It can be discussed in blackfont in UnAmerican when it airs there, no problem. In Premium when it airs in the US no problem.
Whitefont here if it hasn't aired on basic or whatever cable. But not blackfont here until it's been on Netflix.

'The Girl in Question'
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.

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

Well, it's airing in the UK after it airs here - so not having whitefont could cause issues.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
If the word "premium" is the important part, and Starz is included, can the slug be updated?
Done.

Which is exactly why I'm against it. If it hasn't aired "accessibly" it shouldn't be blackfont here.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I say move it to Premium to not torture us poor folks without cable premium channels.

It really is an unprecedented event in Buffistadom Topic Classification, isn't it? My feeling is that by everything logical, the fourth series should go into Premium, but my emotion says that it belongs here.

Compassionately intolerant
My investment isn't huge in either direction. I'll just be a bit sad looking for Torchwood elsewhere.
No real logic to that I suppose. Though, I'm worried about what it means that the Beeb isn't carrying it anymore. And that it's going to the channel that makes stuff I really don't like. But, that's a conversation for another day and place.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't think we can reasonably expect that every Torchwood fan here is going to subscribe to Starz. Which means either nothing but spoiler font in here, or discussing it in Premium.
Though, I'm worried about what it means that the Beeb isn't carrying it anymore
It means that Starz offered more money. BBCA is part of BBC Worldwide, and as such the channel is legally forbidden under UK law from recieving "dibs" on any BBC content, and must be treated like any other 3rd party broadcaster. (In practice, this does create conflict between the parts of the business who sell BBC content TO 3rd party broadcasters and the parts of the business who ARE 3rd party broadcasters, but that's why the new office is big enough to separate them by about a quarter of a city block.)
