Invisible - the question of whether to read or not is very dependent on your preferences. I usually don't mind being spoiled about anything; I find the anticipation of good lines and clever plot points adds more to my enjoyment than the loss of surpise detracts. At the extreme opposite end of spectrum, some people don't even like to know the cast in advance. Wonderfalls is always full of clever lines and plot twists. There is always the question of how a strange or even apparently evil action will ultimately work out for the best. And lot's of people who turn out to different that you expect or to do stuff you don't expect and then end up having it be completely in character.
You have to decide for yourself what reading about these in advance will do to your enjoyment. You may want to consider that if DVDs ever do come out, it will be a fair amount of time.

And a given person's response to being spoiled can differ widely depending on the show. I had a "spoil me and die screaming!" policy for Buffy, but I got to third base with Angel spoilers (everything but the finale), and what I've read ahead on Wonderfalls only makes me want to see it more.
Does anyone know whether "Lying Pig" is the last of the 13 episodes? Is that end moment the one Tim keeps mentioning where Caroline's face will break your heart? The NYTimes interview he did seems to indicate that, but maybe not?
that is just episode 9, where you know who gets married (or not)

That's what I thought ... but I can't imagine a more heartbreaking moment than how that one ends. Yeesh, what MORE did they do to poor Jaye??
Oh, and in regard to leisure reading - can we take a moment to say SHRIFT ROCKS!
Aww. Thanks, Typo Boy.
And I'll get all of the current available scripts up as soon as I can. Which isn't as soon as I'd like, what with my current 'overtime every week' job sitch.
And as for more episode scripts, I know people are working on it. Whether it actually happens is iffy. But if it does, I'll put 'em up.
Thanks, all! I think I'll wait for now.
So having read all nine scripts, where can I start my blood spattered crusade of vengeful violence?

I haven't read any of the unaired scripts yet. Would you guys recommend reading them now, or waiting for the actually eps to come available. (Which they MUST eventually...Wonderfalls isn't ranked 25th at TVShowsOnDVD.com for nuthin').
It depends on how much foreknowledge actually spoils you, I think. I can know things and enjoy a story anyhow. Also? I do think it'll be a long time before we get to see these episodes. I do not expect The WB, or any other network to pick up the show. I would think the DVDs would take (at the very least) close to a year. If you read them all in one swoop now, will you honestly retain enough, that you won't be able to enjoy the experience of watching them on your TV? I think these are the questions that have to go into the decision.

I was sure I would stay away from the scripts. I just finished Muffin Buffalo and read Crime Dog last night. It only makes me want to see the episodes more. I just have to see that seen where Fat Pat is in the trailer under the covers waiting for Jaye. Its just has to happen. I hope the DVDs come out around Christmas. I could handle that. These stories NEED to be told.
