Spoilers

[ciphergoth]

Someone should invent a calibrated standard scale by which spoilers can be measured, something like the Beaufort or Richter scales so you could just write "Level 1 spoiler ahead for Battlestar Galactica webisode The Face of the Enemy" and people would know what you meant...

And how could I forget to link to Penny Arcade 2005-12-05: As Regards Spoilification

Of course, Toy Story 2 is a huge spoiler for that.

Charles M Schultz (in the persona of Lucy van Pelt (?sp Peldt?)) spoilered Citizen Kane for me years ago. Not that it matters that much, since it's the most overrated film of all time.

In the story, though, it was a deliberately cruel act: she told Linus while he was watching the film for the first time.

Penny Arcade's 'statute of limitations' point is a fair one, but there will always be someone who hasn't seen any work. Almost anything about BSG would be a spoiler for me, but only if I ever get round to seeing it.

Citizen Kane - me too!
