Spoiler issues for the TV Chat Group on DU3 [View all]

I thought it might be a good idea to get some idea of how people feel about spoilers. Specifically, I am curious how people feel about spoilers when it involves TV shows based on previously published printed material, like the Sookie Stackhouse novels (HBO's True Blood series) or the Fire and Ice novels (HBO's Game of Thrones series).

I personally do not want to have anything spoiled. I have not read these books and probably will not until after the season that they are based on ends. (I have started the first of the Fire and Ice novels) I prefer to watch the shows without any idea as to what will happen. I understand in both cases there have been departures from the books, some significant and others minor. Thats true in most cases.

I am hoping we can all agree not to discuss any spoilers of any type unless the thread title specifically mentions that spoilers will be discussed. But I am open to any ideas on the topic. I'd like to hear what others think as well. Hope you are all enjoying the new format. I like it.
