UPDATE from weesta: THE SPOILERS MAY BE IN POP-UPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN! Damn it, CW!

Update again: According to janglyjewels it's 5 big spoilers. Not sure if she means five times or five different things about the new season.

If you are going to be watching on the CW tonight and are a spoilerphobe, BEWARE!!! RUN AWAY!!!!

Aaaand ETA the umpteenth: If you feel moved to discuss your feelings regarding this with the CW, here is a link to their comment board, helpfully provided by spndpfrdcrck

*clings to you again some more*

If they just keep it in that little crawl line at the bottom of the screen, it might be possible to rig up a cardboard spoiler-shield or something, but if they'f got the dancing baloney that takes up the bottom half of the screen, we may be utterly screwed.

THIS BLOWS!!!!!1!!!

Do we have an e-mail for the CW network? Or can we leave lots of annoyed comments over at the CW Source?

*clings back desperately* OMG, can you see us resorting to "spoiler shields"?! The thought is hilarious and terrifying at the same time. I am hysterically laughing and crying. I went to the actual CW site (not The Source blog) and found a feedback thingy at the bottom, took a few deep breaths, chanted some "ohms" and tried to calmly beg them never to do it again.

If I do figure out a spoiler shield, I'm taking a picture of it and sending it to the CW. :-P

Feedback box. Very dangerous for me. I think I'm gonna sleep on that so I avoid capslocking and frothing at them.

Back in the day, on TWoP, there was a Buffy thread called "Spoiler free is the way to be" and in it, the early viewers (some folks got the feed the night before) would tell what time the guest stars names, etc. stopped showing on the screen so the ultimate spoilerphobes wouldn't have to see a name they recognized and figure out what might happen.

I wasn't that phobic myself, but then last season I saw the trickster's name in the beginning credits for Mystery Spot, and so I knew he was the one causing all the trouble. It didn't ruin the episode for me, but I'd have liked it if I hadn't figured it out.

Let me know how your spoiler shield works out. I might need to fashion one myself.

I mean to say the actor's name who played the trickster. Something Speight, Jr., I think?

[caffienekitty]

Yep, Richard Speight Jr. He's passed into my 'name linked to character' memory now. :-)

Oh that's awesome. TWoP's policy on what constitutes a spoiler has kept me far away from the majority of it for a while now. According to them, anything that's appeared in a promo or on-air is not a spoiler, so anything revealed last night will be acceptable for open posting over there. :-P

I occasionally have a bad memory for names, especially those I've onl seen once, so I didn't recognise who he was, just that I'd seen the name before.

Oh if I do, I certainly will. I'm trying to estimate how tall the crawl would be to see how much coverage is needed. :-P
