Herzeleid for the unspoiled: do you get upset when people tell you how the movie is going to end before you get a chance to see it? (wondering if its only CSI you stay unspoiled with)
for the spoiled: when someone tells you how said movie will end do you spend the entire time watching how the links connect? (this is how i view spoilers, i love connecting the dots even if i know the ending)
Well, for me, whether or not I go unspoiled depends on how much the show means to me. I love
CSI, therefore I do not go unspoiled. I like
NCIS well enough, and watch it whenever I can, but I don't love it and don't fret if I have to miss it, therefore I don't mind being spoiled for it at all.
If someone spoils me for a movie or TV show that I don't want to be spoiled for, I get seriously ticked. In fact, I had a friend whom I had to stop watching movies and shows with because she JUST COULD NOT SHUT UP when it came to plot points. It was that or stick her headfirst in a barrel of leeches. And leeches were hard to come by.
However, when it comes to stuff I am spoiled for, then I do like to watch and connect the dots, as you said. That's part of the fun. But I can't do it for a show or movie I love (or, in a movie's case, that I think I'll love). Then, the surprise, and the experience of watching it as TPTB intended, is far more important to me than connecting-the-dots. (I'll rewatch it for that.
