Aieee. I want to lobby, but I can't even decide which way to lobby. I adore the I'm Batman quote, but the Henriksen quote makes my breath hitch every time. It's so damned sad. So damned too late. Best of intentions, and everything.

I hope he got a good heaven...

I can lobby someone else to vote for Batman, but I couldn't make myself do it. My vote had to acknowledge Henriksen. Just had to.

I’m kind of purposefully staying away from codas about what happens after the dinner scene. The chances of SHOW picking up on that same thread that is in a coda are so extreme that I just can’t set myself up like that to knowingly have it go somewhere else. I don’t want to make up my mind to hate Season Six before it even starts.

“It’s a new dawn. It’s a new day.”

Also going to totally be a spoiler whore this year. I have to do it to have time to deal with any disappointment or surprises before they air. Especially if this is the last year. Those are so traumatic for me.

I am spoiler-free. Always have been. I don't mind if it seems like fair game, like the preview for next week or something, but I don't want to know important plot points, or surprise guest stars, or major arcs. I love being unprepared.

I don't skip ahead to the end in books, either, though.

I am aspiring to be Amy. I have been spoiler-free so far and will endeavor to stay as such.

I've just always been that way? I found the interwebs too far into Buffy and Angel, for one thing, and I don't think back then I would have known such a thing as a spoiler was available.

So I just avoid a lot of places over the summer.

I don't skip ahead to the end in books, either, though.

In this we are the same. For two shows though it is not possible. Angel and Supernatural had and have me too invested to see it first. Now, Lost, I could watch and if flying monkeys came down and captured them for a big song and dance, I would have been okay saying, "huh."

I just worry about this so much it makes my stomach churn if I don't already know what is going to happen. Note that I know this is insane-o. I was able to be surprised for most of season 5 just fine, but then again, I knew there was a season 6. If we get word of a season 7, then I will go back to being mostly pure. mostly.

I have already pressed ahead for casting news. I'm not sure how much more I will do. Basically, if for any reason one person should tell me, I'll listen for sure. Everywhere else, I'll had to make a case-by-case.

But I don't want to be a spoiler ho during the year. Skipping ahead with teaser clips or episode names or maybe even ep descriptions (TV Guide style) is the most I'd do, and ep descriptions is more than I'd likely do.

Theresa, I swear 90% the codas are the same. Some are written better than others, but as far as I could tell, most of them ignore Sam at the window and have a politely dysfunctional Dean/Lisa. Stir and taste...

I haven't seen that many Dean/Castiel fixits--I could do with some of that complete fantasy.

Angel and Supernatural had and have me too invested to see it first.

Part of it for me, though, is that I want to put off *disappointment* as long as possible. If it's bad, I don't want to know now, because right now I can still imagine all the lovely ways it *could* go if I were the boss of everything.
