I think the concern is that someone reading the slug and not knowing that web promos may be considered spoilery may blackfont that information. Since no determination has been reached in thread about their status, it may be prudent to specify promos in the slug as limited to television promos and not other types of promos, like the upn.com online teasers.
Veronica Mars: Annoy, Tiny Blonde One. Annoy Like the Wind.
[NAFDA] Spoiler Policy: Seasons 1-3 and the movie are fair game. Spoiler font two weeks for new content presented all at once (e.g. Season 4 on Hulu is fair game as of Aug. 9, 2019). New content presented as weekly episodes may be discussed with no restrictions as it is released.
Do we consider the upn.com promos spoilery? My personal preference is to have the discussion whitefonted here. If anyone objects it's no biggee to move it to Lite.
My definition of spoilery is information not put out there officially by the network. YSDMV
It must be a little spoilery, or it wouldn't be whitefonted.
Whatever the decision, I think it should be reflected in print somewhere.
Because of the posting of the teaser on the upn site (thereby making it official), I think it would be better, for VM, at least, to say "that which has been aired on the UPN television network", or words to that effect. IOW, I think that the teaser should be spoily/whitefonted until it actually airs.
I, for one, have no problem with it being whitefonted in-thread.
Whew, finally caught up--I'd tivo'd it, as I was out of town, but then (stupid antenna) it was unwatchable, so I had to wait for Saturday night's replay (thank goodness for that!).
I just watched the opening scene (which I kinda think is fair to whitefont, since it's not just flashes of "next week on", it IS next week on! But don't really care if it's not whitefonted, will go with the group). Madness. And fun as it would be, if Veronica is on Logan's jury I WILL throw things at the TV in a fit of "YOU'VE STRETCHED MY DISBELIEF TOO FAR YOU BASTARDS"
Also, as for the pregnancy, don't both the father AND the mother have to terminate parental rights for a baby to get adopted? So even if Meg's parents "make" her sign away hers, can't Duncan in theory stand firm? I mean, not that he necessarily wants to raise the kid (suddenly that whole baby-from-health-class and illegitimate-love-child shtick Veronica was talking to his mom are all more interesting...).
The alternate ending was crazy.
Exactly, meara
They really are 3 interesting takes on having a baby, and I think it's pretty damn clear that none of the (conscious) HS students are at all ready to be a parent, which was probably the point of the fakebaby.
And I'm choosing not to read too much into Hamlet, even though it would be easy to.
meara, re the jury thing, Medium had a similar stunt, and I actually bought it.
Yeah, but, on Medium, she wasn't the defendent.
Yeah, not only was Veronica's best friend killed by Logan's father, (and Keith's career in law enforcement wrecked thereby), but Aaron Echolls also deliberately tried to kill V., and then there's the little matter of V having been intimate with L. The prosecution AND the defense would have a wrestling match to determine who gets to disqualify her the firstest.
I think it is more likely that the case will be her investigation of the week. Instead of being a good girl and only listening to the stuff presented in court she will investigate the issue on her own time. Which of course would result in a mistrial IRL.
