Bah
I have never been so spoiled on LJ for a show as I have been for Doctor Who. I don't know why that is. It's not the first time I've been watching a show that aired in Canada a week or two behind wherever it aired first. (We were like that with Angel for a while, IIRC.) I don't even belong to any comms for the show -- this is just my flist.
I realise there has to be some statute of limitations for spoilers else we'd all be cut-tagging "Darth Vader is Luke's father", but I don't think a week and half is too much to ask.
And this isn't directed at any one person since there have been four or five that have spoiled me so far. I even took someone off my flist a few weeks ago because of it.
The audience is so much smaller than for most of the things I'm watching. Is that why, maybe? Less of a "fandom" feeling? Or just the assumption that anyone who is watching is either watching live or not reading LJ until they can d/l the file a few hours later?
Whatever the reason: no love.

I'm a spoiler whore
However, before the X-Files episode "SR 819" aired, I'd read the spoilers, but FORGOT what I'd read and was pleasantly surprised that:
[SPOILER for that XF Season 6 episode where Skinner falls ill]

Krycek was the guy in the wig.
Although I'm still a spoiler whore, I can totally respect that many fans love surprises. And I don't think there should be a statute of limitations on spoilers; fans who haven't been born yet deserve that courtesy.
But yo, for all those moviegoers who haven't read the Narnia books:
Aslan is Jesus.
Don't say I didn't warn ya.
