I agree with Steph. If you don't want to know don't look. I always look cause I need all the spoilers I can get to try to figure out what's going on

I thought we had a rule that once an episode had been televised that nothing was from that episode was considered to be a spoiler. This was to prevent everything in a thread from being in spoiler tags. it is the responsibility of the person who hasn't yet seen it to avoid the thread.

Yup, looks like you guys are a week behind us.

As for the spoiler issue.. yes, if you look it's your own damn fault. But to post something like "well all I'll say is......" is.. I dunno. It rubbed me the wrong way. Sorry.

I got to wonder.......in Season 3 we have Sun shooting a woman(name escapes me) who Jack is then forced to operate on.

In Season 5 we have little Ben shot by Sayid.....and then taken to the Temple to be healed.

In Season 6 we have Sayid himself the victim of a gunshot wound also taken to the temple to be healed.

Why was the first woman not taken to the temple?

This show is starting to rub me the wrong way

I'm digging Rousseau-ified Claire. I wonder if she is "infected" the same way Rousseau's team was. I think Sayid is.

On another board they are thinking Claire is Smoky. I'm going to be pissed if everything and everyone is explained off as being manifestation of Smoky.

K, wait...so if I would have said, "When (specific thing) happened to Sayid, it really sucked." would have been fine but, "Nooooo, not Sayid!" isn't.

I see Lost 2 hours before most of you. I try to be very cognizant of the fact that if I come in here and say anything, I might ruin it for others. Having said that, I'm not the only one who sees it in an earlier feed and I do think, since this thread is rife with spoilers, it is my responsibility not to look in here if an episode has been aired and I haven't seen it.

I don't believe what I said spoiled anything...however, I am sincerely sorry if I ruined anyone's viewing of last night's episode.

FWIW...

My commentary was directed at Sayid possibly having been infected and is now "dark". Of all of the characters, I believe Sayid is the one who has redeemed himself the most. To lose that redemption on chance seems unfair. On the other hand, I believe that it further fleshes out the themes of faith, redemption, fate and free will.

Yes it's read at your own risk, but when someone starts a post specifically saying they are being cognizant that people haven't seen it yet, I am lead to believe that I can safely read the post w/out there being spoilers. And in my book you posted the equivalent of, "This episode doesn't end well for Sayid." No, there were no specifics, and that's not exactly the biggest shocker in the world, but watching the episode knowing for sure that the green pill was definitely not going to be helping Sayid rather spoiled the dramatic tension of the episode.

I guess I'll follow a strict policy of not opening this thread on Tuesdays.

As I said, I am sincerely (no sarcasm) sorry that my comment ruined the experience.

On one hand, it was agreed that once the episode aired it was free game. It's general internet status-quo these days, message boards threads = ok, FB/Twitter = bad. At least in my circles of the internet. On the other hand, with most of LoT in the Pacific time zone sometimes it doesn't occur to not open a thread. At least for me.

I read at Television Without Pity and over there it is my own damn fault if I open their episode specific thread.

Maybe we can use spoiler tags for 24 or 48 hours after airing? That way someone who hasn't caught up (The Lashes as a prime example) can read without being spoiled. Or for that matter, since the Lashes are a week behind, maybe we should just use spoiler tags for a week? It shouldn't be that hard, we do it in movie threads for several weeks after opening date.

Just a suggestion.

I know better than to open this thread until after I've watched the episode. Of course, if someone's watched the episode in some flash-forward time zone before it's available for me, I might forget. Hmm. So, reminder to me, don't open this thread after 6pm on the night the episode airs, until after I've watched it.
