I'm wondering...

Does this Com have an official stand on posts after the eps air UK.

As far as I'm aware, no US television station has paid to show the 'Dwarf state side and *ahem* less...legal means of aquiring British television usually take around 24 hours to become apparent.

Obviously, some people will want to avoid spoilers, others not so much (thinking of kms726 here) but would non-UK fans want confirmation - i.e something along the lines of 'ZOMFG, worth the wait!' and such like?

Speaking for myself, I expect not to be coherent for several hours days afterwards. I expect the boyfriend may need to poke me down from the ceiling with a broom...

...but I would love to post something poorly written and overly excitable after eps air.

Guidance?

I think a spoiler cut is probably obvious, but beyond that, I don't know what to ask for. I'm fairly sure if there's a will, my roommate will find a way to view the episodes close to when they broadcast.

But here's the problem from my POV: People who see it right away will get on here and there will be big long discussion posts, and that's a great thing, but ... by the time those of us on a delayed watch come along to participate in those posts, y'all will have gotten bored and moved on to another post or day, or not be reading those entries anymore to see what comments we might have to add. So I feel this is going to result in 18 entries about "Lemons," for example, as yet later people come along and post anew in order to try to get the entire community's attention (and I don't blame them for doing it). Does this make sense?

I see what you mean. It's a shame posting in threads doesn't bump them to the top of the page on this site.

Would a sticky post for all new eps discussion help or would that be hopelessly unmanageable? Maybe one for each ep? Sorry mods, it's just a thought. :)

Do you mean the "track" function? That works for paid users (well, it works for free users too, except a free account only allows for so many sticky-pins). Tags would likely be helpful for people coming along behind, but I'm less fussed about a johnny-come-lately being unable to catch up, than I am about those who've already had the conversation being able to see newly added comments. :-/

She's talking about stickies, like what you can do on your own personal journal. Like one post that never moves. I've got four or five that are always on the main page of my journal. Mine are predated about for 2029-2030, though so they don't get bumped off the front page of my journal.

Yes, I meant a sticky post at the top of the main page, with the number of comments listed so it would be harder to miss new ones. People could also track it if they wanted.

I agree with this, As I will likely have to wait for DVD to see it.
