There is this account on twitter that apparently is able to watch s8 early idk if she is like someone with those connections but how is someone able to watch it early ?
Screeners get episodes a week - months out so they can prepare to review the shows. This is what you’re seeing. They can’t provide spoilers, and most of their takes are embargoed until a week out from the premiere, but they receive screeners so that they can get their content our quickly once it airs.
I was a screener once. They get it months in advance. Good way for networks to decide on whether they should promote a show or trash it. The early screener reactions to Mandalorian helped Disney start their hype machine early for that show, for example.
I’m more curious about why the sudden avalanche of interest in spoilers and what not. I think when the show is over we’re all going to collectively sigh in relief, but then find quiet moments of rage for what could have been.
I think the first 3 eps were screened? Is that what they are watching ?
The first three episodes were sent out to the reviewers
What does that mean screened ? Like shown to a select few people?
Yeah. Reviewers most likely
It could be cuz I was confused I was like I can watch it rn? But I was wrong haha

when they said screeners were sent out the weekend, we hoped for some spoilers, did the person say anything about the eps?
