with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I enjoy reading them after the fact as well.

What's the problem, that West Coasters don't want to be spoiled by ongoing East Coaster discussion? Could white font work?

Yeah, I sometimes watch and post, as an East Coaster, but sometimes am tape delayed, but go back and read them anyway, cause it's interesting to see how and what people reacted to...

OTOH, I can see how I would want to watch-and-post as a west coaster, so I don't see why we couldn't have an extra thread--we have a Canadian thread, why not? Though I guess it would be two or THREE extra threads (Angel and Firefly too)? That might get excessive, hmmm....

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

Could white font work?

I think that'd drive you Easties crazy, wouldn't it?

We're just grumpy 'cause we can't play, but I find I'm happy with watch, post, catch up.

So, you get all my unfiltered-unsorted what I thought commentary in a big lump.

I think we're fine as-is, myself.

And I love the watch n' post.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I usually watch and post, but I always go back and read it if I am on tape delay.

White font would drive me crazy, yes. Not so much to read, as I am in Opera, but to remember to do. Also, we might all still be talking WHILE the west coasters are watch and posting, which would be just weird.

I think separate watch and post topics would eventually become duplicate main show topics. It's not like everyone will always just switch to the main show topic for more indepth discussion & analysis after the watching and posting is over.

I like the watch-and-post sections, I just wait till I've seen the episode on tape before I go through it. It's lots of fun to try and figure out what people are watching when.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm willing, as a west-coaster, to live with the fact that I'm never gonna watch-and-post. Of course, I also have the television and the computer in completely separate rooms of the house, so it's not really an option anyway.

Just part of the tax I pay to have mellow mild winters and dry sunny summers. *grin*

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

As a west coaster, I love to read the east coast watch and post, and the other folks who do their "watch and post" all in one post.

I don't often get to watch in the same room as my computer, so watching and posting would be out for me anyway - ok, I guess it would be more of an issue if I was a more prolific poster.

Well - that is my 2 cents as a committed lurker...
