The Spoiler Conundrum

[feliciakw]

As posted last year:

To be spoiled, or not to be spoiled: that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous wankage,
Or to take arms against a sea of unrevealed plot points
And by opposing, be completely blindsided when they appear?
To spoil, to flail no more?
And by the spoilers to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That fannishness is heir to, 'tis a consummation
that has its pros and cons.
To spoil, to flail. To spoil, perchance, to squee. Ay, there's the rub.
For in that squee what flails may be forstalled
When we view the ep as aired,
Must give us pause . . .

ComicCon is over, and SPN interviews are hitting the 'Net. I watched one that had nothing in it I didn't know. Then I watched another and had to turn it off mid-way through because my inner spoilerphobe started screaming in pain. ("NOOOOOO!!!!!! I don't want to know that yet!!!! *sticks fingers in ears* LALALALALALALALALALICAN'THEARYOULALALALALALAL!!!!!!)

However, when panel vids start getting posted, I'm afraid I'm going to have to cave, at least partially. It's been too long since I've seen a new interview, and its' still two months until the season premiere.

How am I gonna survive?

I honestly don't remember there being anything spoilery from this morning's panel. A little bit about the direction of the show, a clip from an upcoming episode. There's only one small thing that comes to mind, but it's something that's going to be solved within the first five minutes of the premiere, so I don't really count it. It was mostly "this is the direction the story is going in," "this is some casting news you already know," "this is an overly vague response that really doesn't answer anything." Basically, if you've been paying attention to the usual news there isn't anything shocking to discover.

Hm . . . direction of the show is okay. No vid clips of any sort (I see nossink, I hear nossink, *covers eyes* lalalalnotlisteninglalala).

Casting news . . . I guess I'm getting used to stumbling over stuff I really don't want to know until the ep airs. *shrug*

Maybe I'll watch the stuff with just one eye and one ear?
