katikatIt was brought to my attention that I spoiled someone by talking about the finale of ST:E and that made me think of what I personally consider a spoiler and what not. Let's see...
Movies:
- Everything unaired is a spoiler.
- Everything aired and not on DVD is a spoiler.
- Movie out on DVD is a free game.
TV series:
- Everything unaired is a spoiler.
- Episode-specific stuff - MOTW etc. - is a spoiler until the next episode airs.
- Major character-specific stuff - deaths, leaving the show etc. - is a spoiler until the season is out on DVD.
- Seasons out on DVD are a free game.
- Old shows out on DVD are a free game.
I know that some people on my flist would disagree but that's how I see it. In my opinion, there has to be an expiration period for spoilers otherwise you wouldn't be able to talk about anything show/movie related outside a cut. You wouldn't be able to mention anything from John Winchester's death to Jack O'Neill leaving SG-1.
If you don't agree, folks, and you want to leave my flist for fear of being spoiled, I respect that and we will part ways on friendly terms, no hard feelings. I understand that sometimes opinions differ to the point of spoiling fun. So this is your "get out of jail free" card :)
