I feel this. I’m the type of person who will willingly go on Twitter (even though I hate Twitter) just to find spoilers for whatever show I’m watching. Back when Castle was on, I visited TVLine almost every day looking to see if they had an article on what was going to happen in the next season.

I also frequently refuse to read a fanfiction if I don’t know going in what pairing the author intends to ship. I’ve been burned too many times by a surprise Hermione/Draco or a Harry/Voldemort/Snape triad. I think it’s why I often times have a hard time finishing books that I’m otherwise enjoying. I get so worried that the author is going to fuck it up somewhere before the end, my mind thinks it is better to stop while the story is still good.

I have been known to skip to the end of a book just to read the ending just so I know if I’m going to like it or not.

I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t even start a new TV show unless I know it has a proper ending. None of this “canceled after season three” nonsense. I’ve been hurt before. I’m still not over Firefly.

This too is something I hate. For me, the series was Las Vegas. It ended on a cliff hanger and was then cancelled. I’ve never forgiven NBC and haven’t watched a single episode on that network since.

Now, I just don’t watch TV at all until the series is over. I did that recently with Lucifer. I’m not going to invest my time in a series until I know if the story is not only going to be finished, but finished well.
