TSR LOST society!

Just woke up. Still not read this thread in days due to people being inept at adding spoiler tags. Anyway, i'm ******* buzzin for tonights episode. First time in a long time i've been proper excited excited at LOST...

Teresa falls up the stairs, Teresa falls down the stairs.

I don't understand why people who watch on Sky don't just avoid the thread completely from Wednesday to Friday... it's only 3 days.

I don't understand why people find it so hard to spoiler tag. If I haven't watched an episode, I come on here to see what the general consensus is on the episode, not to hear all the storylines. And considering the show hasn't even aired in the UK yet, I'd say its pretty obvious a majority of people haven't watched it yet.

This is a British site! If you wanna download the episode and watch it on wednesday then I have nor problem with that. However, you are in the minority.

This is the TV thread.. not the downloaded and watched on the internet thread. Hence, not on British tv = spoiler. It is a very well known rule on thousands of forums. If something has not been shown in the country of the threads origin then it's a spoiler...

In general, if I haven't watched an episode of a programme which has aired (UK, US, or anywhere else) I'll avoid all discussion of it because I don't want it to be spoiled. You're always going to get some idiot who either forgets to use spoiler tags, or deliberately doesn't. In the end it is down to the person who doesn't want to see spoilers to do their best to avoid them. It's hard to give a general overview of an episode without spoiling it; in fact, some people may even consider 'that was a crap episode' or 'that was awesome!' or 'oh my god I wasn't expecting that twist at the end' to be spoilers, as reading between the lines, they can give away quite a lot. For instance, I've never seen The Usual Suspects, and I don't know much about the plot, but I do know that there is some sort of epic twist at the end, which is probably going to spoil my enjoyment of it whenever I do get round to watching it.

Basic rule of thumb - if you think you might see spoilers, stay away until they aren't spoilers any more.

Michael Emersen, who plays Ben in the show, revealed his thoughts on the show finale when speaking to the New York Post this week.

'When I first read it, the ending wasn't clear to me. But since then, it's grown more clear and, I have to say, grown more satisfying the more I think about it.

'I expect a mixture of satisfaction and consternation among the viewers when it airs. But once they rewatch it, rethink about it and possibly look at the saga again, gradually they will feel like they have just read a good novel - but you have to chew on it for a while.'

Someone ginving their opinion on whether something is good or not is not a spoiler. Do you not ever read a film review or see what kind of ratings it got before watching it?

There's no need to fly into an unfettered rage - I'm not advocating people posting spoilers without spoiler tags - you'll notice that I usually do use them - all I'm saying is that since you can't guarantee that someone won't post an unobscured spoiler, it makes sense to avoid the thread for your own good. Relying on other people = risky; relying on yourself = safe


Well yes, but that's different. I'm going to watch the next episode of Lost regardless, and I'd rather form my own opinion of the episode than start watching it with any preconceptions.
