On spoilers, or: It’s Just a Fucking TV Show, People.

If there is one thing on the internet that annoys the crap out of me (in reality, there are MANY things on the internet that annoy the crap out of me, this is just winning today) it is the SPOILER SPOILER hysteria that seems to permeate any – ANY – discussion of popular culture.  Specifically television.  Specifically geeky/”good” tv.

  1. It’s just a fucking tv show.  The world won’t end if you know what happened in Lost/Big Love/Heroes.  Really.  I swear.
  2. Most blog posts recapping tv shows occur, you know, AFTER IT’S AIRED.  If you missed it, and are horrified by the very notion of spoilers, stay off the internet.
  3. IT’S JUST A FUCKING TV SHOW.

God.  Seriously.

    OH MY GOD YES.

    I actually had some folks give me shit for saying simply that from what I’d heard of the whole last season of Battlestar Galactica, I was right not to watch it. They were like, “OMG SPOILERS WE HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST TWELVE EPISODES ACK!”

    Dude. If a show was aired more than a few days ago, don’t bitch about spoilers. If it’s a good show, spoilers won’t matter. GOD.
