I am against a Dollhouse thread until the show airs, but:
Even if we did have a thread for it, spoiler rules would be such that cast and basic premise would be just about all we could talk about in-thread, until like August.
Wait, so here you strongly care about spoiler rules, but for gamers who don't want to be spoiled for comics, or people who want to talk about BSG without getting spoiled for Stargate, need to just get over it?
Sean, I think they're two different issues. Notably, I don't have a strong opinion on the idea of using Other Media for gaming, and the spoiler issues that might cause, because I'm not well-informed enough (not being subscribed to the thread).
And I think you're being dramatic and it feels like you are attempting to score points off me. And I wish you'd quit it.
re: Dollhouse - I think we should not think about it until we have the Fox schedule in hand. We could vote for a Dollhouse thread - have it in place and then discover that it won't even air 'til January.
Sean, I think they're two different issues.
They are. One is about being spoiled for the topic of the thread, and one is about being spoiled for other stuff.
Other Media tends to be whitefonted so I have no problem going in there if I am not up-to-fate on the latest issue (although I do find the white font so tempty, I tend to stay away until I'm caught up).
edit to say: not here. I'm leaving the typo in 'cause it's funny.
And I think you're being dramatic and it feels like you are attempting to score points off me. And I wish you'd quit it.
I was attempting to point out what I see as a massive inconsistency in your position.
Your response is to call me dramatic, and tell me you wish I would quit. That's a gross mischaracterization of my post, and a very dismissive attempt to ignore my question.
This is what I was wondering, too. It seems way too early for a dedicated thread.
Way too early, IMO.
It seems way too early for a dedicated thread.I agree.

As mentioned, these are two different issues, entirely.
One is about our standing rules for television spoilers, and one is about time-shifted viewers or delayed readers getting spoiled in a thread where talk about already-aired or already-released episodes or issues is acceptable by the pre-existing rules.

I'm not seeing how there is a massive inconsistency, considering it's apples to oranges.
I'm going to retable DH discussion when gaming is done.
