Considering all the actual spoilers that get placed in things such as the Lost thread I would think this wouldn't make anyone upset that the guy is actually following the rules. Sometimes I think the spoiler warnings should be a sticky at the top of every new thread instead of just the TV Talk section.
Good episode tonight. This was my first OC episode in a while.

George Lucas talks about using his creativity to create things like Ewoks and Jar Jar Binks... please tell me that was a tongue-in-cheek joke by him over general opinion of those two creations.

Anybody else really disappointed by the George Lucas cameo? Not from an acting standpoint necessarily(he did no worse than his buddy Spielberg at the end of The Blues Brothers), but just how bland and dull his scenes were.
Why not surprise us by having him play a warped version of himself? Kinda like William Shatner in Free Enterprise or John Malkovich and Charlie Sheen in Being John Malkovich.

What was that growing under Lucas' chin?
The finale looks horribly campy

Gizmodvd, your not the sharpest pencil in the box are you mate ?
Duh let's click on an OC thread just before i watch it, gee what will i find in the thread, duh stuff about the episode
I learnt a long time ago to stay away from any TV or movie thread until AFTER i've watched it
Not a hard concept really even for those with tiny IQs

The rule for spoiler tags is simple: in general, only tag for episodes that haven't aired yet. Or in the case of dated television threads (such as this one), only tag for episodes that air after the date of the show. This includes coming attractions.
It's a common sense approach, and it works great. Sometimes people will tag early discussion of the show (which is why the first post has tags), but after it's aired, everything is fair game.
The rule of thumb for anybody reading one of these threads: if the subject header is about a show you haven't seen, and you don't want to be spoiled, it's best not to click the thread. Especially if the show's aired already.

As we covered already recently, spoiler tags aren't necessary in dated episoded threads when discussing what happened in that episode. That includes discussing the promo/previews for that ep and discussing the episode when it airs. And this was confirmed in feedback forum in a thread.
Anything about future episodes or other shows (that haven't aired already) need to be spoilerized.
The dated title serves as a warning that anyone who doesn't want spoilers should stay out of that thread until after watching that episode to be safe.
And again this is the official forum spoiler policy, as has already been discussed, so whining about it will do no good.

No screen caps of Julie yet? Damn, she was hawt!
I wish they would just leave Seth and Summer together and get a different storyline for them both.
One good thing about the previews for next week:

An interesting review is in this weeks Entertainment Weekly about OC and the season overall. Here are a few exerpts:
Start with the uninspired string of issues The OC churned out this season -All dropped as unceremoniouslu as a played out Chrismukkah toy. The nipped alcholhism of Marissa. The near-adultry of Sandy. The chaste lesbian fling between Marissa and Alex, who ultimately was sent home. "home' meaning the place where TV's lesbians go after they've kissed some hot cast member.
The FOX show, once so sly with the pop culture references, is now as self impressed as a post-Rushmore Wes Anderson film. And lazy. You can't subsitiute randomness for humor and you cant treat storylines like a game of whack-a-moll.
They gave the show overall a "C."

I would have given it a C-
The problem with S2 is that the show took itself too seriously. It tried to be a real soap and it just didn't work. In fact, the other teen drama on Thursday nights (earlier) this season, life as we know it, was far superior IMO.
