Warning to spoiler-phobes . . .

The first casting spoiler has been released, and I apparently stumbled upon it. I saw a name and part of a headline. And it was enough to make my eye twitch and say, "Drat! I didn't want to know that. Not this early. They haven't even started shooting yet ( Read more... )

spoiler, spn, constant vigilance!

Sorry but at least it's a spoiler you could guess about. Be careful - there's another one hint and that can do more serious damage.

I guess I shall go through the next two-and-odd-change months with my eyes squinted shut. This casting call was something that would have been very cool if it had taken me by surprise, because it's not something I would have expected. And it sort of does give away plot/theme/central character/etc. Guest stars get listed in the opening credits, of course, but I'm just really disappointed that spoilers are coming out this freakin' early and are getting posted to sites for all and sundry to see.

*le sigh*

But . . . Thanks for the heads-up on there being worse spoilers out there.

Can I speak for the other side of the coin? (I think I'm safe to do it here, 'cause you and I are friends.) It seems to me that the presence of spoilers gets more and more pervasive every season. When the spoiler is interesting, or exciting, that increases the likelihood that it's going to pop up in a lot of different places. You know me - I not only don't mind spoilers, I seek them out, so the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. I'm aware of how they spread like weeds ( ... )

I see where you're coming from, and a casting spoiler isn't as drastic as, say, the outline of an ep plot or whatever. And some things that were spoilers last season, that I stumbled upon via subject headings, I actually wrote off as fan-paranoia-induced rumor until it actually showed up on an ep.

(Oh, btw. You remember the one that everyone was freaking out over last year, to the point where Dodger even posted a post about it? I never did find out which spoiler that was. Do you know?)

Last year, my first spoiler--which was a casting spoiler--was released at Comic Con. I suppose one of the frustrating things about this year's casting spoiler is Comic Con is, what, three weeks away? So the spoilers are coming out earlier, and this one took me by surprise. Last year, I caved and watched the vids of Comic Con, so it's my own fault I was spoiled for Mitch's guest spot.

So at this early date, I didn't really know the spoilers are out there. Now I do.

*squints eyes closed*
