Chloe's had three interoffice romances in the past 2 years:) That's probably the 4th thing we couldn't believe.
I a little upset with Rush. Of course, he saw the 1st 8 episodes. And he technically didn't TELL us what would actually happen.
But when you already know what is going to happen, and you tell everybody that "they won't believe" stuff, or "wait for the last 10 minutes, it will shock you", that's really spoiling things for everybody.
When Jack was holding the gun on Curtis,we all KNEW Curtis was going to be killed. Why? Because we were all told by Rush, and also by several people on this thread who do read spoilers, that we should be prepared for something really bad that would upset us.
That kind of takes away the shock of the moment. I'm betting the 24 people are a little sorry they let Rush have the stuff ahead of time, they work hard to really shock us but how can they shock us if people are going to spoil it by telling us we'll be shocked?
Another thing that people don't realise are spoilers -- if you already KNOW what is going to happen, you shouldn't tell people they are wrong if they guess what's going to happen next and they are wrong. We could argue over whether people should guess or not, but if someone guesses something, probably others are also thinking it, and the show probably was set up to make us think it. So then we are surprised later.
But if a person who we all know KNOWS exactly what is going to happen tells us the guess is wrong, then we know that's not going to happen. Knowing that something the show was alluding to is NOT going to happen is as much of a spoiler as knowing what IS going to happen.
Like I said, this is just stuff a lot of people don't think of when they think "spoilers", it's not a criticism of anybody, just a friendly reminder. I'm sure everybody watching this, especially those who have been intimitely involved, will understand that we all just want to make this as enjoyable for everybody as possible, and will take this to heart, and not take it as an attack and react harshly.
You all have seen a lot of "NO SPOILER" banners posted by many of the regulars here -- again, they aren't yelling at people (at least not those who are first-time offenders), they are all just trying to make sure everybody remembers, no spoilers please.
I think it's been great so far except of course for Drudge which caused a couple people to actually say "Nuke", and for those people who, thinking they were simply being kind to us and "preparing us for the worst", actually spoiled the end of the show -- if the producers were worried about their audience being too shocked, the producers would have let us know ahead of time (like Rowling did in the HP runnup), but they didn't because they WANTED us to expect the bomb would be stopped, so we'd be shocked when it wasn't -- but we couldn't be shocked because we were told by Rush and others that we WOULD be shocked.
I will say this though -- for those who didn't remember Rush saying "4 things", I think AFTER Curtis got killed some people figured THAT was the "shocking thing" and weren't ready for the Nuke.
