Spoiling TV btw is kinda infinitely wrong. Fewer ppl watch tv shows during initial runs & with more time invested, ppl seem to realize that spoiling tv is a complete non starter. Besides, thankfully it's also more difficult to spoil tv series when newbies have no context of wtf you're talking about.

Never or if you do, warn in advance or use spoiler tags (if possible)

MacMurray kills Barbara Stanwyck, and is dying himself, so he makes a confession about how he and her committed murder for a double indemnity insurance policy, meant for the ears of E.G. Robinson, who happens to hear the last part of it in person.[/qpoiler]
The boat wasn't big enough, just as the chief told Quint.
Lee Marvin and Richard Jaeckel parachute into a stronghold of German officers with a dirty dozen, and both survive, but only one of the dozen survives. And he later has a death wish.
King Kong falls SPLAT off a tall building and dies
A British bobby smashes the camera of Monty Python while they arrest King Arthur and his companion
Davy Crockett dies at the Alamo, but he was taller than Santa Ana

Besides, thankfully it's also more difficult to spoil tv series when newbies have no context of wtf you're talking about. you know what I cants stand other than people (intentionally) spoiling shit? Leaking tv (or movies) before the official release. No matter how strong is the fan outcry for "I cant wait". I have ZERO sympathy for that. I mean COME ON. So you see it a few days/weeks earlier. Is it really worth shitting on the work of thousands of people by stealing/releasing it prematurely? No what I see differently is when someones steals/streams things they have no access to otherwise and after they have exhausted all their legal options of seeing it/buying it. Like me with fucking Homeland - when you live in the US but happen to travel outside of the USA when the new season drops. I was traveling around Europe and Asia, and neither Amazon nor Showtime would let me buy/watch it from there. Even though I otherwise live in the US, have an US bank, US Amazon/Showtime/Netflix/Hulu/you name it account. I am telling you I tried it ALL. Including calling Amazon and begging them and throwing money at them. At one point I actually said "do yo realize there is long term customer of yours, thats trying to pay you for a product, that they can easily download for free, and you are not helping them succeed"? so stupid. Under such circumstances if someone steals it (provided they tried all the other options and its out legally and they would pay for it later anyway) I have more compassion for that. Or just vpn in :-)

Would it be wrong if i told people who have not watched the tv show The Tudors that Anne Boleyn will get her head chopped off ? this is actually a good question. Thats why I opened up this thread. Where are the limits? You can certainly make that "known historical facts" argument. Like you expect everybody knows who won the WW2 so if there was a show about it would you consider it spoiling if you told people about Hitlers end? Probably not. But at the same time I would just be cautious and consider the people I talk to/expose my writing to and if it was a NEW show about Tudors/WW2, that was currently on TV I would shy away from spoiling even what I deeply believe is otherwise widely known fact…

How is it wrong to say that a woman who lived 481 years ago died ?. Or is it not that she died but to say the way she died that is wrong ? Personally i don`t think its wrong to spoil history.

And if people get mad because i tell them something historical from a tv show or movie, i really don`t care. That being said i don`t think you should spoil fictional stuff. I mean i would never tell somebody who are behind me on Supernatrual how season 10 ends if they are only on season 9, or if they are watching Lord of The Rings for the first time i would never tell them how it ends.

Feologild Oakes said Personally i don`t think its wrong to spoil history. Way I se it. If someone is watching something like The Tudors
and is completely ignorant of the history, they are really seeing it as the history unfolds, like a story. Telling them how Anne Bolyn dies, in that case, is a SPOIL and should be avoided. Them watching it is to be encouraged and telling the "twists" would be wrong. (imo) Same would go for those classic, "everyone knows them", things that happen in Shakespeare !
