Revised Spoiler Policy
Oct. 29th, 2003 06:51 amI had a bad night. I am neurotic and blame season 4 QaF Spoilers. The fact that I would lose sleep over a spoiler is ridiculous. One should not be this attached to a television show. Has "The X-Files" taught me nothing?
Apparently, not. I don't watch that much TV. A few shows and that is it. It just so happens those shows mean more to me than to the average American. If I like a show it becomes very important.
So I am revisiting my Spoiler Policy:
Smallville: Spoil me. Go ahead. Tell me what is gonna happen - it will not distract from my new-found fascination with this show. The only thing that distracts from my enjoyment is Clask's insistance on wearing a shirt. Thankfully, this has not been an issue this year. I do ask if you are putting a Spoiler in the comments to clearly label the post as containing a spoiler and putting a space there so no one is accidently spoiled in my LJ. Or you can do that nifty white test thing. I'll try to remember to edit entries if spoiler talk goes no in the comments.
Angel: Spoil me and I will beat you to death with a shovel [tm
heres_luck]. Any mention of anything pertaining to a future ep (unless it is a promo) is beyond my coping abilities. Unless your name is Luminosity and it is for a vid or just general hype. Cause Lum knows how to give me info with out really letting me know what the hell is going on. It is very cool so she has dispensation. Oh - if it is something that you think I need to know in advance so that I can prepare (i.e. Lilah's death last year - I was warned so I wouldn't freak out, have a nervous breakdown, quit my job and join an apocolyptic cult) then go through Dawn. She'll know what I need to know and if it is really bad I get sushi when she breaks it to me.
Queer As Folk: Okay - I've decided no more spoilers unless they are specifically about Justin. I don't want to know anything that has to do with Brian or Michael or Ben or Ted or any other cast member - just Justin. So if Justin saves a family from a burning building and has to have oxygen at the scene in ep 4x01 than I want to know about it. If, when he gets to the loft, Brian bitches cause he stinks from the fire - don't tell me. Justin Spoilers=good, Justin/Brian Spoilers=bad. I think I can live with this.
