williamjm Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I always thought Easter Eggs = little in-jokes or nods that didn't really have anything to do with the plot and would only be picked up on by careful viewers/readers/gamers who were in on the joke. From Tormund's descriptions of the Lo9, what Goodkind fans are calling Easter Eggs is apparently The Plot. If you remove them from the book, you're left with no plot. Ergo, not Easter Eggs.Maybe to the Yeardites the Plot can be an Easter Egg because they're not reading the book for Plot, they're reading for the Important Human Themes? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an allegory or parable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 LEMMING ALERT!There's a new boarder called John Galt, who apparently loves the Sword of Truth series so may well stop by here (he has Kahlan as his av). This is just a friendly warning to PLAY NICE. I don't normally pull rank, but am doing so now. :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more fun to draw the Yeardites into a real conversation than to start a flame war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I try to play nice, but if the touched by Tairy is exceptionally stupid/rude/preaching I'll let my inner troll climb out from that ugly bridge of my soul and rip the asshole to shreds.

It's much more fun to draw the Yeardites into a real conversation than to start a flame war.Agreed. But if they're looking for the Easter Eggs during the debates, then it's hard to move the conversation forward... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Will Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Who is John Galt?I was going to answer this question, and then I realise that the question itself indicate that you already know the answer. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzanth Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 A better question for the moment might be where is John Galt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pita Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 And does he know he's in Lemming HQ here?And can we re-activate GIOG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadaad Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I did it. I read the whole thing. Front to back.I'm wondering if the easter eggs they're talking about are things like Orden, Nebraska and the Daggett Trust or whatever they were called.Things there were: Bull necks, a broken jaw, broken necks ("He didn't want to get his neck broken...", "He wanted to break their necks..."), slit throats, superhuman feats of pain tolerance, thorazine, a Jeep that has a plot-sensitive starter, special smiles only for him, misunderstandings with a beautiful woman with long hair (except it's blonde, this time!), a grandfather who was more than he seemed (though this one expires fairly early on), obvious (painfully obvious) lines between Radell Cain and Barack Obama, deus ex machina ("how did you figure out how to work the magic thingy?" "I'm an artist."), big, invincible buddies (Hal Halverson, at your service), someone who's drop-dead gorgeous, but completely hideous to the protagonist because of her personality.I don't think I've ever heard anyone raving against technology the way that Alex mentions. But it's funny, because he disdains the technology on his mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 So Buffy and Angel's Charisma Carpenter is playing a Mord Sith in the Season 2 premiere of Legend of the Seeker.As viewer-grabbing casting choices go, that works pretty well.

Arthmail Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I always thought an easter egg was something that you actively had to look for, not something that is spit into your face. Charisma Carpenter started believing in all her own hype back in the day, and look at her now. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrigan Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Easter eggs are House Jordayne of the Tor, and Elias and Josua in ASoIaF. Obviously Tairites are too stupid to tell the difference. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

respectabull Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 You guys missed the point of it all! I haven't posted in a while but I keep track of my fellow lemmings. The Easter eggs are not Easter eggs!! in fact, they are "Easter eggs that aren't Easter eggs". It is what they are. Why must Tairy make easter eggs that aren't easter eggs? So they can hatch the offspring of the Evil Chicken that is not a Chicken. Run to the caves and hide! You have invoked the chicken and now you die.
