I'm a spoiler-aholic and -

[gategrrl]

I'm a spoiler-aholic, and I admit it. I love spoilers. Usually, they don't bother me (and indeed, they still don't). But I am discovering that the more I stay away from website dedicated to the shows I like, like Heroes, or Dr Who, or whatever, I find that I'm enjoying the episodes themselves a lot more. The Guy is an admitted spoilerphobe. He hates them; and when I know something he doesn't, more than not, I spill the beans and he gets ticked off at me.

Without meaning to, for instance, I blurted out who Jack Harkness on Torchwood/Dr Who *really* is and the Guy stared at me wide-eyed and flabberghasted. *

So, I'm not announcing that from now on I am avoiding spoilers like a plague. No way, I enjoy them way too much. But I don't think I'm going to seek them out actively like I used to for Stargate and Heroes, etc. They aren't killing my fun, but they are cramping the fun. I guess I'm in the spoiler-no-mans-land.



* Honestly, though? Big anticlimax. Like, that was the big mystery, "There is Another"? That was the big secret? Big whup, little pay-off.

LOL! I adore spoilers. I totally go look for them every time of think of it. :P But you're right, it can kind of cramp the fun of the show sometimes. For me, it happens more when I read people's reactions to an episode I haven't seen yet. If it's just regular spoilers, like on gateworld or something, then it's not bad - cept for the Carter crap - but reading people's reviews, especially if they're not glowing reviews, can sometimes put a damper on my excitement to see an episode. Course - that doesn't actually stop me from hunting down said reviews. :P When I'm sitting here waiting impatiently for an episode to go up for downloading I'll take what I can get. ;)
