Spoiler poll

A simple question.

[Poll #1185469]

Feel free to explain your choice in the comments. I'm especially curious as to why people read spoilers.

Personally, I avoid [Geass] spoilers whenever possible. (LJ-cuts, yay?) I think Geass is one of those series that can be so unpredictable that the suspense is half the fun. That said, I don't want to know what happens ahead of time cuz that, well, spoils it.


PS No posting [possible] spoilers in the comments, ya?

I actually seek out spoilers wherever I can find it. Maybe it's because Geass is sometimes so outrageously predictable that it doesn't matter if I spoil myself. Maybe it's because Geass is sometimes so outrageously unpredictable that its unpredictability is predictable. Maybe it's because I'm impatient.

But I think now, I'm watching it more for the character interactions than the plot. Spoilers help me brace for surprises ahead of time and start the process on my rationalization of character actions. I want to go into an episode with a basic idea of character motivations and relationship dynamics. I want to try to catch the subtleties of those interactions without being bothered by knee-jerk emotional reactions.
