Why Spoliers Are Awesome

No, not the ones on the back of a car silly.

Things like books, movies, TV shows I can not watch the first go around unless I know what is going to happen. I actively go to TV tropes, wiki links and pages of that nature to find exactly what is going down in the next episode.

I understand this is a hard thing for normal people to grasp but I will try to explain it the best I know how.

With book adaptations it is easy. I read the book then go see the movie or show. Game of Thrones is an excellent example. After I heard the TV series follows the book almost to the letter. I made sure to read all the way up to the current volume and then start the series. As such, I am a season behind everyone but it is okay.

Just plain TV series not based on a book, let us say Supernatural. I wait for the mid season break before going through my DVR to watch all the episodes because by that time they have all the episode summaries up on the wiki page.

And with the books themselves, I try to wait until the entire series comes out and I listen to what people have to say about and read the synopsis online. That is the reason I was able to avoid the whole Divergent series.

I won't go see a movie opening night because I have to wait for someone to post the entire thing so I know exactly what will happen. And speaking of movies, I feel that way with The Fault in Our Stars. I mean seriously. It's a book about two cancer patients. How do you think it's going to end!? Why would I want to subject myself to that emotional trauma?

And the reason I have to do this is it gives me a level of control I wouldn't have otherwise. I know who to get attached to and who not to. I feel like I have level ground to stand on when I have things planned out. I know it's weird but that's best way to phrase it. I just need that organized, planned constant in my life.
