Cause it wouldn't be Wed. without Smallville wank!
Just a tiny wank to celebrate the premiere of SV s4. WARNING: Here there be spoilers! Or not. Whatever.

So, in the ongoing drama between 'those who must not be spoiled!!!' and those who say 'WTF' (sort of like the knights who say 'Ni!', but with more bloodshed)-

tigress35 posts icons, with the label "Presents for the premiere!" One of the icons is of a character who may- or may not- be dead.

shaggirl takes offense - "So I take it X's going to be in Season 4? Fuck. I think I'm going to have to filter you. Sorry." And posts about it in her LJ here- warning other spoiler-phobes to stay away.

But how, drkcherry asks, does the presence of an icon with a character in it spoil you? In short- how does one know that it means a character will necessarily not be dead? Easy- one goes searching through casting photos for proof it's a new picture of someone who will be a regular in s4. Obviously, it's a spoiler!

ultimatemother also chimes.

I love my big wanky fandom! Breaks out the booze in anticipation of premiere!

You're missing the good stuff.

Shaggirl is really mad, because she had to go prove she was being spoiled by totally ambiguous pictures, so she spoiled herself by digging around a spoiler site to see if she could find the pictures.

I have no words, unless "ROFLMAO" is a word now.

Jeesh- go away for an hour, miss the good stuff!! And yea, I think what tends to crack me up about these wanks is that a good percent of the time, if someone didn't yell 'OMG! That's a SPOILER!!!', people who weren't already spoiled would have no freaking idea it was a spoiler. I mean, damn, I'd have to look pretty hard to figure out that Chloe icon was a spoiler- and I really don't think I could figure it out if I weren't already spoiled!

Yeah, I remember the return of Whitney (and the foiler about his being taken in by friendly natives). I wouldn't put it past M & G to get new promo pics of her just to throw people off...and then have her show up only in flashbacks.

(Having said that, M&GHADBETTERNOTKILLHEROMG.)

Clearly your new posting policy is not compatible with my level of unspoiledness.

"unspoiled"

The whiny one keeps using this word. I do not think it means what she thinks it means.

Sounds like someone's overdue for nap time!

You know, the Smallville people are the most anal anti-spoiler people in all of fandom. I swear. It's ridiculous.

"I want to know absolutely nothing about the upcoming season! Nothing! Nothing at all, damn you, including that which is on billboards across the country, magazine ads, and commercials! I will completely cut myself off from the world, including not watching tv, not reading magazines, not listening to the radio, and not driving anywhere in order to avoid what's happening on a tv show this fall! And I demand that all of fandom bow down to my wishes!"

What. the. fuck.

In any other fandom these people would be bitchslapped so fast... there's warning for spoilers, and then there's being positively ridiculous.

I want to be able to randomly and innocently flip through channels at 8PM on Wednesdays, and stumble upon the WB, and be like, "Hey! There's a character named Clark Kent on this show! And a bald guy named Lex!... I wonder if it's about Superman?"

I want to do that and then have my memory wiped so I can do it again the next week!

You know, honestly, if people are so averse to encountering anything having remotely to do with Smallville that they think the fact that a given actress exists on the face of the Earth is a spoiler for the show, why don't they just... you know, not watch it?

Personally, I always thought that we were so crazy about spoilers is because we know the Ultimate Spoiler. Because, see, Clark Kent is Superman. And Lex Luthor? Totally his evil enemy. So to compensate for knowing the ending of the story, everyone decided to be really anal about the tiny, insignificant spoilers.

Yes, we know the Ultimate Spoiler, at least those of us who actually read something other then magazines. There's a whole generation out there who have no clue who Christopher Reeve is, or what he did in the movies that made Superman great.

Sad, so sad.

Yes, like the fact that Lex likes to wear purple and *shockhorror* molest expensive bottles of water.
Like the fact that Lana's parents are *faints* deader than a Jennifer Love Hewitt concert.
Like the fact that Clark may *gasp* have superpowers and not end up with Lana *double gasp*

How twelve is this fandom?

If only. From what I've seen the only thing they do is hunt down Internet spoilers that aren't encrypted, concealed and sekritly encoded to their satisfaction so they can go all 'splodey-headed about it.

And I demand that all of fandom bow down to my wishes!"

Now this they do. A lot.

I just dont get what BFD was. It was just some icons and it all got blown out of proportion. SV fandom is full of some beeyotches sometimes,myself included.

I really like the part where people who claim to be spoiler-phobic talk about how they knew that the Chloe pic was a new promo pic because they'd analyzed and compared, and hers had the same background as the (presumably also spoilery) Annette O'Toole promo shots, which they... had not only already seen, but analyzed the background of, blown it up on their computer screens for analytical purposes, etc?

It makes me wish Shatner had a recurring role on Smallville so that he could scream "GET A LIFE!!" at these people.

I sometimes send this off to people when it doesn't seem like Shatner is ever going to be a guest star:

wait wait so the cliffhanger at the end of the third season might not be real and they're not replacing every member of the cast with new people since they're all dead?

Well, fuck. I have no reason to watch now. I been spoiled!

I'm currently kicking myself because I missed the season premire. I had missed it last season, too, so I was all prepared to watch it. But then we had to go out to dinner, and the tape didn't record it. ::Cries.::

Can anyone give me a summary of what happened? I don't want to be lost 'til it is ran on reruns.

(Uh... sorry, don't watch it, and I'm in Australia anyway. This fandom scares me.)

LOLOL [info]catmoran apparently believes that being spoiled for a TV show is analogous to someone running you over with their car.
