    Hi,
    Why differentiate between US and UK/IRE for individual episodes.
    Is it to keep the common Irish viewers away from the US elite?
    Think about it, there is no reason for having 2 threads, where each describe the events of Lost up to and no further than that episode, it would allow us to learn from each other not divide us further apart*








    *possibe over-reaction, but hey!

    can I have an opinion on the subject matter from you Kdjac?

    Well the way I see it is it's aired in America and then the people who've seen that post about it...

    Then when it's shown in Ireland the people who haven't seen it before watch it and post in it... but by that time the US thread is miles down the page and has far too many posts for someone to read through to get to the end of the thread...

    It's better to have them seperate because that way people who watch the IRL episodes get to start their conversation from scratch and possibly come up with the same ideas the US people came up with without people moaning that that point had been put accross 127 posts previously...

    She means we should recycle the old US episode threads when they air in Ireland, which makes sense in theory but theres usually a lot of spoilers for the next episode at the end of each thread so I don't think its a good idea.

    Which is the very reason I avoid the US episode topics.

    I don't think its a case that the US/IRL threads are dividing our camp ;) but elitist threads and people carrying a superior attitude. Typical example on the first page now is : New Lost Theory? Stay Out Non US Viewers Spoilage:rolleyes:

    That's completly unnescessary, "New lost Theory? US potential Spoilers" would have been more than adequite. Staying up late at night waiting to dl from some tracker (or gettin it from the cousin:rolleyes: ha fúcking ha) the latest episode does not make you cooler than all the other kids, no matter what you've been told.

    I don't find that's the case at all, except for knowing the name of the next ep. The threads were made the day the episode aired in the US so there can't really be a discussion about the next episode. Sometimes there's a synopsis posted in a link, but I find people use spoilers properly.
