Oof.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We're debating the definition of "Serenity spoiler" in the Firefly thread.
The current bullshit consensus is that casting info that doesn't mention anyone who appeared on the TV show (outside of the regulars) isn't actually a spoiler. As long as roles aren't being mentioned.
Sound kosher?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sounds kosher to me.

Woah. Spoiler policyish discussion, and I think I actually understood it. Huh. I must be growing ... accustomed.
And, yes, it sounds kosher to me, is my actual point.

Saturday's the deadest day of the week, so even though we're all COMPLETELY RIGHT, it might be best (for appearance's sake) to wait a couple days before going wild and crazy and changing thread descriptions.
Or anything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's nice when the power-mad still maintain the appearance of propriety.

What is even happening?

I need an example of what this can entail. Is it a casting spoiler if someone who did not appear, is going to be in the film? Like say Cameron Diaz got a role in the film--is that a casting spoiler? Is it okay to say she's going to be in it, but (I figure) not okay to say who she'll be playing (because that would require 'splaining, and 'splaining gives away plot)?
Also, this means the regulars aren't casting spoilers, right? Are the regular characters defined as: Zoe, Wash, Cap'n Tightpants, Jayne, River, Simon, Inara, Book, and Kaylee? What about recurring characters?
(For the record, I'm not going to argue any casting spoilers. I just don't want to break the b.s. consensus, by accident.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Cindy, you've got it right. Cameron Diaz is fine, Zoe is fine, and recurring characters are the ones for which casting is a spoiler.

Trust my rage
I already posted my support for what ita said over in the thread, but thought I'd add to the B.C. over here.
