And that's where I'm a little bit different. I don't usually pay much attention to the opening creds the first time I watch a show; I'm watching the action going on on screen. The Trickster happened to be one that I don't know the actor's name, so even if I had been paying attention, I wouldn't have known. (ficwriter1966 brought up this very point--recognizing the "twist" in the opening creds--in a previous conversation somewhere.) And by the time you get to the opening creds, you're watching the show, so I'd consider the opening creds to be part of the viewing experience, for good or ill.
I believe I'd heard casting spoilers on JDM, but even if I hadn't, it was in the previews (which for me, for the most part, are fair game--though it is annoying when previews give away major plot points), so no biggie there. I do recall that a lot of JDM fans, knowing that he was going to be "in" the ep, were vastly disappointed that it was just his voice. (You might say he phoned in his performance. *insert rimshot here*)
Yes, YMMV. :-) I just sometimes enjoy that little squeal of "Ooh! Ellen's going to be in this one!" Which right now is something I'm very much hoping for.
