And Deena's vision, to me, sounds like the dream show thread. I think in the last seasons of Buffy and Angel, we lost a lot of that kind of stuff from the main threads in favor of a big watch and post, followed by a dead thread for the rest of the week.
I'm not blaming the shift on Spoilers Light, incidentally -- in the same period, there was increasing show malaise, the huge growth of new venues like LJ, and don't you know that there's a war on. But I miss having show discussions that range a little wider than OMGWTF did you just see that?, and I'm not sure how it constitutes a spoiler thread at all.
I think I was thinking in terms of you needing to find the spoilers, not so much discussing them - and in that case, no, this proposed thread ain't gonna do it.
Amych, I'd prefer that, too. Maybe we can mutilate tweak the Lost thread to fit our vision.

I had the same thought!
I've never seen cast changes or writers or episode titles -- basically anythng on the regular TV Guide level -- as a spoiler, and I would love to have a community where I could talk about those things without whitefont.
And DX, I hope I didn't sound like I was blaming you, because I don't. Minor annoyance, is all.
I do think that erring on the side of whitefont was the way to go, DX. Some things can't be stuffed back into the box.

If we were going to change the definition of "spoiler" for a thread--which is something that we've worked out painfully and at great length--I'd really appreciate us doing it via vote. Because as y'all may remember, I do see some of those things as spoilers.

I did not mean to suggest we do anything else, Katie. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear that I was just stating an opinion.
Okay, thanks. I just wanted to, you know, get my foot in the door before it closed.
Cast changes are definitely spoilers to me (not that I mind knowing them sometimes). For a show like Lost they surely are.
Yes -- because it would be mostly character deaths.
