How will this work?

Can we have

1. Episode thread (have not read the books)
2. Episode thread (have read the books)
3. Future speculation (have not read the books)
4. Future musings (have read the books)

Roar

probably a good idea to start every thread title with either [BOOKS] or [TV]

I think those 2 are a great idea.

Possibly even have a spoiler tag in there on the read the books thread because people are nosey and will come into see what it's about then BANG, massive spoiler

There'd be little point in differentiating between 'have read the books' and 'haven't read the books' threads if SPOILER tags are used too.
I say "Tough Titty" to anyone getting spoiled by reading a thread that clearly states in the title that it contains spoilers.

^ I agree.

Delighted we finally have this forum.

id say once a section of the book has been done in the show it shouldnt matter if theres spoilers as its happened in both the book and series,

ther no way to avoid talk of the books in here and anyone watching the series but has not read the book will just have to understand that really, i havent read the books yet, but i expect to be hearing small comparisons here,

now if the series deviates massively from the book i think fair warning should be given,

Well due to the funny timeline in the books I read that over the coming seasons they may swap a few bits around like instead of devoting a season to each book it might be a book and a bit. Or that it might be leave a bit out of one book and come back to it later. Dunno if this will be the case for season 2 as I think the 2nd book had a normal timeline IIRC

Anachrony

From what I've heard, some bits of book 2 may be pushed back to season 3, and some bits of book 3 may be pushed up to season 2. There are lots of parallel plotlines with characters spread all over the map, so the relative time for each strand of the story can be a bit fuzzy.

I think Des' idea is the best. 4 separate threads with easy to follow guidelines. No harm in it and makes it ultra safe for those who have not read the books.

Might be an idea to get a thread tagging system.

One for HAVE READ and one for HAVEN'T READ.

That way you can tag the threads up when they are being created and people will notcie the colour coding easier?
