I disagree. I still think users should still wait until they finish watching the episode. So I'd say pages can be blocked during the airing, but forums and comments could be allowed, with everyone deciding for themselves wether or not they want to read spoilers.

I'll give an example of what I think would happen if pages are not blocked at all for my point to be clear XD Picture this: "Broken" has just started airing. We see what appears to be a flashback of some new characters (Mulan, Phillip, Aurora). Users start editing the history sections and timelines as they see fit with the information the episode seems to be showing. Now, we learn at the end of the episode these scenes were actually flashforwards. People who want to get the info about what's going on in the show will come to the wiki right after the episode STARTS airing, and will/might read wrong information because someone who has not finished watching the episode THOUGHT stuff went that way.

So my suggestion is the following: pages should be locked only while the episode is airing, but comments and forums will be open and people will read those at their own risk. Updating the pages will take place just after the episode finishes airing.
