Maybe Charlie kills Ethan?

Charlie kills Ethan at the end of Homecoming. It's surprising only because nobody expected him to be there with a gun at the time, and also because they thought that everyone understood and agreed with the plan to capture and question him.

awesome. well, there you go.

I'm avoiding the Lost spoilage, although I'm not sure why. I have a question, and am not sure where to ask it.

If a person of-potential-interest-to-Buffistas had been reportedly cast in a series that has not yet premiered, and there were now rumors that the person of-interest-to-Buffistas was now reportedly out of the series that still has not yet premiered, is that a safe topic for the non-spoiler threads?

I'm asking, because reportedly Alyson Hannigan is out of the new Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle and has been replaced by Sara Gilbert. I asked about the rumor itself in spoilage lite, but now I've found independent confirmation, and wanted to mention it in the Buffy thread. Then I felt uncertain of the rules. It seems to me that it would be safe (spoiler-wise), but there's been other information that has seemed safe to me, and just hasn't been.

I can't imagine how casting for a show that's never aired could ruffle feathers. But the universe is infinite.

Huh. Well that would certainly dovetail nicely with the rumors that AH was going to have a multi-episode run on Veronica Mars.

Cindy, was it ever mentioned in the Buffy thread that AH was going to be on the show in the first place? If so, then I don't see a problem saying that she's not going to be on the show after all. OTOH, if it was never mentioned, and she's not going to be it the new show anyway, there's probably no need to bring it up.

Ah, but it has in the past, because saying that so-and-so was cast in a show meant that he/she was less likely to ever appear in a theoretical Buffyverse spinoff/TV movie/infomercial at some undefined point in the future, and some people didn't want to know that *maybe* Xander wouldn't be able to appear in a show that didn't yet exist.

Don't make me Nilly the kerfluffle, because it made my head hurt.

Didn't we kill all the enemy combatants in that one?

I think we won't be truly safe until we kill all the ME actors.

IIRC, "negative spoilers" were the very bread-and-butter of the spoiler-definition vote a year and a half ago. Complaint about negative spoilers in NAFDA threads was what got the ball rolling for the now-official rule that summer main-credits casting could not be considered a spoiler.

So, negatively spoil all you like. Vincent Price is dead; therefore, he will not be guest-starring on Veronica Mars.
