[book spoilers]What your non-reader friends/family thought and their predictions.

Yeah like other people on this thread, I have a friend who loves Dany (though she found the S3 ending cheesy) and believes and that by the next 2 seasons, she'll arrive in Westeros and have her dragons burn Joffery, then take the IT, go north and battle the White Walkers. Oh, and (for some reason) she'll help the Starks get their revenge... I don't know why she thinks that (other then the fact that the Starks are also some of her favourites)

Did you explain to her that the Starks helped depose her family? Why would she help them?

Whenever I bring it up, she tells me that she believes Jon and Dany will have some sort of "connection" (since she's found out about R+L=J) that will somehow amend that animosity between them...

:dunno: the Starks and Daenerys are her main favourites and I think she really doesn't want them to hate or fight each other 'til the end.

It's a shame when non-readers spoil themselves. My best friend doesn't care about spoilers: in fact, he loves them; but I try to keep him unsullied because I want to hear his genuine reactions, and get to comment them with you :rolleyes: My best friend has read that Jon dies (I explained that many people think he will live in the end, though) and yesterday I accidentally said in front of him that Joffrey dies. He kept asking and asking about the details of his death, but I manages to make him believe that it won't be until season 5 or 6, and that even the readers don't know who killed him yet.

I read GoT years before the series came out. My fiance hinted that he could do without my exposition unless asked, so I kept mum. I have a very bad habit of explaining things during movies or TV.



For season 2, I had not read CoK so I had nothing to go on.



Lo and behold, the library had ASOS as we bought Season 3. So I "leap-frogged" the book and TV season (getting ahead in the book, watching a bunch of episodes, read book get ahead, watch more episodes). I kept my mouth quiet for most of that season, although elaborated if he needed it. Ex. during the Red Wedding, I told fiance that it it was really a Frey grandson and not a young wife that Catelyn had her blade to.



Even though my fiance was reluctant to watch the series (South Park's "floppy weiner" chorus had convinced him that it was a series of gay porn with swords and zombies), he finally gave in. Now he loves it, though he's not much of a book reader. He works nights and apparently has a lot of time to think at work, because he keeps coming home in the morning, romantically crawling into bed and then, "Hey, sweetie. What's the name of the guy with one hand? Jaime? OK, I think that Jaime is going to realize that his son is a jerk and going to kill him and then make his dwarf brother king."



This morning:



That boy that can control wolves and stuff, I think that's he's going to find that he can control the dead people. When the white haired girl comes in with her dragons, he's actually going to use the dead people to defend the land from her and the dragons. Jon Snow is going to get hurt bad in the fighting, but he's going to kill one of the dragons with an arrow right before he dies.



That was paraphrased (and he's sleeping right now so I can't ask him to elaborate without getting yelled at in the meantime). There was actually more to it and it actually sounded fairly interesting.

My partner loves Brienne and was really happy when Jaime saved her for the bear.



When they finally got to King's Landing he was sad because he thought that would be the end for her character. I told him "no she has a lot more to happen to her" and he just said "oh no, please tell me she doesn't die!".



I reassured him that so far in the books she hasn't died, but there's still 2-3 books to go.



He said "oh fuck".



Incidentally, he seems to know when we're about to have a sexposition and just groans and says "here come the tits!"



He also thought Ramsay's pork sausage was the funniest thing ever. I had to rewind the scene THREE TIMES because he couldn't stop laughing and was missing what wassaid afterwards.

My boyfriend runs into the other room when Loras gets busy with anyone.



Although, my extremely homophobic brother encouraged him to give the series a try. My bro bought us Season 1 & 2 on DVD for a Christmas present. I remember being drunk at the family New Year's party and telling him, "Look, if my brother can watch naked men make out, so can you!"



What's funny is that he likes Jaime as a character but can never remember his name. And he always refers to Ned as Boromir. What makes it even weirder is that his horse is named Boromir. I joked that we should change the horse's name to Ned.
