People's interpretation of spoilers and their pre-analyses... they really ruin the experience of watching the show.
Jeez, tell me about it. Yesterday I looked on BAPS for a link for the BtVS ep 17 trailer, and I was bombarded with people making assumptions, ripping up characters, and whining about spoilers.
I cannot tell you how many times I have written a post telling everyone to stop assuming and wait (at least) until the spoiler is confirmed, or until we receive more knowledge which makes the spoiler make more sense -- and then said, "Fuck it," and given up.
Some people will persist to blow spoilers way out of proportion; there's nothing I can do about it. For now, I just read directly from the sources and read analyses from people whom I know are rational.
