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.

OK. I'm hooked. Say what? Who is Jack Harkness in this melange, other than the obvious?


"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."

Hey, I don't get BBC America, or whatever - I'm stuck.

Well, unless you know about the Face of Bo in Dr Who, I'm not sure you'll get the reference...but the Face of Bo showed up in the first season, near the beginning (Rose and the 9th Doctor). Bo is a being of incredible age (billions and billions of years old). He's a giant face floating in a big tank.

The Face of Bo is Capt Jack of Torchwood, formerly of Dr Who. Did this help?

Sorry to take so long - I've been off line for the week.

Thank you for the info - it does explain a bit - although perhaps he could have mentioned it sooner?

But again, I appreciate knowing.
