i have a friend who reads all of the spoilers and learns as much as he can before he actually watches the episode. i dont know how he pulls it off without ruining everything for himself, but he seems to enjoy it either way. as much as i would like to invest more time into it and learn more about what im actually getting myself into and where it comes from (the real story) i take pride in the show itself and tend to make up my own expansions of the story based on what im shown. i enjoy that they arent following the comic. that would only lead people who are hardcore into the comic to critique and downgrade the quality of the story telling in the series. i dont want that.
