OK, I think the spoilers are getting a little out of control. If you make a spoiler in white, you can't talk about the spoiler in regular text either or it defeats the purpose. So you end up with a bunch of white posts - so why not just keep with the thread title and make it "spoiler-free"?

... Nothing I said in regular text gave anything away about the actual spoiler. The entire concept of "is Locke dead or not" is not spoilerish, but active discussion based on this episode.

Cliff Notes: wtf?

Speculation should not be in white.

basically the way people comment on spoilers doesn't make it too hard to figure out what the spoiler was, and that's bad.

I wasn't responding to you - somewhere up higher where the guy posted the better images of Jacob and then white text - and then commented on the white text in black. I'm just saying why spoilers at all?

lol @ that "new image"

[/ QUOTE ]
and at how certain they are about the conclusion they draw from it. "Now that we know..."

[/ QUOTE ]

Notice I say that we don't know much about the character yet. But are you trying to suspend disbelief that the O'Quinn is the actor? What's the point?

[/ QUOTE ]
Because you can't see enough to know it's him. You may end up being right, but it's far from a slam dunk based on that photo.

I don't know what you mean by "trying to suspend disbelief," but I definitely have my doubts that its him. That picture is ridiculously vague.

Freeze-framing the episode and then guessing the actor is not remotely a spoiler. "XX" is silly.

Comment from the producers in white:...

<font color="white">I was unaware of that. Well, in that case, Adam and Eve are Desmond and Penny. gg Lost [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]</font>

in white, please

Why does me guessing about something have to go in white? I don't actually know anything about what is going to happen.

I agree that I messed up. I will keep my posts focused on the actual ep going forward. Sorry dudes.
