Meta-spoilers

Though article talks about spoilers, it doesn’t contain any.

When the last (fourth) season of Game of Thrones was running and everyone feared for Tyrion’s head, I realized he isn’t going to die. Not that Martin wouldn’t kill him – I just know if he was dead in the books, I’d surely have run into a spoiler by now.

That got me thinking about how weird it is: just because a show is as popular as GoT, the mere absence of spoilers is a spoiler in itself. (Especially if you wander around 9gag and other, darker corners of the ‘net, where there’s always plenty of willing trolls, spamming spoilers in the comment section.)

I’m glad most of the shows I watch aren’t this popular.
