What is with them lately?! I expect occasional spoilers in articles for shows about things happening on the show in the near future, but they’ve been spoiling things as far away as February in news sections and other articles that have nothing to do with specific shows, so you have no warning that there will be spoilers in something unexpected. In the past three weeks I’ve learned: On **Charmed** Holly Marie Combs’ real-life pregnancy is being written into the show. They’ll annouce that Wyatt is going to have a brother or sister during February sweeps. This one got mentioned last week and the week before. And on **Angel** Cordy is going to wake up, meaning Joss got his wish for at least one cameo. I hate spoilers, so this is bugging me, the way the-trailer-gives-away-the-ending spots bother people about movies. Knock it off! ---

I think my favorite was one for _Memento_, which said something like… A man tries to figure out who he is in a movie that plays in reverse order. Which is, like, the entire point of the movie.
