/8lounge/ - The "8" Lounge

You know, I would not be surprised. One thing that really gets me though is how despite Marcella, Tommen, and Joffrey are born of incest, only Joffrey turns out to be an inbred little poppycock. The other two actually seem perfectly normal. Is Joffrey's thing genetically-caused, or did he just one day decide he liked cutting small animals apart and move up to humans a couple years later?

She's not autistic she just noticed a guy that she'd been fantasizing about killing for ages, and part of the reason she went to the house of Black and White was to learn to blend in so she could get a chance at killing people such as him.

I don't think it's so much that it's shock value as opposed to just showing the extremes some characters go to in the world to achieve their ends, whether it be for winning some war or simply to get off. The thing with Trant just seems like something done to help setup how Arya will kill him. I think it's safe to assume she's going to have him in his bed all ready to fuck a kid such as herself and she'll pop over and poke him with her sword. You may remember that she shoved the sword in some rubble next to the house of Black and White, and she'll probably get it out to use for killing Trant, and then be cast out for not having been willing to give up her previous identity as evidenced by her inability to even cast away her possessions.

OYSTERS CLAMS AND COCKLEEEESSSS!

Her voice was like nails on a blackboard.

She's a tomboy, but I very much doubt she's autistic. She looks people in the eye and is way too socially adept. She has no problems with change either.

>Is Arya Stark autistic?

I am autistic, so I'll compare.

>I actually saw a few hints of it in the way she acts throughout seasons 1-4

For season one she is friendly normal and sociable, so far not autistic. In season two she is in survival mode so its harder to judge, but she makes friends quickly, knows when to keep her mouth shut and can read nuances, still not seeming autistic.

>she doesn't make friends well either

As stated before, yes she does. She makes friends while imprissoned, escaping and with multiple captors she has. Shes a savant with making friends.

>she doesn't fit into pre-assigned gender roles

Which has nothing to do with autism. Or are you using the word autism as a broad term like "retard"? Autism is a specific disability/mind set. Autism has nothing to do with not fitting in to gender roles.

> when the thin man asks for oysters, she completely ignores him

like another poster mentioned she's seeing someone she hates and is distracted by that. Its a common way of having a story unfold. Have the character see someone focus on them and zone out on the person they are dealing with. If that was autistic me, I'd not be able to focus on the site of my enimy because I'd be too distracted selling the old man oysters. Shes the opposite of autistic.

damn wrote that comment out and got no responce

am i lame or is /8lounge dead

>>5154

Fellow autist here.

I don't watch much television, so I didn't comment.

Is this show worth watching? My library has the boxed set, so I could get it for free.

>>5155

Yes, if only for the gratuitous violence and sexual content. Actually, truth is they had a cool story up until season 5, at which point widespread popularity caused the producers to pander to public appeal. It's unfortunate, but it's happened with other TV shows, so it shouldn't be surprising. Season 6 will probably be a poppycockshow.

>>5154

8lounge is in a deep coma, so not really dead, but the difference is small.

>>5155

Watch the first season. If you like it you will like the rest.

>>5159

Very deep coma apparently.

>>4680

Yeah it's to the point where the show is way to predictable. Martin's plot is poppycock, although I'm sure his writing masks that in the books.

Like it was so fucking obvious the way Oberyn Martell was going to die, I was willing to bet money on it.

>>5158

I doubt it was cause of public pandering and instead is cause they didn't have more books to lean on story wise.
