What Do you Think About Lost Spoilers?

There are a slew of Lost spoilers and Lost spoiler sites on the internet. I have even posted a piece on the Oceanic 6 (spoiler alert) on this site. Unfortunately, with people being people, spoilers are becoming a huge trend.

What do you think about spoilers? I remember distinctly reading ~~a little~~ way too much about the Season 3 finale last year. I was so excited that I scoured the web in hopes of finding as many secrets as I could. I gloated about how much I knew, and I smiled sardonically every time one of my “dirty little secrets” played out on the television. When all was said and done, it was the least fun I have had while watching an episode of lost.

I have tried to be more conservative in the secret knowledge that I have digested this time around. A big part of my love of Lost was because of the twists, turns, and the WTF moments. When I knew all of the secrets, that magic was gone. Keep in mind, the smug “I know what’s next.” feeling was pretty good, but it paled in comparison to the excitement of shock.

What do you think about spoilers? Are spoilers even responsible, or do they cramp the writing? Should I continue to post spoilers on this site? If I do, I will hide the meat of the spoiler behind a link.

One thing is for sure, you won’t see any more spoilers about episode 4.1. The Season Premier is tomorrow, and I just want to enjoy it - twists, turns, and shocking revalations. I may know who the Oceanic 6 are, but that is all I know. With later episodes, unless I hear otherwise, I might just post the dish here on The Lost blog.

Spoilers should be implemented in any TV show as deep as LOST is. They are out there for those who can’t wait. Although i am a huge fan, i avoid all contact with spoilers. One question though, where did you get that picture for your banner on the top of your site. i would love to have it as my wallpaper. Ty!
