::We absolutely shouldn't wait to create. [[Tardis:spoiler policy]] is quite clear. We go with the country of first publication, according to the first (and totally unambiguous) paragraph of that policy. Personally, speaking as an American, I think it's great to '''finally''' have the advantage of this policy, and I see no reason to kowtow to British viewers. British viewers, with all the respect in the world, can cry me a freakin' river. I didn't hear ''anyone'' bitchin' about the creation of ''K9'' story pages prior to the British debut. | ::We absolutely shouldn't wait to create. [[Tardis:spoiler policy]] is quite clear.

::The real question with ''Miracle Day'' is what we're going to do about the fact that there are different US and UK cuts. Which one do we view as "correct"? The one where Captain Jack is holding a can of Coca-Cola, or the one where you don't see the brand? I ask, because it could well have an effect upon our "from the real world" pages. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | ::The real question with ''Miracle Day'' is what we're going to do about the fact that there are different US and UK cuts.

:::As a UK viewer, I find it weird that it will air in the US first, however, I will be watching online the day after it airs in the US and I'll also watch it when it airs on BBC 1. I accept that the pages will be created after it airs, now I now how you felt with the eariler series or Torchwood, Doctor Who and SJA. | :::As a UK viewer, I find it weird that it will air in the US first, however, I will be watching online the day after it airs in the US and I'll also watch it when it airs on BBC 1.

::::It should be pointed out that "episode timing" doesn't refer to making room for commercials, as would be the case with BBCA. Starz is commercial free. (Well, except for continuity announcements, at least.) So I have no idea what Spilsbury is talking about, unless we can assume that RTD made ''Miracle Day'' like he made DW — where every episode isn't ''quite'' the same length. | ::::It should be pointed out that "episode timing" doesn't refer to making room for commercials, as would be the case with BBCA.

::::I have a feeling that the real question of interest here is what happens to the home video release. If it, in turn, is ''also'' different depending on the region, there are potentially going to be some questions we need to settle. If, however, it's the same in R1 and R2, then we might have to make a ruling that, for this series only, the DVD is deemed definitive. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | ::::I have a feeling that the real question of interest here is what happens to the home video release.

I'm not sure what method Mini-mitch will be using to watch the American version, but I will personally be waiting for the BBC broadcast. I'd be happy to view them together as a patchwork, with the additional bits all being counted. By this I mean that all brands conveniently placed in the American version should be "counted", as should any additional scenes that happen to crop up in either version. I guess that could suffice until we get a DVD release.----<u>[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small></u> 19:03, June 27, 2011 (UTC) | I'm not sure what method Mini-mitch will be using to watch the American version, but I will personally be waiting for the BBC broadcast.
