I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Up with the sun

That's the one ep of S3 I haven't seen yet, and even having read synopses, I can't figure out what the title gives away.

Only that they lose Fred for part of the ep. (I think -- haven't rewatched it since it was 1st broadcast.) Which was probably in the promo anyhow.

Really, the *most* you could get from most ME ep titles is possibly the main character (or an important guest star) or setting, which are normally in the promos anyhow. I can't get anything plotty at all from knowing the writer(s), other than knowing the tone the writer typically takes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What is our policy now?

Nobody

Some of the Angel season 3 titles hinted. Dad and Lullabye come to mind.

What would you like the policy to be?

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

So unless Angel 5.1 is called "Hey! Gunn really IS a Giant Panther!", I think posting episode titles in the main thread is okay.

I agree.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Our official spoiler policy is that episode titles are spoilery. And frankly, I'm in the Spoiler thread anyway, so I'm not impeded from getting the info. But still. Explain to me how you would have known ahead of time what "Shiny Happy People" was about.

Well, the tendency seems to be toward broadening the definition of "unspoiled".

I would ask that we whitefont titles.

I don't see why we aren't allowed to discuss the outcome of a vote without it being labeled as "bitching" or "sniping"

What I labled "bitching" was complaining about even having to vote about something which was a) settled some time ago and b) in favor of the complainer

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Like I said, I'm in Spoilers, so it won't affect me, personally. Other than saving my Angel discussion for -- maybe -- the night of the show.

But I think episode titles aren't spoilery.

Except "Hello, Xander One-Eye." That gave a little something away....

I would ask that we whitefont titles.

I'm curious as to how titles are spoilery. I mean for you, personally. Because I don't get it, so I'm wondering what your perspective is.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Except "Hello, Xander One-Eye." That gave a little something away....
There was an ep devoted exclusively to his penis? Wow, I guess nothing can defeat it...
