Hate to say this, but--hide the spoilers, puh-lease? I'm delighted by your squee, but I try like hell to avoid both spoilers and RTD interviews. (Unca Rusty scares me).

I did consider cutting, but that was for length! The only real spoiler I can see is for DW S5, and even that's pretty vague, are there more? To my eye the whole interview hasn't got anything *specific* in it - a setting, a vague situation, nothing about what they're doing, or even where they start and why - and as for Uncle Rusty... I'm hoping there'll be lots more interviews to report, with RTD as well as other cast and so forth in the coming months, so that could be a problem.

I can see that I'm going to have to give some serious thought to a spoiler policy if I'm hoping to have a safe haven for S4 squee here though. Thanks - and sorry if it upset you :(

And all the stuff about Torchwood not being rebuilt and staying unofficial and underground doesn't constitute a spoiler for s4?

Not upset, just a little bummed by the prospect--which is why I try to go into these things cold, without any spoilers. If I don't have any expectations, I can't be disappointed. I know this about myself. Once I figured out what your post was about, I quit reading, it just took me a couple paragraphs. And if you decide the policy is that, since this is a s4-and-later speculation community, it is a free-range spoiler zone, that's cool--just let us know and I'll take it off my watch list until after the series/season is done. Which would also kind of bum me out, but I can totally see that point of view. :-)

I didn't feel it was a spoiler because it wasn't anything new. I do take your point though, and I agree with the principle (even if it's only confirmation, it's still information), and I am sorry to have inadvertantly shown you something that bummed you out, so I'm going to cut the post (in a bit, when I finish typing!).

I have no intention of creating a spoiler-filled free-for-all - I wouldn't want to be there myself (and you've witnessed my attempts at promotion, it's hardly likely to get crowded round here...). It might be that you'll want to take gwenwood off your watch list soon anyway though. Time and whatnot permitting, I'd like to make a few changes to the user info and stuff, and there'll more than likely be things you'd rather avoid here at that point. I will post - spoiler free! - to ask opinions and then to warn before anything changes though. (And I promise to keep my lj spoiler free :)).

I'm sure it was only new to me--because I avoid spoilers so assiduously. I had no idea we weren't in for a re-established Torchwood 4, aboveboard and out in the open, and a spacetime rift still in Cardiff. I'll go ahead and pop off gwenwood for now and just re-join y'all after s4 airs. :)
