Angel 1x09 Hero Full Reaction

I don't understand why someone who is paying you for these reactions would want to spoil it for you. A few months ago I wrote a comment, trying to give you the heads-up on who Sarah-Jane was in Dr Who, and went out of my way to make it spoiler free and just give you basic facts anyone who had a passing interest in Who at the time would have known. Not a single mention that your favourite librarian would be in it. Now someone did try and spoil this for you in a YouTube comment a little while ago. I made a comment to that post about Jenny C hoping it would not give you any hint about this episode, glad it worked and you either didn't see the original comment or my comment to it made it more general, distracting from what I knew the originator was speaking about.

I really was at such a loss for words... I was just so sad at the end of the episode. I guess what everyone says about Joss is true. We get what we want, and then it gets taken away. It was AMAZING to see Doyle reveal his true self, AND the date was planned... Oh that was so beautiful. Maybe I was silly, but I didn't think that Angel would hurt us like Buffy has. I know better now 😭😭 So glad to know I'm not alone, Ryan 💜

I was you when this episode aired. And don't worry I will leave no spoilers, just how I felt after seeing this episode. Just shock. Complete and utter shock and denial. I can remember vividly thinking "They can't have 2 episodes in a row that reduced me to blubbering tears."

It never fails even after many rewatches

Good call on not Googling. Because it's so easy to run across other spoilers that relate to whatever storyline your are looking up.

Latest on youtube is 1x04 so decent buffer at least

Maybe wait to post this on on youtube until youve watched Angel 1×10?

A message to anyone who posts spoilers: Shepherd Book will sent you to the Special Hell.

My favorite thing about this episode is how Doyle's ad at the beginning is so funny and makes you laugh, and then they replay the same ad at the end and it leaves you in tears.

I think the "bald Star Trek guy" in the intro was meant to be Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard) - but Armin Shimerman (Principal Snyder) would be much funnier :-) The monster-of-the-week of this episode feels very ham-fisted. But any complaints I have about that are dwarfed by everything else. As for spoilers, I don't know how ahead of YouTube you are but it might be a good idea to add a few more episodes as a buffer.

While technically possible to have mods on patreon it's restricted to large ones and there are drawbacks. What other reactors have done is have a group of people/mods that will pre-read the comments and the reactor will avoid them for a few days so they can be filtered. And yeah, there are people willing to spend their time reading comments to keep you spoiler free. The Buffyverse fandom, in particular, tends to help wherever is needed.

I haven't looked into if patreon can have moderators yet (I will do now!) but I do have two beautiful helpers on youtube but the reality is, we are only human and I can't expect people to trawl through so many comments per day and to catch everything. The only option is to just not read and reply to comments, but I don't like that either 🤣 It does make sense why so many creators don't interact in the comments, but that just doesn't feel right to me.

It may be the time to consider a more formal process for avoiding spoilers ... unfortunately they will get posted and more and more commonly it happens on patreon, but there have been processes put in place for other reactors that work "well" to avoid them.

Please no spoilers 😭😭 I received a message letting me know there was a spoiler in the comments, so I have deleted it by using a book over the screen so I didn't see anything. I know it's probably pointless as when it goes on youtube people will write spoilers but I just wanted to not know, and to kinda live in (perhaps false) hope that we will see (character) again. A general rule is that I really, really don't want to know anything beyond the current episode. Thank you for everyone's understanding.

Juliette Gaming

What is wrong with you!? Juliette specifically said she didn't want to know!!!

Neil Hanson

She explicitly said not to spoil... and yet the first comment is...

GaveUp

Dude, delete that. sheesh
