This ties in to that other secret about "after my time" quite nicely.

[anarchicq]

There is a certain magic to not knowing something's coming. Like kids finding out Darth Vader is Luke's father. I once watched my room mate watch Psycho for the first time and she didn't know any of the twists. It was amazing. She was genuinely shocked and I think that's a rather special thing. Sometimes I It shows that media can still have an impact.

I think it's common courtesy to put spoiler tags when you're online. However, if you're out in the world, you can't expect everyone at work not to talk about Star Trek or Buffy. Especially with reboots and parody shows happening.

Speaking as someone who's currently watching a show that's older than any of the shows in the secret, and that aired before I was born, I can say it's tough to avoid spoilers. It's a show that's such a cultural touchstone that it appears in other shows and things. I had to avoid an entire episode of another show because it referenced my show.

And I have no one to blame but myself. I don't expect people to not talk about the show in casual conversation or homage or anything.

But if you've guessed the show, please no spoilers. I'm only on Season 2.

Oh, that's cool :D. Talk about a movie that would be tough to avoid spoilers for! (I've always thought it would've been entertaining to be among the very first audience who ever saw that movie. They must've been going out of their minds.)

For my sake, that movie is an example of how a spoiler only added to the movie for me, funny enough. I knew about the infamous scene going in, because it'd been talked about and parodied and referenced so many times over the years...

...and yet when I finally saw that movie in full for the first time, when that scene came, my stomach still dropped anyway. Because now I had the full context and build-up to really drive home just how scary it was.
