I’m finally catching up on Season 3 of Game of Thrones. Loyally devoted to the TV adaptation (yeah, yeah, I’m sure the books are better…), this has been the best season so far. My wife and I are absolutely enthralled.
Especially by that Daenerys Stormborn. Seriously. She’s amazing. I love her. She’s not to be trifled with. I would be a former slave-turned loyal-soldier for the Mother of Dragons any day. Dracarys. Indeed.
And since the fire that is Game of Thrones has been rekindled these past days, I find this story (from IO9) about a French math teacher using GOT spoilers as punishment to be particularly potent. I’ll behave from now on, sir.
According to Belgium’s Nieuwsblad, the teacher, at wits end with his noisy class, asked which of his students watched Game of Thrones. Around three quarters of the students raised their hands. “Well, I’ve read all the books,” the teacher replied. “If there’s too much noise, I will write the names of the dead on the board. They are enough to fill the whole year and I can even describe how they die.”…
This resulted in what one student described as “a religious silence” for the rest of the lesson.
I’ve managed keep full radio silence regarding the plot of Game of Thrones thus far. And given the internet bomb set off by an episode fast approaching (I heard the echo of the blast, but not the content, thankfully), I’m particularly concerned about keeping things quiet. At least for one or two more days.
So, no spoilers, please. I promise I’ll be good.
Hilarious.
A very impressive threat. Kudos to the teacher
