[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8392319, member: 177"] So, yes and no. I think that depends on how close the adaptation is going to hew to the original work. For the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for example, what they do is only a very loose adaptation of the original comics. Referencing the comics in discussion may be amusing, but usually doesn't give away anything about the plot of the work. In discussing the upcoming Wheel of Time series, I expect discussing the plot of the book is very likely to give up elements of the TV series. In the end, this is really a [B]Golden Rule[/B] question. We are talking with [I]actual people[/I], and we should have sufficient respect for them to not ruin their experience because we are thoughtless or showing off how much we know about a source material. So, for a Wheel of Time TV Series thread, I would expect folks to either set up a separate thread that included book spoilers, or use spoiler blocks when mentioning parts of the books that haven't made it to screen. However, once that series starts, when an episode airs, folks should feel free to discuss the content of that episode. People like me who don't binge watch or often watch shows the day an episode drops, should avoid the thread until they are up-to-date. [/QUOTE]
