I have to say I find it amazing the lack of spoilers knocking about for Discovery eps! They must have pretty good script security at CBS these days! i'm not bothered but it is interesting! Personally I'm not a fan of spoilers, but I did use to enjoy getting a bit of advance non-spoiler 'buzz' about an approaching episode from those in the know! These days -Ted Sullivan may post a snippet of info about an ep two mins before that show airs on his twitter feed - in between his amusing Trump baiting! But that seems to be it! Still it can be good going into an ep completely cold, and some people don't even watch trailers for eps! I wonder what has happened to Trekspy?!
Lack of Spoilers
- Thread starter SJA
- Start date
Lack of spoilers is aweome. Not being able to peak ahead on the internet, while an ongoing arc unfolds before us, its like watching B5 all over again, and I suspect the handful of story threads will only get more complex.
The Klingons, the Vulcan separatists, the mirror verse, the dodgy technology. Things are heating up, and no one is spoiling it with a transatlantic review. Groovy.

I just decided long ago to say screw it, and not let spoilers make a difference to me.
It is unusual, especially for a show with hundreds of people working on it, and sets that overspill into other show's studios.
Same for us POMS mate!
I remember back in the late nineties visiting spoiler sites to read up on all the latest buffy and star trek spoilers
Man, those were good times.

Ent had to be the most spoiled up of the spinoffs. The show would send script sides to the casting agent, where someone there would copy and send them to some guy in the Netherlands (or something like that), and that guy would send copies of the sides to anyone who asked for them. He was real cool. The pages would have these big taped X's going through the dialogue, but we would always figure out what was happening. We were spoiled like 3 or 4 episodes in advance.
But in retrospect, I would never read spoilers again. It really took away some of the enjoyment ofseason 4. But I will say that being spoiled on TaTV actually helped me get through that thing.
^^In addition to all that, there was a sci-fi magazine being published at the time that has complete synopsis of the episodes due to air the month of publication, and by the end of the second season Berman and Braga themselves were actually providing detailed episode descriptions in their official interviews.
Indeed, you could get full episode synopses on almost everything ahead of time back then. And I remember being so into spoilers too. These days I avoid them for most things.
I remember getting the first few sides of the season four Ent ep I think it was called 'Home?' This was before it was filmed - What was on the page and what ended up being filmed was quite different!
Okay, for those who DO want to be spoiled, here's the inside scoop from my Secret CBS Sources™:
Tilly gets pregnant after the big party in the next episode... But who's the father?? This will be the main plot thread of season 2.
Also, Lorca is Future Guy.
