Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I can't imagine how casting for a show that's never aired could ruffle feathers.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

This makes me wonder if there are still people out there avoiding all contact with media and other fans so as to avoid spoiling the 8th Season of Buffy that they're sure is going to start airing any day now.

After some of the spoiler wars that have occurred here, I wouldn't be surprised.

Woohoo - someone sumi posted in Spoilers lite that Dennis Haysbert will be back on 24. VERY happy to hear that.

The evil is this way?

There's an 8th season? Excellent! Will Vincent Price be guest-starring?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Guest starring? Who do you think they've hired to replace SMG?

What is even happening?

Woohoo - someone sumi posted in Spoilers lite that Dennis Haysbert will be back on 24. VERY happy to hear that.
AWESOME, because right now? He's doing All-State (or some insurance company) commercials, and they're airing DURING 24, and it bums me out. I don't like the new President. At all. I like the old president. Sorta like real life.

But the universe is infinite.
Yeah, see, this is the thing, in fact now, the theory is not so much about a universe as it is about the multiverse.

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.

I think so, DX. I heard it somewhere here, I'm pretty sure. I'll search the thread and find out. Thanks.

Didn't we kill all the enemy combatants in that one?
I hope not, because I was the one that posted the anti-spoiler in the first place.

There's an 8th season? Excellent! Will Vincent Price be guest-starring?
Yes, but see, he's starring as the even more aged Spike, and Bette Davis will be playing Dru. It's not pretty. We're just crossing our fingers and praying that no shirtlessness will be written in.
