**Yookaroo** did have a point with this statement: “Or maybe I’m the only one that finds it kind of dumb to have a thread with spoiler warnings where you’re forced to read the thread (and spoilers) to figure out what is being spoiled. It’s only slightly less dumb to narrow what is being spoiled down to movies.” I find it silly and annoying myself that a thread about movies or TV in general will have some big huge lack box making some point that some people may never know because the spoiler wasn’t titled. Solution? Title the spoiler. Let us know at least the movie (or show or episode) the spoiler is about. For instance, in a thread about sci-fi movies, I might post this spoiler: Yeah! Just like when Data died in Nemesis. Now, someone has to actually OPEN the spoiler to even get the merest idea of what point I might be making. If I did this, tho: In Star Trek Nemesis, when Data dies we get a look at self sacrifice in action… Well, if someone doesn’t want a huge spoiler as to who sacrificed themself in Nemesis, they now know to avoid it. Data died, you know, for your sins. :dubious: ---

After Hendrix, Ravi Shankar closes the show. Bluto is elected to the Senate. The car flies away, and we never find out what’s in the trunk. Swann comes through in the clutch, and Stone gets the girl. The monster runs into powerlines and dies. The scientist gets the girl. The blob can’t stand cold. They refrigerate it, and drop it at the north pole. The one-eyed Viking buys it, and his corpse is launched on a burning boat. The killer is June Cleaver. Jack the Ripper falls down the elevator shaft, and gets squished by the elevator. Hedley Lamarr gets into a limo, saying, “Drive me off this picture.” Wallace and Ms. Ramsbottom decide it isn’t going to work out. Shane rides away forever; shut up, kid. Get over it. ---

Forgot to add: If the thread is about one show, one ep, or one movie, simply put a spoiler warning in the thread title. And make sure it’s obvious what show, ep, movie it is, too. Anyone who doesn’t want that particular subject spoiled gets what they deserve if they read that thread anyways. ---

It turns out that “Miranda” is a planet where the human colony failed due to a drug that was somehow introduced to the colony and turned about ten percent of the population into Reavers, while the rest were so passive they perished at the hands of the Reavers. ---

Not true, they just lay down and died. The Reavers did kill the scientists, though. Both of the little deer’s parents die, and he becomes King of the Forest. Cruella does not end up making puppy-fur coats. The bad are punished, and the good are married. Jane Austin exception - _everyone_ gets married, bad or good. ---

The Gunslinger winds up pretty much back at the beginning. After the four horsemen and the dragon and whatnot, good people wind up in heaven while the dogs, the sorcerers, the unchaste, the murderers, the idol-worshipers, and all who love and practice deceit don’t get in. ---

He’s still in the CIA. He finally dies (even tho he’s still Mecha). He doesn’t want to stay on the planet, and he gets the girl. (It’s a frickin’ LOVE STORY???) He is reborn as the space-baby. ---

The sheriff thinks _Ben’s_ a zombie so has a guy on his squad kill him. It never occurs to anyone that the ‘zombie’ they just felled has a rifle next to him and a bunch of zombies with .22 calibre holes in their foreheads all around and through the house. ---
