Viewing the premise of a show as a spoiler would be a bit silly, especially since the names of most television shows these days are going to tell you something about the premise- like, you are not going to head into a show called "Supernatural" expecting a... realistic medical drama. Or, "Stargate: Atlantis". The fact that the show takes place in Atlantis is not a spoiler!
Up till a few months ago, I never even worried about cut-tagging spoilers for Due South- the only people in that fandom that I knew on LJ were the people who'd been there since the beginning (or, at least, well before I knew them). But now there's this recent explosion of people watching the show and suddenly I'm having to watch what I say, lest I mention RayK to someone who's only seen RayV, or something. It's a blurry line!
