Or do the books trump the TV show because they were first? What about if the TV show overtakes the books? What about people who are watching the TV show but plan to read the books at some point?
Well labelled spoilers and using your brain when reading them avoid all the above issues. Common sense? Too much to ask, I suppose, from most.
Given how problematic it is, I'm half-seriously considering banning the entire thing outright, or requesting it get it's own goddamn subforum because seriously, is staying on fucking topic too goddamn hard for you people?
Is it text-onna-page? Talk about it here.
Is it movin'-pictures-onna-screen? Talk about it in the other thread.
Did they do something different on one than they did in the other? I guess you'd talk about it in the TV thread as that's where it'd be different. But there's no reason to continue the conversation beyond "Oh, weird, Smashburger killed Dopenmeier at the Battle of Flan, but the show has him killing him two fights earlier, at the Quiznos Conflict. Wonder why?"
I'm really considering just mashing both threads together, setting the entire thing on fire, and letting it sink in the swamp.
