Warning: Do not open this thread unless you've finished the season. There are ultimately going to be some spoilers here. Oh, you could open it and read everything before starting on the Prologue, but you'd have only yourself to blame. Then again, contestants do tend to wind up blaming everyone but themselves, and that's just one more game trend we see over and over...

Okay, that should clear the front page text exert with room to spare. But if you just completely stumbled in anyway, here's a link to the first part.

See you in thirteen episodes, one recap, and a Reunion.

This thread is for two things. First, if you finish reading that nightmare, go ahead and sign in on the thread, no matter how long it's been since the original so-called airdate. (As the running joke goes, that means all seven eight of you.) In fact, sign in here even if you've posted on an episode thread before this. I want to see who the marathon runners are and I really want a head count. Gee, just how many people did wind up seeing this thing? Probably something less than the total number of all late nights involved in finishing it. Y'know something? Editing svcks. Just ask any contestant, any season, any time. In fact, my editing svcks, because I never found every last typo...

Second: some questions came up during the season which I wasn't able to answer because the season was still going on. As in 'pretty much all of them.' There's a chance more questions will arise. (How can you have a FAQ with eight readers? Eight out of eight qualifies for 'frequent', right? In fact, with that kind of sample size, one person asking a question is a pretty high percentage.) So this is where I get to pull back the curtain a little. Behind The Fanfic or Inside The Writer's Studio, only without the commercials and no one got drunk before coming on the show, at least as far as I know. This means you may want to run now -- but if you have a question about the series, you can ask it here: I can try to answer it now.

So -- bring out your prior queries and post them here if you want to see what the answers are. And that means for S:SI, thank you. I neither know who Doctor McDreamy is nor care. (Active discussion of the Reunion stays on the Reunion thread, but questions about anything (including the Reunion) can go here. Not that I have any moderator powers whatsoever, but let's pretend, okay? Or not. In fact, I have no idea what I just said. Help...) And if no one asks anything, I may just dig some old questions out of the archives and answer them anyway. Yes, I'm a DAW. We're all DAWs. Live with it.

Oh, and remember: you can ask a question, or you can ask several questions, and -- that's probably just about enough out of Jeff...

Finally! I can actually argue back! Do you know what it's like to have to sit back for that many episodes and not be able to discuss a series? It feels like being under contract, that's what it feels like...
