90-minute premiere episode on Halloween night...

[BillyRay]

Hell on earth = When our American members start flooding the forum with "ooh, did ya see that bit where..." while us non-Americans jelously peer through the window. You lucky, lucky bastards! Reverse the countries, replace the title "Walking Dead" with "Doctor Who", and you'll have an idea what we American fans have had to deal with since the 1980's... Just sayin'.

What? Where? Someone added this to my first post in this thread. Not that there's a problem with the sentence, I just found it strange that someone added that to my post rather than making their own... It's going to be November 1st 00:01am.... PLEASE

Reverse the countries, replace the title "Walking Dead" with "Doctor Who", and you'll have an idea what we American fans have had to deal with since the 1980's... Just sayin'. And replace "Doctor Who" with "about every show from America" and you can sit back in your chair quietly.

Looks like this might be my first Halloween without going to a party in many years, strictly for this. However, I think I'm going to DVR it and wait until it's nearly over to start watching it so I can skip commercials.

I'm still holding out some hope that Darabont's pilot episode is commercial free.... AMC is known to do that, aren't they?

[bassman]

AMC is known to do that, aren't they? I'm not sure, but I seem to remember them airing Night without commercials last year. Seeing as TWD is a big premiere event for the network and it's Frank Darabont, it wouldn't surprise me if the pilot aired without commercials.

We will have to have a STRICT *spoiler* policy! Separate threads for each episode, with a clear "**SPOILER**" warning on the title, so we can all join in once we've seen it - i.e. no posting about episode content in other threads. I do hope we Brits get it like November 1st or 2nd at the latest. I can't abide waiting a week or something ruddy nonsense like that. Legion had it right - hell on earth avoiding spoilers on here for TWD come November. Well unless you're going to POLICE the boards 24/7 I don't see that happening without issues... However, VBB can be programmed to have a SPLASH page for anyone who enters a dedicated forum. Maybe Andy or Neil can set it up that when you click on the link to enter THE WALKING DEAD forum you are directed to a splash page that clearly spells out the SPOILER aspect and you have to agree ebfore you're allowed to enter the forum and post. That is your best defense in handling that aspect I can think of aside from round the clock Mod policing of this forum... which I know won't happen.

Is this too difficult for people around here?
