I prefer not to look at spoilers. This is actually the most I've delved into spoilers. I broke down and read everything about the con, including the 5 minute preview. I don't look at sides, but will peek at discussions about sides. Once the season starts, I'll stop cold again. I really prefer that true element of surprise. Casting stuff doesn't bother me, most of the time.
I think I lose some of my enjoyment reading too much stuff. I tinkered a bit in other fandoms. For me, if I like what I read, I'm so excited about it, by the time it airs, I'm disappointed cos' I've built it up so much in my head. If I don't like what I read, then I dread it so much, I overanalyze and nitpick what actually airs. That's why I try to stay relatively spoiler free for SPN.
I actually have been more spoiled by the network promo department than any written spoiler. They showed Dean holding fallen Sam in the promo for AHBL I. They did the same for the S3 finale. They showed Sam holding fallen Dean. What the hell! I would probably have had a heart attack at the end of AHBL I, cos' I had NO idea they were killing Sammy. Maybe the network was looking out for my health.
