No spoilers for me,ever. Mostly because the show always surprised me. If it had become predictable I would have looked.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Beth is me. plus, I remember the first big spoiler that I knew (Angel turning human) and I spent the ep waiting for it to happen, I couldn't really enjoy the show until it happened.

I thought the Torez spoiler was about Spike turning up on Angel, right? Or possibly about Spike getting his soul back. I'm pretty sure it wasn't about Buffy returning in season 6, because... we all pretty much assumed that was going to happen.
The Office and Doctor Who are the shows that I care about getting spoiled for these days, and even with those I don't care nearly as much about certain kinds of spoilers, casting and the like.

I think casting spoilers for Doctor Who is the fun part. They really pull in some good guest stars and it's fun trying to guess what kind of a role they're going to play.
I started watching Buffy with season 6 and at first I jumped on spoilers like a kid in a candy shop. But once I realized it really was reducing the HSQ moments for me, I tried to stop. I didn't completely succeed. But for season 7 the only real spoilers I remember knowing were for "Chosen." It was a dramatic enough episode that I didn't care that I knew Anya was going to die and that Spike was going up in a blaze of glory. That was stuff that you really didn't need to have spoilers to know, they were more or less givens.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought the Torez spoiler was about Spike turning up on Angel, right?
Pretty sure this was it, b/c I'm now vaguely remembering that it was "the Torez spoiler" that led to the creation of the summer casting spoiler rules.

That was one casting spoiler that was hard to miss. Especially if you watched the WB. They were advertising JM's addition to Angel before Buffy was even over.

I'm pretty sure the Torez spoiler was earlier than that

Was it about Spike getting a soul? Because I googled "torez spoiler" and got this WX Buffy thread, which seems to be from S6, around "Wrecked": [link]

Art Crawl!!!
From the archive - Nora wondering (in Feb of 02) if the Torez spoiler has happened - and Victor saying that it had not yet.
So - Spike gets a soul? or Buffy dies?
Ha! retro-Buffista expost!
