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?

Depends. When the ending of episode 3 was leaked, I downloaded it immediately because I knew there was no way I could avoid people discussing it for, what, 6 days? I knew if I didn't watch it myself, someone else was going to bring it up and I'd be spoiled anyway. "Better to kill yourself than be murdered!"

During season 1, I avoided Geass spoilers of any kind like the plague. I waited on subs for every episode and wouldn't even consider watching a raw. The only time I read summaries was after watching the episode to make sure I didn't miss anything. Mind you, I considered Code Geass a serious, intelligent drama at this time.

Now I watch raws and read magazine "spoilers." I don't really count most of the stuff in magazines as spoilers because they don't reveal any key plot points. A real spoiler is "____ DIES" or a detailed summary; something that really affects your enjoyment of the episode. Minor spoilers are fine and add to the fun.

[Quality] Subs come out so fast now that I don't even need to dl raws. I pretty wake up Saturday morning and expect a sub to be ready for download. .^^; I think this helps reduce the number of discussions before everyone has seen the episode (eg. raw watchers discussing before sub watchers).
