THE MORE I think about it the more this makes sense. The next logical step after suing your customers like the RIAA, and seeding malware or tracker torrents to combat piracy could just be ... self spoiling?
So I had a late meeting last night. Which means I wasn't home to watch HOUSE, which is one of the few network shows I watch every week. In fact, now that baseball's back, I can think of nothing more relaxing than flipping between HOUSE and four or five baseball games. Mmmm. Cool down the head at the end of day.
Now if you're a HOUSE person or a habitue´of the gossip rags, you'll know that there was a rather big and surprising happening on HOUSE last night. Which was spoiled for me at roughly 12:01 A.M. EST (or one MINUTE after the show ended on the west coast) in an email, and a Facebook message I got on my phone. Sigh. Perils of the modern world.
...Except...
What if it's not? What if this is a grand, concerted effort to make sure we all watch shows off air again? "The Only Way to Stay Safe From Spoilers -- Watch As It Happens!" I can see the Soviet style propaganda posters now.
I imagine squads of poorly paid peons dropping truth bombs from deep within the FOX complex in a bunker in Phoenix.
"Tivo THIS, you anti-market based hippie." Darth Vader = Luke's father. Ha ha ha hah ha!
Could happen.

Yeah I know what you mean. I was watching the ncaa championship and watching 24 during the commercials on the dvr. I thought House, which I also had on the DVR from earlier could wait (I was watching Black Freighter when it was on). Well turns 24 was a holding pattern and I probably wouldn't have been spoiled but the House episode with its character leaving to join the Obama administration made the news.
Too bad, I would have loved not to have known. First act break too; man David Shore is good.
Not only was the Kal Penn storyline terrific - but so too the O Henry-like story of the dying couple. And you just waited the whole episode for Taub to break down.
