timepiececlockOk, so I see the spoilers for Buffy episode 21 are out. Most of the people on my friends list are really good about this, but I just want to remind you all again to HIDE YOUR SPOILERS!
If anyone doesn't know how to do the lj-cut feature which hides text, you can find it in LiveJournal FAQ (on your right) under Journal Entries---> LJ specific tags.
Remember, moods are spoilers too! If your subject tells how incredibly overwrought you are becuase of great tragedy, or mad because you're a hard-core shipper and "something will happen to yuor pairing"-- Not cool! I don't want to accidentally infer that someone died or broke up or confessed "I love you", or whatever mught happen as that series comes to a close. The only non-spoilery emotion is surprise or lack of surprise.
But like I said, most of you are pretty sensitive to this, which is great. I just wanted to put it up because this is the _series_finale_, and I don't want to be accidentally ruined for it, not a bit.

Date: 2003-03-19 08:23 pm (UTC)Jeez, tell me about it. Yesterday I looked on BAPS for a link for the BtVS ep 17 trailer, and I was bombarded with people making assumptions, ripping up characters, and whining about spoilers.
I cannot tell you how many times I have written a post telling everyone to stop assuming and wait (at least) until the spoiler is confirmed, or until we receive more knowledge which makes the spoiler make more sense -- and then said, "Fuck it," and given up.
Some people will persist to blow spoilers way out of proportion; there's nothing I can do about it. For now, I just read directly from the sources and read analyses from people whom I know are rational.
