I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Okay, I've got a question: where are our OZ viewers at?

Last year, I know that what we could say where went by what they had seen. I'm wondering if we still need to whitefont Principal Hottie because I'm pretty certain they've now seen the first eps of S7.

I think they just started Season 7 - maybe one or two eps in? Which would mean PH, though not his history, is fair game.

edited, because spoiler font is much less effective when you mix it up with italics.

Speaking of whitefonting, I've noticed several oblique spoilers for the new seasons that aren't getting called out. An example would be Schmoker making a play on the phrase "First Evil" at the beginning of the new Angel thread .

I hate to say anything about it when it happens, since I usually only notice them hours after they've been posted, and I don't want to have dozens of people reading my complaint and retroactively thinking, "Oh, that's what that meant? Dammit."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

This happens ALL THE TIME, probably a little more than you realize (although now that it's pointed out to you, you'll catch it a lot.)

I think about whiting stuff out and such, but usually it's just more effective to not draw attention.

I'm safe. I can barely remember what I wrote two posts ago.

If I inadvertenly posted something that spoiled, please feel free to white it out. I didn't mean to.

What did I say?

Aussies have just seen episode 1 in both Buffy S7 and Angel S4.

Perhaps we should have an "Aussie counter" (or a "Backward Antipodean Counter") somewhere on the site so people don't have to keep asking. Low priority feature request?

It was nothing, really. You just mentioned something or other from Buffy in the Angel thread (or maybe it was vice versa--I've honestly forgotten.) There's an ongoing debate about the Buffy and Angel threads being exclusively spoiler-free for each other, which I think is fine, to a point, although I'm not overly fond of the idea myself.

I ital'd most of the show titles in the thread slugs. If ya'll hate it or if I just single-handedly destroyed the functionality of the board, ya'll should let me know.
