From the Horse's Mouth
RDM recently posted the following concerning spoilers on his blog. I understand it's a bit outdated (March 3rd), but I don't have a lot of downtime to search for this stuff anymore. Plus, a lot of stuff out there is chock full of spoilery. So here goes:
Surfed through the official boards and saw a LOT of spoiler photos from the finale. I'm not trying to be snarky, or ruin anyone's fun or trample anyone's speech, but I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed that so much material is getting posted. There's a lot of people who work really, really hard on the show who are waiting to see the finale and have the pleasure of surprising the audience and it's a bummer when it's ruined this close to the final airdate. Obviously, people can do what they want, it's a free country but I'd really appreciate it if the photos posted so far were confined to that thread and if people resisted the temptation to post any more shots or any more plot details. I've resisted going through the locked-down security regimes that the studios sometimes go through to protect material, but this is the kind of thing that could reverse that policy and make everything harder to access.
Thanks and enjoy the show.
I agree with starchild that RDM is a bit liberal with how much he reveals of plot lines in his podcasts (that's why I avoid them for a large chunk of time after the episode airs). I do, however, fully support his views on the spoiler photos. Imagine if you saw a shot of New Caprica City before the finale, or Starbuck with the long hair (I still can't get over that). What kind of suspense would be there? Why even bother watching? Anyway...I feel that the same goes for plotlines, if not moreso. And there is my take on spoilers.

Oh my gods! scifi is running a BSG orginal series marathon this morning! It's Lloyd Bridges and Ben Cartwright!
I wish I hadn't stumbled onto those pictures. The finale was still great and had some surprises, but still.
LAiaC, I hope you are having fun reviewing Season One. I am.
