It should be to anyone that follows the show. The fact he was never coming back has been all over the net since he left the show.

Yes. But this is bigger than Eko too. I actually had hear the opposite (and thought that was a massive spoiler) that Eko was in fact returning.

But there are other characters that we haven't heard about. Grovers post seems to confirm that not only is Eko not returning but the other actors/characters (that had been '?' until now) ARE returning. And that is a bit of a spoiler.

Again, it's not that big of a deal. This whole thing has gotten much bigger than it should have. That's partly my fault. I apologize. It really doesn't matter. But some people don't know who's scheduled to return to the show.

The previous post let's us know that everyone but Eko will be back (this means Libby, Walt, Ana Lucia, Shannon, etc). For people who try to avoid that kind of information, I can see why they'd feel "spoiled." But again, there's no context. We don't know when/how they will return. So, it's really not a big deal. I shouldn't have said anything. Sorry.

None of that is a "spoiler". There are interviews all over the internet with Cuse & Lindelof where they've stated that Libby, Ana Lucia, Shannon, Michael & Walt return in some form.

We're not responsible in this thread for hiding what is known as "Common Knowledge". Anyone and everyone has access to Entertainment Weekly, along E!, Us & People magazines. If discussing what's been printed in weekly rags is considered a "spoiler" by people following this thread, I'd say stay away at all costs.

FTR, a "spoiler" IMO is something that isn't revealed to the general public, ie, "inside information", info from people who have access to the scripts and dailies, etc.

Not People magazine.

Good definition.

Red Brooklyn · 04-09-2010, 01:41 PM

I like that definition, Dane. I'm cool with that.

I post on a lot of non-spoiler LOST boards. On those boards, even previews are spoilers. Anything that is not info provided by the show itself is a spoiler. So, when I post here, I've adheared to that standard because I'm used to it other places. That's why I considered this info to be a minor spoiler.

I understand both sides of the argument, and now that I know what the standard is here, I'll be sure read at my own risk and post in accordance with this board's guidelines.

I haven't read the interviews/articles in EW, People, etc... for this very reason. I like to be surprised when a familiar face pops up and I wasn't expecting it. But it certainly hasn't ruined my enjoyment of the show to know that "everyone" will be back. I actually think it's kind of cool to know that. Gives me something to keep in the back of my mind and look forward to.

Again, I misuderstood the expectations on this board. I got them confused with the standards elsewhere. Now that I know the drill, I'll be a more responsible poster.
