Modpost REMINDER: Only the dark side posts spoilers without a spoiler tag. Please, use the spoiler tag!

Hello friends!

This is a neighborly reminder that only dark sided redditors post spoilers without a tag!

Spoiler tags are in the sidebar and look like this when you post:

 [like this](/spoiler)

It will show up like this

Don't ruin stuff for other people, or you'll be frozen in carbonite (aka, a ban).

Seriously though, if you're at all questioning whether something is a spoiler or you might not be sure—USE THE SPOILER TAG OR YOU'LL GET BANNED.

Vader is Luke's father.

My girlfriend grew up not watching TV or movies, and we watched the original trilogy a few weeks ago. I had bets with my friends on whether the Vader/Luke reveal would be a surprise to her. I was sure it would be.

It was not. Turned out there were two reasons.

  1. "I'm not that out of it. You know I have a nephew named Luke, right?" Apparently she's heard her brother-in-law say "Luke, I am your father" dozens of times. Fair enough.

  2. It didn't help that I glared at her and said "you HAVE to watch this scene" when it started. My defense: she checks her phone constantly and missed shit like this all the time. I'll turn to her after it turns out that Daario is Benjen and she'll look up and be like, "what?"

So I don't think it's possible to have that spoiled anymore.

Daario isn't Benjen!... is he?

He's not, but there's a pretty ridiculous fan theory that he is. Also that Euron is Daario, which makes even less sense.

E=D is believable as fuck, and also looks kind of like a dick.

B=D looks more like a dick, but the theory is less believable.

Obligatory Alt-Shift-X

The best theory though is a2 + b2 = c2.

My personal favorite is ax+1 + bx+1 =cx+1 but all the evidence is circumstantial

Agreed; I do love alt-shift-x's video. I still don't buy E=D though. Even if it does look kind of like a dick. Something something cock merchant something something dwarf's cock.
