Surely, now that the finale has been officially shown, there are no spoilers.
NOT TRUE!!! Conventional courtesy is that at least a week is given for TV, more in holiday times. And especially for finalé episodes. It is courtesy to extend it further if people are reading in other countries, and places where the programme is shown later (as for instance when we were getting B5 several weeks after -- or occasionally before -- the US).
This is particularly so for LJ, where things appear on the flist and can't be filtered out (with netnews I could killfile on titles or even on words or phrases within the body of the message) short of removing the offender from the list (and by then it's too late).
