Can they post in unAmerican? I hate to lose the discussions in their respective showthreads, though.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In unAmerican, it would have to be whitefonted. In Spoilers, they could post freely, no?

I think they should be able to post freely in Spoilers, and that those who have seen the eps (or read the shooting scripts) should be able to post freely in Spoilers. The creation of an unAmerican Firefly thread would also be acceptable, to be closed as soon as the last ep airs. Would like to know what the UKers think, because really? I'm just enjoying the discussion wherever it may take place.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The UKistas won't want to post in Spoilers if they're going to get spoiled about the three eps they haven't yet seen.
We're talking about limiting discussion in Spoilers for three weeks. Is that such a big deal?

I would vote with going with the Firefly spoilers thread staying pristine until each of the episodes airs. I've only seen one of them, and other then possibly chiming in with a "it's great" have no particular desire to spoil anyone.

Pose the question to those discussing Firefly. I'm anti-limits on conversation.

Frankly, I'd be fine with it staying in the main thread in whitefont.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
"The Message", "Heart of Gold" or "Objects In Space" in the spoiler thread?
So, does this mean no discussing of them ANYWHERE until the British see them? Because that's not right.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Actually, I'd be fine with it being in the main thread, without whitefont. I wasn't around from the beginning, but the spoiler policy seems like it should put the emphasis on the "unaired" part, not the "US" part -- I'm guessing the US-y-ness of the rule is because it was written when everything was airing here first.
As far as I'm concerned, the eps are airing, and so are current.

That notion came up some time ago, and if I recall correctly there were objections. But I have none.
