Another example: they all seem to think that the four man ranger black ops squad is a horrible idea. No real explanation is given nor asked for when people say this. I really can't figure out why they think it's a bad idea. It's like they are really good at reverse engineering fiction, yet they are really bad at understanding general concepts about warfare and whatnot.
I think Cat is way more implicated than Brienne anyways. But yeah, I assume there's more in the book as well
As for TWoP, I agree. That thread is hard as shit to read. It's pretty much because they're mostly women (mothers). You find them get really uptight when characters like Jon Snow are put into scenarios where they could get hurt
I honestly haven't even read much of that thread for season 2, but did a lot for season 1. It's hard enough to go through reading single lines on 2p2. It's gonna sound hypocritical, but I don't wanna read their essays
Also, I was turned off a wee bit from that thread last season due to some of their speculations being really spot on, so I felt a little spoiled when they happened. Similar happened on 2p2 about the last few eps of Breaking Bad. Not a BB thread, so not talking about that, but 2p2 did get some legit speculations right, and since I sorta expected them to happen, when they did, I was kinda meh about it all
BTW, to be clear, I'm pretty sure the reason they don't like the 4 man black ops is cuz theyre mothers and dont want Jonny to get hurt. They talked all about that stuff last season, so it's probably implied by now.
