Mods, please top this.

A bit early, but as I'm going to be traveling/away, I wanted to get it up ahead of time.

~~And yes I know I left the 's' off in the banner; I didn't notice until I'd closed out of PS.~~

Love the banner. I didn't even notice the typo until you mentioned it, Twist.

Actually, once something has aired anywhere in the world, it's no longer a spoiler. Although if the majority of your posters are from that time zone, others can use their discretion and use spoiler tags out of consideration.

We could probably just take that part out since these are re watches and the episodes have already aired

splintered · 08-31-2013, 03:45 AM

^ Agreed.

But just to be clear - I thought this rule was set because EST is the timezone where the episodes first air. If this is true, maybe the rule could be rephrased to clarify the point Chris made?

danvers · 08-31-2013, 11:15 AM

yeah, it's true. it's when the episodes first air. 9PM EST in the US (BBCA) and canada (space). there is no time shift if you're in canada, though. so both west/east coast watch the show live. not sure about the west coast in the US.

Less Than Perfect · 08-31-2013, 05:59 PM

Anyone around for the rewatch this week?

Majority of tv shows are aired in the US in the EST. Maybe that's why?

But like Lost Girl, it's not aired in the US at first. So once it first airs in Canada, it's free game. Last season it was shown in US a day or two later.

West coast in US airs tv shows during their time, so it's 3 hours after the East Coast.

I'm around now but will probably rewatch later/tomorrow.

and yeah, both BBCA (US) and space (canada) broadcast the show at the same time EST so those in the west coast (US) and anywhere else in the world in a different timezone should take that into consideration.

but because this is a rewatch thread, I agree it doesn't matter.

I think Twisty said she essentially used the same OP from the PLL board, so she probably just forgot to tweak it a bit for our rewatches.

I may just watch it later on then because I'm so tired.
