UM, I would recommend rewording that Warning so that it doesn't spoil people who *haven't* seen Ties That Bind. That's the exact sort of spoiler I would be most eager to avoid if I hadn't managed to get my hands on S4.
Just because SciFi does it, doesn't mean we should ;).
Oh noes! I tried really hard not to spoil, actually! I got spoiled that way by a fic, about a detail from the season finale, and the writer hadn't meant to either, so I was trying to avoid it. I guess I thought if I gave the spoiler warning, people who hadn't seen the episode would shy away right away and not even get as far down as the warning.
I actually mentioned the detail in question because I also know the thing being spoiled has been an issue of great sensitivity to some people who saw the episode, and it's treated pretty cavalierly in my fic, so I didn't want those people to walk into the fic unawares either.
Hmm...I guess this is what happens when you try to worry about everybody. Maybe I'll just revise it to: SERIOUSLY. DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN "THE TIES THAT BIND" and leave it at that.

Thanks for the heads up.
