I would use a more choice verb than ‘Curse’ in the title, but this is not the pit.
So, the AVClub has really declined in quality since the parent company screwed up a lot that made the AVClub worthwhile-- I don’t know details but at one point I think they decreed that all their employees had to move to LA or be fired. And I believe there was quite a bit more general mismanagement.
Anyway, I still go there to browse when I have a few minutes, see what new streaming shows may be on the horizon that I may want to watch. I’ve also been avoiding all Better Call Saul season 6 spoilers, because we do not have AMC so I was attempting to wait until S6 showed up on Netflix.
And I just go to the AVClub, and the top feature article is about BSG’s last episode. I avoid even reading the title, but I can’t unsee the article picture; which is of Kim Wexler, with a different hairstyle, in black & white. So it’s clearly spoiling the biggest mystery in the ENTIRE series: what happened to Kim, who was, of course, not in one second of Breaking Bad? Did she die? Or is she alive and will appear again in Saul’s current Cinnabon manager life? Mystery spoiled, thanks to the m@th3rf*&%ing AVClub. WHYYY???!?
Why would an article about Battlestar Galactica have a photo of Kim Wexler? Shall I assume you meant to type BCS? Or does BSG refer to something I’m not cognizant of?
We learned Kim’s fate a few episodes ago. It’s not a spoiler for the finale. I think if you’re avoiding spoilers for a entire season of a TV show, the onus is on you to avoid a TV news website.
Yeah, if you didn’t want to read anything about Better Call Saul then maybe you shouldn’t have visited a TV entertainment/review site the day after the finale airs. Of course that would be the top story. This is on you.
OK, maybe so. But It just seemed to me showing a photo that clearly reveals Kim Wexler returns in the final episode, in the B&W Cinnabon present, would be a pretty egregious spoiler, even for those who had been watching S6 but hadn’t seen the final yet.
Ok, so maybe I did overreact in thinking the photo was a huge spoiler. And I guess it was unrealistic to think I could keep an entire final season of a popular show unspoilered until it finally got to a streaming service I subscribed to. Damn the increasing balkanization of streaming services and their complicated licensing agreements! Can I at least be mad about that?
Of course that would be the top story. This is on you.
