I'll confess to wearing my Temptress ensemble now and again - but I've been trying very hard to bury all the spoilery stuff so there's nothing more than an eyelash peeping out (if that much). I don't even mention titles any more, just numbers.
As far as the sides go, whoever puts them together for the casting people has been a bit more adept this year at cutting-and-pasting, so there's been nothing that's like, "WHOA!!!! OMG!!!" - totally ruining the plot points. They've (so far, at least) been like big stompin' ol' teasers. What's worse than those? The Director's Cuts (the scenes that go online a few days before the ep airs). Can I resist those? Oh noooooo. Do they take away some of the delightful surprise of letting the ep unspool all fresh and shiny? Well, yeah. But I can live with it. I think it's that FDA-approved Daily Sammy (and Dean) Requirement that's messing me up.
Yes, I agree with you about the folks who don't care (or are just plain dumb), and have spoilers careening all over their posts, un-LJ-cut. Poor Dragons seems to shriek at them periodically, to no avail. If that kind of person is on someone's flist, I guess you have to cut 'em. Because it's kind of a situation of, you know they won't change, and if you keep 'em on your Friends Page, *then* who's at fault? (Not to levy criticism; I'm just saying, people are what they are.)
Right now? It seems to boil down to the chief culprits being the CW promo department. And anyone associated with the show who's allowed to speak in public. The rest of us just spread it around. Like fertilizer.
