The title of this thread should read: "Double Murder in Fort Washington MD"

I'll change it, but this seems pretty rinky-dink. By the time a thread is 15 pages long, of course it is going to have spoilers. You shouldn't need the subject line to tell you that. |

Thanks, Jeff. The stakes are high: it's the last season!

I think the OP's point was that it would only have discussion of the episodes that have already aired in the US -- that it wouldn't have any spoilers from people who watched the already aired British version. |

Well, I'm glad I saw this, because I've been a regular contributor to the "no spoilers" DA thread. When I saw the new "spoilers" title I assumed that it was another recent DA thread that I have successfully avoided thus far.
The "no spoilers" title meant that there are no spoilers for those who are watching the current season as it airs on PBS. If you want to get technical, any thread discussing anything at all that has EVER happened on DA contains spoilers. But most reasonable people understand that "spoilers" as used in that thread title refers to anything that has not yet happened as the series airs in the US. |

Another "Downton Abbey" follower and yes, I assumed the "no spoilers" referred to the earlier UK broadcast of the episodes we are now currently watching weekly in the U.S. At the same time I expected spoilers each Sunday/Monday after the episodes aired here.
So now, with "spoilers"now in the heading I will avoid the thread lest someone post info on the upcoming final episodes. |

| No spoilers is for the people who haven't bootlegged the entire season. Now I'm scared to look at this thread because I don't know if its about the current episode or the whole season. |

| Jeff -- can you please put the NO back in the Downton Abbey thread? The whole point was to have a thread without spoilers, as differentiated from other threads. Someone else suggested No UK Spoilers, and that would be fine, too. The point being we're watching the series in real time in the US. |

Hi everyone - I'm the OP of that thread and PP is correct. The point of having "NO Spoilers" in the title was to differentiate this thread from the other one which gave up all spoilers about the entire season and how it ends, as posted by viewers who have already seen the UK airing. I clicked on that thread once and couldn't click out of it fast enough. I definitely didn't want to find out what happens before I've even had a chance to watch it myself! Of course we're going to discuss episodes, as in any thread about a show. But we've only been discussing them after each episode airs here in the U.S., giving fans a chance to actually see it and THEN discuss. |
