I thought this was a no spoiler thread?

The spoilers are hidden. Feel free not to click them.

Read back through the thread, the OP doesn't mind.


I'm not bothered, but it would be interesting to see where you get your info from.
You could put the links in your spoiler tags.

I get it from thespoilingdead group on facebook.
First, I thought they were just talking out of their behinds, but it is legit.

I am posting the link to the page, but I dont know if you have to be a member to read it.
But, be careful if you dont want to know.
Everything is spoiled, there is a detailed synopsis of the next episode.

Here you go

From now on, I will post my spoilers in the tagged thread.

I've seen that site. They are not always 100% though.

That may be. I have only experienced them to be correct, but I have only been a member for five weeks.

I thought I was alone in the world loving spoilers, so for me it was nice to see others with this bizzare behaviour

My only surprise death in WD was Axel in series three.

I prefer to watch something twice, the first time blind as the makers intended, the second time I know what to look out for.

I really wish that I, just for once, could do that. But I am too nosy.
I knew the ending of The Sixth Sense before I saw it. Knowing he was made the movie much better.

I think

I keep well away from all spoilers if possible though I have mistakenly looked on this thread Sunday night before I watched the episode here in the UK My fault of course however would you mind not putting names and making comments about the spoiler. I really like Morgan and am now assuming something bad is going to happen to him. I'd really rather know nothing in advance thanks.

The problem with spoilers is the assumption that what is in the spoiler tag is an actual spoiler.

...I don't see the problem with spoilers myself as its quite easy for me to not come to this thread until the most current episode has aired in the UK. People should really do the same if they want to avoid them - its really not that difficult.....

That's all well and good, if posts are about the previous Episode, trevor tiger is referring to a post about something that will make you hate a particular character, who was them named without a spoiler tag.

X2

Except the liking Morgan bit.

But if people are going to do spoilers then could they have the good grace to put the entire thing in spoiler tags and not hint at the content.

I did think having a separate spoiler in tags thread was silly but now I'm starting to understand why.

Indeed, this thread should be for purely talking about the latest episodes, maybe sharing ideas of how you think they might get past something, but anyone who has inside knowledge of upcoming episodes really should not be putting it in this thread, whether in spoiler tags or not, just my opinion.

I feel we have had this discussion before, but who in reality on this forum would have this info?
It's a long way to go, I'm just going to take each episode as it comes, 'spoilers' or no 'spoilers'.

I'm one of those people...there's nothing wrong in admitting that a TV show isn't entertaining you anymore, and sharing those thoughts on a forum about said programme. The Walking Dead isn't some kind of competition to see who will stick with it the longest.

Yes, something attracted their attention away from Glenn!

I'm the same, regarding the names. I figure I'll learn them if I hear them enough or the character has enough impact on the show for them to become pivotal, even for a short period of time. I'm too old to learn every name



This is not a complaint, I have nothing against spoilers whatsoever. My question is - what do spoilers do for you and others who seem to seek out every little bit of information about this show (and other shows being watched) before it's aired. What does that do for you?

Is it that you just can't wait to find out what's going to happen?

Is it that you enjoy feeling you have 'insider knowledge' that the average viewer doesn't have or seek out? I know there's a large community of people who do this, I always presumed it's a kind of kudos/one-upmanship thing.

Is it that you don't really enjoy or are unable to simply watch a TV show and letting it happen as it happens?

Is it just that you're young and feel the impatience of youth that everything MUST happen before it happens, that you become bored after 10 seconds without any action?

Are you the same at the cinema, fidgety and unable to sit through 90 minutes of film?

I have always been curious as to what motivates a person to spoil something for themselves, to be unable to just watch something unfold as it does and just enjoy it as it happens. I'd love to know your thoughts, I'm genuinely curious

As I said, I have nothing against spoilers, I still enjoy the show whether I know what's going to happen in advance or not, I just choose not to seek out the information myself - I'm not quite that desperate, for want of a better word (no offence intended!)

What is it YOU get out of spoilers?

Well, apparently Versailles does, wherever they are getting them from, they seem confident they are true, and putting a spoiler in spoiler tags is one thing, but they mentioned someone by name without tags, which has upset a few people, as they are now looking out for it, they may not know what it is, but they now have knowledge something will happen to this person, or this person is going to do something.

How do you know it made the movie much better, as you have robbed yourself of the big reveal at the end, which is one of the best parts of the film.

I wish they would have had the balls to kill Glenn off, but the way they handled it, it was obvious at the end of e03 that he hadn't been eaten.

I hope Carl gets it in the next episode - He is sooooo annoying. As is Eugene. Not sure which I hate the most.

Still love watching this programme.

TWD is leaking a lot of spoilers. I like speculating about what will happen, whether it's someone who has read the comics or not (semi-spoilerish although they are technically different stories so I don't mind that sort of "do you think they'll use this scene in the tv show?" and "will another character do what x did in the comic?"), but not if people are just reeling off spoilers verbatim. I'm also worried that if my own speculation ever hits the mark then people will think I'm spoiling too. Half the fun is speculating though....for me anyway.

I love a bit of speculating, but I've managed to remain relatively unspoiled since the Sophia/barn zombies reveal. That would have been far more rewarding if I hadn't seen the pictures beforehand.

Agree that putting someone's name before a spoiler is very bad form, whether anything happens to them or not.

(still remembers the entire series of Danger UXB being spoiled because someone told me Anthony Andrews died at the end)

Yeah, it shouldn't be a big deal. I had thought this back at the end of season 2. The farm gets over-run by walkers, but it's fine: they just retreat and wait for them to move on, then return. The walkers won't even do much damage. If they don't move on, distract them and lead them away. There's no need to try to kill them all. You have vehicles.

They didn't figure that out then, but by the time the prison got over-run, they had. They even had a bus prepped and ready, so they could load all the old folk into it and evacuate them. I don't think they had a secure place, but they did have rendezvous pre-arranged.

This time around, they've forgotten all that. They don't even have a single vehicle within the walls. This goes beyond stupidity to inconsistency. Just as they forget the cover-yourself-with-gore trick whenever the plot needs it.

Still, the show's always been like this. On the positive side, it was nice to see Rick being pulled up on his bullshit, by Michonne and by Tara. And that kid: as he said, there was no point in him coming to Rick with an idea because Rick wouldn't listen to anything from an Alexandrian.


You know that lots of people from the first episode have died, right? Some of them were around for a long while before it happened.

I have been like this all my life, and since I am a 48 year old woman, I am unlikely to get better. My eldest daughter is 25 and hates spoilers, and I respect that, so we discuss WD when we both have seen it.

In other aspects of life, I have no curiousity or impatience whatsoever.

I hate surprises, though, so it may come from that.

Regarding the feeling of inside knowledge. No. I am an extremely private person, and I do not seek approval from strangers on the internet. My facebook is empty, and I hate the desperate need for attention some people show. My motives were for sharing, in case anyone was interested.
