Oh, that's a *very* good point, Sue. Yes, we should do that.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Main thread. No whitefont.
Not an order, just my opinion.

I like the idea of keeping the unaired episodes in the spoiler thread until they come out on DVD in the U.S. That way, those that want to stay unspoiled, can.
And I'm all for the idea of not discussing or whitefonting the unaired eps in the spoiler thread until the Brits see them. It's only for a couple weeks, and I've been enjoying their enthusiasm so much!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Can someone check elena's deathmatch link in Press? Clicking the livelink tells me I am not authorised to edit that post.

Thanks for all the fish.
Huh. I'll check it. But, edit the post?
Sigh, right clicked on the wrong button. Will fix it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It does leave a bunch of people homeless, doesn't it?
Well, yes. I mean, I haven't been posting in FF for a while so I'm sure I won't be missed, but I do dislike being forced to stop reading a thread.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm with Rayne, et al.
If UKers discuss in the main FF thread, that leaves some of us without Firefly for 4-5 months. It seems like the best/easiest solution is to move them to Spoilers (I don't understand if there's a stigma attached to having to post in spoilers. If so, I understand that would change opinions). This solution has the added bonus of minimum discussion sub-grouping (post August).

All is well that ends in pizza.
I daresay Firefly is in a unique situation, so any solution is going to be hard to pin down and feel right for everyone.

It's seeming to me like the spoiler thread is the way to go. Since the eps are coming up so soon, it won't be a strange situation for long, and it does avoid having the main thread getting weird for several months.
If we do decide to go with the spoilers idea, I'd suggest a post in that thread announcing the details of what can and cannot be discussed and when, along with an announcement in Press and the main FF thread with links to that post. That way people who haven't seen all three can find their place without worrying about being spoiled by what came before.
