ash48Man I need cheering up. I have no idea why I am feeling so sad and pissed off with everything but I am. I should be extra excited as it was my last day of work today and I am starting a two week holiday but I'm feeling kinda yuk.
Also, I am finding it really hard to remain spoiler free. I want to see all those promos and previews and particularly the chats with Carver but I also want to remain oblivious to what's going to happen. Ack.. but I want to be prepared!! But I also want to get excited about things that might be coming that will make me excited! Arghhh.... *head explodes*
I am REALLY scared that I am going to be completely disappointed and it's making me stressed. (And yeah.. I know...it's only a TV show yada yada, but it's MY TV show and I want them to do well and I want to LOVE IT! I want to squee and be excited and see the light at the end of the dark tunnel that has been much of S8).
But I love you show and I'm on your side! You can do it!
(I was going to rant about world events but this might not be the place. I will say YAY New Zealand! Let's hope Australia can follow your lead one day - and the rest of the world. Though if a simple gun law amendment can't be passed I don't hold out much hope...).

Okay, I may be dating myself with that comment. Ray Stevens? "The Streak?"
You need a laugh. Here ya go.
But, seriously, my friend says it best. Her reasons for avoiding spoilers and even preview trailers is that she wants her viewing experience to Be All It Can Be. I love reading spoilers and looking at pics but I know, for me, there is a HUGE trade-off.
My past has borne this out over and over, even with books that I have read before seeing the movie vs. the other way around.
I do know what you mean, though, about being prepared. No one wants to be blindsided, either, and I can think of a few examples of where I was glad I was spoiled. However, those few instances really cannot compare to the number of times the impact of an episode has been really compromised by my inability to stay away.
I am now 8 days in to my spoiler free zone and it is HARD!!!!!! I think it will be worth it.
But, oh, give me strength!

Stay strong! We can do it!!
