I wanna ask a question about Legion, but it is currently in its 5th episode of season 1. They currently release an episode each week.

Is it 'ok'/'recommended' to ask questions about the series even though all episodes are not out yet? Or should I wait 'till the end of the season to ask my questions?

I'm asking this because maybe they can release explanations for my questions in future episodes, so I don't know if it's a good practice.

It depends

If you're asking about issues already covered then it's fine.

On the other hand asking for speculation then that's a different matter.

Honestly, questions about motives, possible backstory etc. are best left to the end of a season unless that information has already been shown as those questions will tend to generate opinion-based responses.

As I said, it depends what it is you are asking about.

    SF/F has a policy that actively polices such speculative predict-the-future questions; are you suggesting a similar policy here? Should such questions be closed, downvoted, edited, etc, or should we just continue to recommend to askers to wait?

    If you're asking about issues already covered then it's fine. The problem with such a demarcation is that things often end up changing later through the season, even when they appear to have been resolved. It's not always a concrete line that can be drawn.

    I'm not suggesting any policy just giving my interpretation of existing policy. Each question should be judged independently. I agree that "predict the future" questions are bad...but "why did that happen" based on what we've seen are probably OK. But until the question is asked...we don't know.

    We actually generally allow questions that may not be answerable yet as long as they aren't asking people to speculate what might happen. It doesn't only have to be covered already. I agree with the speculation point.

    SF&F's policy is also a little messed up with the whole reopening once it becomes (supposedly) answerable (and usually trivially so) thing.
