Can You Keep a Secret?

The past couple of weeks, there’ve been rumors circulating on the internet about a major character on a popular television show that was going to commit suicide. It was going to be an out-of-the-blue shocker, and folks were putting forth their theories on who they thought it would be and why. Now, I only watch a few shows, so I was fairly sure I would miss it, and didn’t give it much thought.

As it happened, I missed all of my favorites this week while caught up in other things. I’ve been busy with some freelance work, so I haven’t even gotten a chance to peruse the web sites I usually go to. Grabbing a quick break, I went to one of the political sites I frequent to find out what people were complaining about today, and clicked on an article that caught my eye.

The fucking author had a spoiler about the suicide! And yes, it’s on one of the shows I watch.

I had been looking forward to catching up on my shows later on this week, but that’s completely ruined now. When I watch that episode, all I’ll be thinking is “When will it happen?”

I’d really like to slap that writer. You don't give away major surprises. Ever. Selfish bastard.

Grrrrrrrr.
