WARNING: Even though most true BSG fans would have seen it already, straglers are pretty uptight about the “spoiler” I drop in the show. It’s all over the damn internet, but anyway. Be warned, if you don’t want to hear it, put the show off till you see it. (Or don’t use the internet generally…it’s everywhere right now.)
BIG show tonight, long and crazy. You know you are in for it when I say the wrong year at the top of the show, and even then, no one corrects me. Join Brian, O, Len and I as we geek out hard for more than an hour. Included are such issues as Spiderman footage, Heroes, the Battlestar Shocker, reality TV, The 300, and a TON of random things that came out of nowhere. Will have to save the ELR Alphabet till next show. 
(Sorry, Chris.) Hey! Check out this thing Brian mentioned!
Additional thanks to YouBuyNow, GoDaddy, O, Brian, Rob, Mike, Sebastian, and YOU! (And the peeps in the live chatroom…that’s always fun.)

A come on! You just ruined BSG for me, we were just getting the latest episodes of BSG here in Sweden. And I dont want to pirate all of the episodes becuase my harddrive would hate me for it. Now you better not ruin Heroes for me… Mmkay?
“I thought you could have handled the spoiler – and the resulting flak – with more responsibility and sensitivity”
Are we talking about Scott? The guy who starts almost every episode by offending an ethnic group, a sexual orientation, a political or religious persuasion, or a species? Where does “sensitivity” figure into this?
Come on, people, this is Scott Johnson, and ELR. If you want to be warned about spoilers, go find a podcast called “Mommy won’t scare you” or something.
Haha!
You have a point, I Ludicrous. I just meant that, as a geek himself, Scott should have been a bit more thoughtful about it, as he was in the ‘group’ affected.
So a podcast cant talk about the newest episodes of a sci-fi show without someone whinen about spoilers?
jebus people, if you dont want to hear spoilers dont listen to new podcasts, sorry but really its not scotts fault, its yours.
I miss Twiki.
dude…did scott just thank me?
Retro and a few others still miss the point. Talk all you want about whatever/whenever – just a little warning would of helped. That’s all. Pretty simple.
Damn spoilers… I saw it on digg.com before I saw the show.. who the fuck puts it in the title? I wanted to punch stupid people. I didn’t so much care that it was spoiled for me so much that people were being highly inconsiderate. It’s inexcusable.
Scott, you’ve talked before how the cinema is dieing and renting movies is way to go. It’s the same concept. Many people like to rent the series at the end. There’s no point in discussing shows on the air. It puts off all the people who don’t watch the show and it puts off all the people who haven’t watched it yet… and it puts off all the people who haven’t watched that episode on their tivos yet. There’s just no value is blabbing about the crap on tv… and I say that only because I despise the medium.
“Crazy, chaotic, and hilarious!” says Blastic. “The user comments alone are evidence of another historic episode for the ages… I give it three thumbs up!”
I’m with Rico here. I don’t want Scott to wait and delay talking about it, have at it. I’d just really appreciate a little 7 second thing added to the front.
Something like “Warning: BSG spoiler at 6h 85m.” Or just have the frame of mind to say it in the show before you blurt.
=( Please don’t ruin Heroes, I’ve skipped so much content when you start talking about it.
There’s no reason to talk about tv shows on the air. None.
unless they want to? maybe?
Its a risk that you take. Worse things can happen then if you hear something that you don’t want to on the show spoiler-wise.
Have a nice day
Hmm… download’s not working for me. Poopsky.
To be honest – people need to get over it. Any regular listener knows you’re a big BSG fan, so should expect to have the show talked about. Everyone’s just getting sand in their vaginas over nothing.
Realityintern: It’s a geek culture show – Sci-fi is part of geek culture, there’s the reason to talk about it.
By the way: Snape kills Dumbledore and Harry quits school.
Whaaaaaaat! triarii
In my country they have only printed book one of Harry Potter. You have so ruined it for me. Maybe if we can feed the donkey enough hay we can get him to move enough to power our commador 64 so I can find out more information on the internets.
Good ridence Starbuck
My Prediction, She’ll be back
I avoided other podcasts so as not to hear BSG spoilers…then Scott drops the bomb! Thanks dude, I died a little inside today.
I picked up Resident Evil 4 over Christmas. I’d never played any Resident Evil games so I really enjoyed it. I only got to play for about ten hours because I had a pretty busy vacation. Unfortunately I couldn’t bring my gamecube with me to school overseas, but I’m excited to finish the game when I get home.
Oh, and there’s no auto aim in it.
Persians:we have so many archers that they block the sun when they fire!
Spartans: good we fight in the shade!!
historically Spartans where major ass kickers
Ok, I’m not an expert, but I have an idea as to why the zombies are called “Undead”. Ok, so they die, become corpses, yada yada yada. Then, they are RE-animated, meaning that they are no longer dead, but they are UN-dead. And for the record, you introduced the show as being on March 6, 2006.
They talked about this on Digital Strips- I think Phil Kahn called them the “Animated Posthumous” or something like that. It’s more politically correct, apparently.
And, in case any didn’t know this, the Spartan’s really were gay. Really. I mean, as a rule. You see, the Spartan army included institutionalised homosexuality- younger soldiers were paired off with older ones, the theory being that they’d fight harder if they were fighting with someone they loved.
The Ancient Greeks had a rather different attitude to homosexuality than we traditionally do- they actually viewed it as quite masculine, and, in certain circles, it was seen as effeminate and girly to show too much of an interest in girls.
dang it scott, you spoiled my lunch

Actually if you want to give everyone the chance to have seen it, you should wait until the dvd set of the season has been out for a while. I don’t watch series when they’re on tv, but after they are out on dvd. For example i am only at season 2 of BSG. Of course this time is way too long for the shocker to be interesting at all, so it is rather a moot point. Either discuss them and have the occasional spoiler, or don’t discuss episodic stuff and movies (and maybe even games) at all…
I don’t happen to care too much about spoilers in general. I’ll have the occasional spoiler over a weekly ExtraLife with four people being silent for an hour anytime. I try to avoid them but it’s not always possible.
For instance, when i saw the message in this article about a certain BSG spoiler, i decided to skip this episode for now. But i did want to know just exactly how bad the spoiler was (because delaying the show for over a year seems rather excessive), so i went to the comments page. To make a long story short: now i know *exactly* how bad the spoiler was. On the upside, i can listen to the show now
Thank you, ‘Why oh Why’.
