Spoiler Accuracy

[Erin_Kelzo]

Just my 2 cents -- when you enter a "SPOILER" forum you have to know that you are going to be reading about info pulled from all over the net. Some of this info is going to be spot on, some not. The show gets changed around in production, false storylines are leaked to dissuade overeager fans etc... It's not like all this information certified by the writers to be totally 100% accurate...

There are alot of cool people in this forum who go out of thier way to keep the rest of us updated on rumors, leaks, etc... These people put thier time and energy into informing the rest of us because they are big fans too.
Instead of bashing them, we should all say "thank you".

I tend to Ignore the n00bs with like 9 posts who pop in bashing peeps with 700 posts whom i have "known" on here for 2 1/2 seasons.

I don't think tigerk7 wanted to offend anyone because he knows that it can be very frustrating to be attacked for postings/comments (see discussion at DarkUFO's site). I think he just wanted to motivate people to write theories. But the discussion heated up a bit...

However, I totally agree with Bunny Suction. It's called 'spoilers' and not 'facts of future episodes' . I personally don't care if the producers finally change the flashback of an episode.

jvince, you're doing a real great job here! Thank you!

Thank you. You are right I didn't come here to upset people. My post was just to point out how much the spoiler leakage is interpretted totally wrong. I mean spoiler info like what flashback scenes there will be or who a new casting member could be. But what I saw was specific info on episode 1, 2, 3 and so on. Who would be the centric-character of a certain expisode, the title and parts of the plot, it was 80% wrong from the spoiler page.

Yes, 80% wrong I didn't think so either, when I read spoilers and then a few months pass not many people go back to see how accurate the spoilers were. But, I did that day and was amazed at how wrong they were, then I realized that this information was based on casting info and such and then sometimes heated discussions can arise about certain parts of the spoiler (that could be entirely wrong)

So I kind of saw it as a complete waste of time in that respect...BUT, being on the Lost-detox-wagen, I still read them lol.

His point.. and appropriately so is that you don't learn squat reading the spoiler forums anyways. So you, and everybody else who reads them don't really have a choice but to watch the show as it unfolds.

Pretty much all major reveals the last two seasons have not been uncovered before that episode aired. So sorry. Its really just an exercise in trying to convince yourself you got inside information when you don't.
