TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[heyzeus]

I mean, I knew Walt White would

[SHOW]

become a drug kingpin and die

before I ever watched the first episode of Breaking Bad. It was still a [expletive] awesome experience watching the show. I also knew Rosebud

[SHOW]

was a [expletive] sled

before I watched Citizen Kane, and it didn't cease being one of the best movies of all time.

Also, I can't fathom being unable to enjoy and be blown away by the confrontation scene between Jimmy and Chuck at the end of this week's episode simply because we know that Jimmy will wind up working at a Cinnabon in Omaha at some unspecified point in the future.

The importance of spoilers depends on the type of show IMO. I think specific plot points in Breaking Bad would suck to have spoiled. Gus for example. I kind of wish I hadn't read the books for Game of Thrones, because the plot drives a lot of that show.

I couldn't care less about Mad Men spoilers, because the plot isn't that important. Odd thing there is that Matt Weiner is the most tight lipped of all the show runners and his scenes from the next episode tell you absolutely nothing.

I think universally, it's better to just not spoil stuff. Whether or not you think it matters is totally subjective and will differ from the preference of whoever's viewing experience you're altering because for some reason you have a compulsive aversion to clicking your mouse once to add spoiler tags.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Onto BCS, i dont see how walt DOESNT make an appearance in BCS, simply because mike is in the show. I get that Walt was just another client of Saul, but judging from the very beginning of BCS, walt was perhaps his biggest client.

Patton Oswalt has the best take on this whole nonsense

It's such a terrible false equivalency. Noah's jokes were aiming right at Jews and fat women. He wasn't telling a nice innocent joke that a few people misconstrued. All this is, is someone who wants a job circling the wagons for someone else in the industry, and I'd expect nothing less.

Or as one of the commenters said, it's giving [expletive] to people who already get enough [expletive]; or "It's just lowest-common denominator humor, attacking those who are vulnerable for the amusement of those who are not."

How do you feel about the folks who go hunting through years of twitter in hopes of finding something embarrassing? They had to search through three years of this guy's tweets.

God, just typing the word "tweets" makes me feel dumb.

The events I talked about were on television programs that aired 3-4 years ago.

As noted above, Rosebud was his sled. Also, Darth Vader is Luke's father, Michael has Fredo killed, and Andy escapes from Shawshank Prison.

Yes, you're an [expletive] about spoilers. We've known this for a long, long time.

And, there are so many other stupid things.
