People who ruin TV shows and films are the lowest of the low

I don’t need to know that Dan was Gossip Girl the whole time


TV and film provide a great escape from the horrible, crippling banality of modern life. After working our mundane jobs, or studying for degrees we can’t afford one of the only things that keeps us sane is the thought of coming home, putting on some well-worn trackies and relaxing in front of some quality entertainment.

So when people ruin your favourite programmes and films, they are driving a dagger into the heart of your leisure time, your me time, your time for you. It’s like when the my friend told me that Jon Snow was actually alive or when a co-worker revealed that in series five of Mad Men, Lane Pryce kills himself. Just the other day actually, someone told me that Benjen Stark is alive and Bran stark is the new three eyed raven. Just madness.

Nothing compared to the heartbreak I felt when, before I had watched Fight Club, someone in my seminar told me that Tyler Durden is a hallucination and actually Edward Norton is suffering from some sort of multiple personality disorder.
