Here's your first look at season 3:

Awesome.

I want to marry Daenerys

this season could top the first

[hockeysc23]

I hope this season steps it up from Season 2. Since in season 2 they combined both a clash of kings and a storm of swords it should be interesting to see what comes in this season.

Are there going to be spoilers in this thread? Someone should make that call.

[earl]

should be the best season cuz end of book 2 and the entire book 3 is definitely the best part so far in the series.

I think it needs to become forum etiquette that in the event there is a movie/tv series based on printed source material that there's NO talk of the print version in the tv threads. It's perfectly simple to create a book/comic/scroll/stone tablet version thread of the story.

Spoiler... Danaerys is hot

I'm figuring "no spoilers" for it, given the books that have a lot of potential for such, and those are such distracting (or worse) conversations for people who are watching the show but haven't read the books (a majority, usually, in these cases).

So I'm thinking start a separate thread again if you want to discuss book storyline v. the tv show that with like-minded folk (like with WD).

The "no spoilers" approach seems to be the trend across our social landscape in general, and here in particular---note the WD spoiler thread, after all the whining about being able to talk that differences or "what if" comic v. tv stuff, it has been a dead <pun! > thread anyway compared to the TV thread.

Chime in here if ya want with your opinion, while we wait for the new season, but I'm thinking "no spoilers is actually going to be the forum norm given what I've seen and just what makes sense to most people.

That's Mance Rayder right? BTW I've read the books, this season will be very very good. The book is near 1000 pages, I think they are splitting it into two seasons.

[Elessar78]

house rule, no talking of book at all in this thread. There's a GoT book thread.

[Mufumonk]

Hmm...as the thread starter and book reader shouldn't I get to make the call on that one? Bunch of thread hijacking jackals!

Yes, that's Mance Rayder.

Well, mi amigo, in case you're serious, just figure your authority over the thread is officially usurped in this regard. This has always been the case (mod/OP wise) with ES, but it rarely comes up.

Your thread begins it's life with the title about the TV series, and we'll keep it that way since the other thread for the book exists.

I don't think we need any sticky thread in here to make what most folks know and seem to want, and has already in place for while, "official"---that this will be the forum standard.

TV threads will be for the TV show only, with no spoilers or potential spoilers. Separate threads can be stated for people who want to talk the books and the differences between the media. Of course this follows the logical cultural norm where spoilers in any matter are generally not appreciated. This way everyone's offered their choice.

I think that what you propose (and is supported by others), should be ES Law.
