I avoid any and all spoilers, casting news, promos, trailers, even ep titles. Learnt during X-Files that the less I know about a show I really love the more I enjoy the episode. It's murder esp just days away from the first ep of a new season, but I figure I've waited since early May, another few days ain't gonna kill me.
I agree that the less I know the better. Though I've had to become a little more relaxed because I'm on LJ a lot (though everyone is generally really good). Also YT is pretty bad for spoilers. I don't surf the place but people leaving comments on my vids will sometimes say something really spoilery.
I just wasn't strong enough...(though I don't feel massively spoiled. I tend to become more of a spoiler phobe the later the season goes on.
It's funny, back in my X-Files days (and even through my dalliances with the last few years of Buffy) I was a spoiler whore. I'd be scanning the boards, the sites, the news, all for the delightful juciness but nowadays I'm more of a sit-back-and-nervously-wait-it-out fan.
Well, that and I've never been very good at facing the possibility of letting go of a character I've slowly come to love so I'm holding my reactions in check for the season to come. :P
In the first season on SPN I spoiled myself something rotten. Even to the point of reading everyone's reaction posts before I saw the ep. I soon discovered that I the less I knew the more I enjoyed the ep.
Ah... yes. I think it's good to wait and see what actually happens with that. ;) I know there's been a lot of discussion around the place but I've stayed away. I'm with you. We'll see what happens...
I'd prefer to see less spoilers than I do, but ironically keeping the Wiki spoiler frees makes that impossible. Generally though I love finding out about whats to come - weeks of little teasers, anticipation and speculation means more than just 44 minutes of enjoyment out of each episode! Occasionally there have been bigger plot points I would prefer not to know as it spoils a great surprise.
However I have to say Madame Gable has kept a very tight lid on things. The couple of spoilers I wish I hadnt known about last season came from fan or paparazzi pictures.
I'm somewhere between 3 and 2. Like, I'd love to know a spoiler, but I don't go looking for them because I'm too lazy, therefore if someone accidentally (or not) tells me a spoiler I'm totally not bothered by it - in THIS sense - on the contrary I'd be interested in it :) But then again, if it's not something crucial, like, Dean going to hell or something I'm usually like "hm, ok then, moving on". I voted for lever 3 :)
I think I'm going to try and be more relaxed this season. I used to even avoid titles in the past, but that's really tricky - especially as I'm on LJ every day.
But yeah... finding out about major plot moments are really disappointing....
Mmm... I was kinda terrible with titles lol Somehow I can remember them all pretty good just knowing them - it comes in real handy in vidding, doesn't it? :D

I've been enjoying the pre season GLEE to much to pass up on indulging in some spoilers leading up to opening night.
Whee! Not long now...
