Yeah, I saw that coming. I noticed the "I saw Agendas but didn't understand what they were saying" thing and headdesked. There was plenty more. But there've always been "just wait another week, idiot" questions. Now they just contain spoilers.

I think it's okay to watch them if you really want to. I originally didn't, but I was spoiled big time (as in "this happens in Agendas:"; though he was wrong on a couple of things) and thought what the heck. For people outside the US, who don't actually get to watch it on television, but rely on torrents, newsgroups or streaming, it's not that different - just the language (but they're subbed now). I've been reading subs since I was a kid.

If you're active on other parts of the Net (as has been noted: tumblr, DeviantArt, youTube, fanfic sites) you run a major risk of getting spoiled. Even the wiki isn't safe; but we're reverting what we can.

It's a problem, as viewers (both US and foreign) have the right to not wanting to be spoiled. Some people who watched the dubs are leaking assholes who think telling the world about what's going to happen is helpful; some are just clueless; and some have taken the bullet to protect the others.

As for blaming CN; I'm doing it (though I'm not using it as an excuse). It took them 14 months to air 21 episodes. That other countries have a tighter schedule was inevitable, and no matter the head start, daily airings will overtake CN's schedule in a matter of weeks.
