I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

speaking of Spoilers...what's the hot topic(s) lately?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It certainly could be in Spoilers, except that spoilers for everything are in there, and some people are very spoiler-averse. I'm a spoiler whore, myself, but I do understand that there are more delicate sensibilities out there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yes. Spoilers, which are anything unaired in the US, belong in the spoiler thread.

But they're spoilers, so where else would they go?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

There's going to be plenty of promos, interviews etc on the run up to launch though.

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

There's going to be plenty of promos, interviews etc on the run up to launch though.

Formally, aired-on-TV promos and cast list (and, I guess, premise) are legit material. Interviews, photo spreads, hinty discussion, etc. are still spoilers (some may be Lite spoilers). Until the show gets on the schedule, there shouldn't be much to talk about that isn't spoilery.

(FWIW, Spoilers hasn't had much discussion in it recently, just guest stars and episode titles. It should be possible to jump to the last post in the thread and start a new topic without too much intentional blindness.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't have an issue with opening a DH thread, but shouldn't we put it off until we actually have something concrete to discuss?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I don't have an issue with opening a DH thread, but shouldn't we put it off until we actually have something concrete to discuss?

I totally read this as meaning a "dear husband" thread (despite knowing what the conversation was about). I've DEFINITELY been around here too long.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I read it as "Doctor Who". Clearly, I need to learn how to spell.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Isn't Tim part of the Dollhouse team? I'm trying to differentiate between his involvement in it, and in say -- Wonderfalls.

He was an EP on Wonderfalls, and a co-creator, I believe. He was the showrunner, at any rate.

I think that on Dollhouse, he'll have a consulting credit, perhaps, depending on how much time he has after getting the Miracle Man pilot on its feet.

They call each other to say, "what do you think of this?" as friends do, so it's hard to say where the chips fall while I'm standing over here and not over there.
