Yes, you can put the flag down now. This is an international community, and always has been. Apology accepted BTW =-)

Even if it had been a US-only site, a spoiler warning would still have been appropriate. (And spoiler warnings *do* actually please all the people all the time. )

I just finished watching the two hour season opener of Battlestar Galactica. I can easily post some interesting events of the show here. All you would have to do is take a glance...I won't though. I'm not inconsiderate like that. Even though some will think I am for my "American" comments.

Just flag the thread or post with the word "spoiler" and an indication fof what is being spoiled and ppl can make up their own minds whether to read it or not.

I also watched the new episode of the British show, 'Doctor Who'. Nicely done episode. Though I missed how the doctor is a different actor now. Will this happen much?

Yeah, the Doctor has been played by at least 8 or 10 different actors over the years. They invented a handy plot device to explain it, whereby the Doctor (being an alien timelord who just happens to look human) regenerates every now and again, getting a whole new body and (to a certain extent) a new personality.

So is the British showing of 'Doctor Who' ahead of America? Or has an American company bought it out?

I think you are on the same series as us, if you've just seen the doctor regenerate. However, they are advertising a Dr Who spin-off over here now, "Torchwood", which will probably hit the screens soon.
I believe it's all owned and produced by the BBC. I very much doubt they'll ever be selling the rights to Dr Who, it's been one of their most popular and characteristic products for 4 decades now.
