that doesn't make any sense pete. did you mean to write "if you wanted foreshadowing you should've read the fucking books before watching the tv series so you could have sanctimoniously gone on and on about how much better the books are than the tv series?" i think that's what you meant.

I picture you saying that.

Oh man you're in for a treat. They never let up with that stuff. You're gonna find so much more the second time through. It's great.

i can't wait friend. the problem is my wife is way smarter than me (which isn't saying much) and she figures shit without the clues. it took her 1 second to figure out jon arryn was murdered because he found out about jaime and cersei.

i should've worded that differently. it took my wife about 1 second to figure out what the viewer will be led to believe by the end of the first season.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
