After the first flash, I studiously avoided looking at them, and *it was HARD!* I sort of resent them, to the point that I may stop watching the reruns. They gave away some plot points for S4 in the first one, or appeared to, anyway.

I hadn't really considered the "aired" criterion applying to network crawls and flashes, but of course it would, duh. I don't mind casting spoilers so much, but I'd reeeeeealy rather not be spoiled for storylines and plot. Let me know if you guys want to discuss more than casting, and I'll unsubscribe.

We've talked about promos before, but that was when we made the assumption that everyone was watching along.

Since not everyone is probably picking up the reruns (I know I'm not), maybe if people want to talk about it they can do so in whitefont? Like the Boxed Set folks do with the "advance copies" of Doctor Who?

That would work for me.

Okay - well, one think I would like to know that wasn't mentioned in the TWOP posts - are they saying September 18th or October 2nd as the premiere date?

I need to record next week's episode.

Also I'm very excited that (this was on the crawl) they are doing a Halloween episode. I realize it may hit some of the same sorespots as MM did. Perhaps they'll do a better job ?

And the casting news. Was v. exciting.

The episode of Tru Calling with JDM is airing on Scifi at 9 am central on July 25th. (I think he plays a firefighter.)

The Tru Calling ep JDM is in is "Two Pair". His character is named Geoffrey Pine. That ep airs at 10:00AM eastern, Friday, 7/25.

Alerted to set the dvr by Sumi, I double checked his appearance at IMDb, so thanks, Sumi!

Oh, that's one of the good episodes!

It's been confirmed that the season 4 premiere date is September 18th. (It was announced at TCA.)

Okay, I saw they were doing those promotional information thingies at the bottom of the screen, but since I never watch commercials I kept returning my attention to the screen just in time to see them flash off. So I would only catch a few words at a time. I managed to miss any kind of casting spoiler, and now this is going to drive me crazy. Could some kind soul please white font the information for those of us who would like to know?

Spoilery stuff: Mitch Pileggi as the boys' grandfather, somehow Hendricks, Meg and uh, somebody else dead who I've forgotten are coming back.

There you go.
