If, like me, you're on tape-delay for the last two or three weeks of 24, you don't want to know either what's revealed in the article or the excerpt.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you're on tape delay, NAFDA threads are going to be dangerous places to be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, I saw "Strange World". Of course, I don't remember most of the details, but I watched it just for you, Tim.

What is even happening?
That article (and that excerpt) is pretty profoundly spoilery.
About future episodes? The excerpt doesn't look spoilery to me for anything that hasn't happened yet.

I think the rules are ambiguous in a thread like this (or Bitches), that is NAFDA but not tied to any specific show.
From the FAQ
Q. NAFDA? Is that an international Buffista treaty?
A. Ummm..... No. It's the North American Free Discussion Area. We have many posters who aren't from North America and are therefore half a season or more behind. In order to keep them unspoiled, we limit discussion of current episodes to specific threads. These are the NAFDA threads. If it's not labeled as a NAFDA thread, don't talk about current episodes in it. We also ask that you don't discuss one show's current season in another show's topic without whitefont, because some people are on tape delay. This means that events from the current season of Buffy should be whitefonted in the Angel topic and vice versa.

So I deserve to be spoiled for *all* character deaths in all shows in any NAFDA thread?

I added a warning. I apologize for not making the spoilery nature of the article more clear.

At the risk of violating the spoiler policy I heard a rumor that Minearverse 5 will have widespread carnage.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Looks like Minearverse 4 is gonna have a spoiler smackdown.

The conversation of this thread has ranged past Tim-involved shows for a long time now. I thought it unsurprising to see current season discussion of shows outside his 'verse and am pretty sure it's happened before--it's more like the way Bitches is NAFDA than the Lost thread.
I'm not sure where you're going with the deserve to be spoiled thing (people who read that chick's column didn't deserve to be spoiled, because details of a TV show aren't things one deserves, in my book), bon, but you've been lucky up until now.
