yep, fastest way to get 'poofed' is to talk about politics, religion and smart off to somebody. Q, is a lot better about that now then with the old Q. They won't sanction people getting up in your face and baiting you for an argument, etc.  If you can't disagree in an intelligent fashion don't lash out like a toddler and scream and stamp your feet because you can't have your way.   Nobody really cares anyway. LOL

Oh my goodness - I saw this in 'My Shows' the other day and thought it must be something I scheduled and couldn't remember why.

Then, last night, I went to check it out and saw that it was S02, E01 and at that point I wondered, as I noticed that I had a Season Pass for it, why I decided to start watching a show in Season 2 (I virtually never do that).

Long story long (sorry) - I HAD watched season one and totally forgot about it and have had the Season Pass since then.  Like an idiot I did not remember one single thing about this show.  Good thing they did a kind of recap of season one because it started looking familiar.  I still don't remember anything beyond the recap but that helped a LOT.  

Anyway - will keep watching.

Still waiting for an actual spoiler.

Spoiler

This is how you insert a spoiler.  If you don't have a spoiler, then there is no point to having the word "spoiler" in the title.

Chicken, I'd started watching it when it first began last season but I lost interest. 

I watched the new episodes and decided to tape it.  I haven't decided if I'm going to keep watching it.

I do agree with you about the update being helpful.  It helped me too..although I don't think this show needs a lot of brain power (Ha)!  Works for me as my brain is on overdrive from those other shows.

Even Once Upon A Time is burning up my brain trying to figure things out.

As far as Satisfaction....I thought when the blonde owner (forget her name) said to his wife as she walked away, "My husband left me too...I've been thinking of redecorating" (as she is trying to befriend and showing her vulnerability to this woman) and the woman kept walking down the stairs (I think she'll come back).

What did you think of that scene?  I thought that was one of the best scenes I've seen played out on TV in a long time.  It just through me for a loop like a switch went off.

The blonde lady (sorry, I can't remember her name either) -  This is a really great character.  I like where it's going with the wife (sorry - I can't remember pretty much anybody's name yet) and her.  I just knew the wife would come back and work with her.

As for the 'spoilers' in the thread title (thank you!!), that just indicates that spoilers are ok and there isn't a need to spoiler tag them within the thread.  I would assume, even though it wasn't mentioned, it's a 'spoilers ok for the entire season' - aired so far.

When the thread title isn't specific about spoilers, that is when we need to use the spoiler tagging in the thread.  I'm so glad they added that and am really hoping that more people learn how to use it.

I opened one thread that, IIRC, was about a movie.  Didn't mention spoilers ok in the thread title.  I haven't seen the movie yet and - yup, you guessed it...spoilers posted in the thread for all to see.

I guess I'm a hard head (OK, I know I am) but I don't understand why you'd click on a TV show and not expect to see things about the show.

How can you discuss a show without putting in what you've seen?  

I can understand with a book or a movie because a movie you see once and that's it.  Same thing with a book.  You might want to say why you think it's good (ie characters, etc) but on a TV show why would you want to click on it if you don't want to know about the TV show?

The below discussion I just gave talking about the blond that spoke to his wife right there says she now knows about her husband's "jobs", has confronted the 'boss', etc.  I'm not very good at explaining things, but do you see my point?

There is a much longer thread (spoilers, etc) on Satisfaction and someone kept saying "what is this"?  That's why I decided to put in the Spoilers.

It took me awhile to understand how I can find the older threads that discuss the shows so we can keep the conversations going without have many new threads on one subject.

I think putting "Spoilers" is a good idea but maybe we should do it with just about everything otherwise how can we discuss a show?

I'll follow all of your leads.  Like I said, I'm not good at organizing but I will follow the leads.  Annabelle.

Hey Annabelle!  It's just one of those original internet etiquette things like not typing in all caps or all bolded (considered rude and yelling).

I think it got even more necessary to not spoil shows/movies when people got more busy and had to watch things on their own terms, such as using Tivos or generic DVRs, etc.   I've only been on the internet since 1999, but these have been some of the very basic internet etiquette rules since before i got here.   

The basic etiquette of it is that if you put like - Satisfaction Season Two *SPOILERS OK* then people can freely discuss spoily stuff.  

If it's not specific to a given episode or has spoilers in the thread title, then spoilers are to be typed within the spoiler tag thingy (the yellow thing in the tool line above the post).  That way, people who haven't watched yet and don't want to see spoilers can still participate.

I do know that there are always a lot of people on this board who are new to the internet or new to posting on boards so I ONLY offer this information to be helpful, NOT to be critical.    So I hope it's taken in the spirit it's meant.

I am not new to the Internet and I know how to use terminology and don't just throw it in where it isn't warranted.

If you are interested, here is how to use the spoiler icon.

All you have to do is type the "spoiler" wording, block it (I trust you know how to do that after over 8000 messages), and click on the spoiler yellow icon.  It will then be covered in gray.

Or, method 2, just hit the spoiler icon, then type, and the words will be in the gray spoiler covering.  Once the message is posted, the words under the "spoiler" gray segment will not show until someone clicks on it.

And since you haven't been on other sites, you should know that putting "spoiler" randomly in a header is meaningless.  Either say "spoilers OK" or "possible spoilers" or use the spoiler icon.

Your statement that you can't discuss a show without spoilers is not always true.

I watched it last year and it went crazier and crazier.  I watched the first show of this season and don't like the way it is going.
