the thought makes me twitch and cower under my desk in terror
The thought of full episodes "broadcast" online, or the thought of having another What Is A Spoiler discussion?
'Cause...yeah. But it's coming.

'The Message'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The new episodes are only available at Noon Eastern on Friday. Then they disappear.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Deus ex Machina, and I don't think this one can be explained away.
Deus ex Dylana, you mean.
(The premiere isn't available right now, for example. Unless I'm completely blind in which case LINKLINKLINKLINKLINK.)
I'm pretty sure it is, as someone on my flist watched it. I knew the premiere was going up early, but I didn't know they were going to put all the rest of the episodes up early too.
Ooh, you know what it is? I think they only put it up at noon EST. As in, it was aired online. You have to watch it then as if it were airing on your television and you didn't have TiVo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If it's broadcast (and we can tell the difference) I don't think it's a spoiler. It's akin to being "spoiled" by "next week on Stargate" or the flashes of that episode's scenes that BSG gives you before the ep starts in earnest. Broadcast by the show. Authentic, valid, official.

Exactly - I watched it at 11 am Central - and now it's gone and at the end they said come back at the same time next week for another new episode.

So I could say. . . what I saw an no one here would feel betrayed?

Well, some of us would have to check out of the thread earlier than usual.

Way to suborn bad work habits, Sci-Fi! Also, kind of... isn't that the whole point of internet communication? That it's not time-constrained the same way TV is?
(I do think that a spoiler discussion will need to happen at some point, although putting things online during the work day is about as dirty pool as we can hope to avoid. Only people who have their own offices will be able to watch "realtime"! The peons of cubeland will revolt.)

We had a slow morning here so I could watch it but I can't imagine 10 weeks of slow mornings. . .
Also, I think people who can't see it deserve their 9/10 hours of speculation. (According to the Galactica Watercooler thread - lots of people had trouble with the feed. . . my main problem with it was that the sound was sucky.)

BTW, I'm shocked that no one is white-fonting about the new Doctor Who. Isn't it up at the usual places yet?
I mean, it airs tomorrow, right?
