Game of Thrones First Watch Threads

June 17, 2015 12:44 PM

For the past few months I've been posting First Watch with Books Threads for the initial seasons of Game of Thrones. In several weeks, we'll complete season 3. Season 4 threads already exist on FanFare from when they aired live. Should I bother to create new ones, or end at S03E10?

I don't even know if mechanically you can create duplicates (You get some message asking if you've chosen the right episode or something). It probably would make sense for folks engaged in the first watch to simply keep to the same viewing schedule and just start new conversations in the old threads. It might draw back people from before, too, to pick up on the convos, as well.

Yeah I was wondering how this issue was going to be addressed.

You can create duplicates. The First Watch tag is unique, so it would be a second kind of post for most of the 4th season episodes, and a third kind for the fifth season, where we now have 'show only' and 'books included'.

Huh. If nothing else, I always click to read your excellent summaries.

Yes, I'm a non-books guy but during season 5 it was cool to get season 3 plot points refreshed in my mind with the summaries.
