It’s a public holiday here in Malaysia today and I’m settling down for a nice spot of Sherlock catching up.\u00a0This past couple of weeks has been an excellent one for Sherlock fans as Series 3 airs in the UK and ends as quickly as a flash in the pan. I think it’s just the BBC that makes such short 3 episode series – who does that, especially with such a popular series?! Honestly BBC! \ud83d\ude1b I just got hold of the new episodes myself so I’m going to savour them. Slowly, like a delicious morsel of truffle chocolate \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
But complaints aside, while the final episode airs, and Series 3 opens up in the USA, I see a lot of people complaining about spoilers; and this is true for any popular TV series. No one likes spoilers… or do they? How do you feel about spoilers? Do they spoil things for you?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m probably one of those people who doesn’t care about spoilers. I guess I’m impatient that way so I don’t mind knowing what happens next or what happens at the end, because if I enjoy watching a particular TV show or movie I will watch it till the end, regardless of what I know.<\/p>\n
Same with books. Sometimes I’m patient and good and plod through a book page by page till I get to the end. Quite often I don’t. I’d start off a book and about a third of the way in, I’d flip to the end to see what happens. More so if it’s a thriller. I just want to know what happens to the protagonist or the villain or if there is a twist in the tale.<\/p>\n
I suppose I just can’t wait for that twist in the tale to come naturally LOL! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
And it’s the same for me with TV series that I watch. I watch a few and quite often, I come across a series a little late in the day so there is usually a lot of information online already about the storyline and I’m not above taking a little peek now and again just to see how the story develops. Again, I guess you could say I have no patience \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
Sometimes, knowing how a book ends makes it easier for me because I have a bad habit of wanting to finish a book in one sitting, if it’s exciting and considering I read before bed, it isn’t a good thing. I need my beauty sleep LOL! So knowing how it ends makes it easier for me to put it down.<\/p>\n
I do, a lot of the time so I usually know how storylines develop or how a book ends before I get there. So for me, a “Spoiler” doesn’t spoil things for me because I still savour the journey getting to that ending. What say you? Does coming across a spoiler piss you off? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
