Starkiller Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Also depends on the person. Some people do better listening and others do better reading. Also, some people can't absorb the audiobook while they are doing other things like driving or whatever else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 So apparently there's a growing number of casual show watchers who now think Jon is a child of incest from Ned and Lyanna. Mythos27, and Number9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonboy Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Officially 2 more seasons. Sounds like 13-15 episodes. https://www.yahoo.com/news/know-exact-number-game-thrones-175352507.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Previously On is great as well, showing contradictions... but that section immediately after is terrible. So far, I only watch seven minutes. In order to keep myself from dying of laughter, I took a break. Some part of me is afraid to watch more because I thought the show made sense, mostly anyway. I would hate to hear this person tell a four year old the fallacies in the story of the Easter Bunny story or God forbid Santa Claus. People like this are dangerous to the slow witted.

They never mentioned Rhegar in the scene, so I'm sure some people were confused. But that's why they had the previously on scene with Littlefinger and Sansa in the crypts talking about Rhegar and Lyanna. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreepingDeath Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 5 hours ago, Jonboy said: Speaking of audio books...did you guys realize there's apparently a debate about whether you have actually "read" a book when you listen to it? @Number9saying the story is so much different when read made me think of that. What do you guys think? Does listening to an audiobook count as reading it? No. You used a completely different verb. Sure, you consumed it, but you didn't use your eyes to do it. You are also relying on someone else to interject their feelings, accents, whatever when going audible. Is it closer in comparison than a rewritten show? Sure. But reading is reading. Did you listen to a song by looking at the lyrics or sheet music? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
