Yeah, it is tricky. When writing about episodes of TV shows that have already aired, I still try not to post anything especially spoilery. I'm less careful than I am with shows that haven't aired before; I'll give more detail re plot than I would with something brand new. But I'm usually careful not to reveal Big Things; I might hint more at things than I would with new stuff.

I tend to be very anti-spoiler and tend to proceed with possibly excess caution on my site, but I hear from readers who say they really do appreciate that; I figure there are enough sites that give spoilers out there if people want them (heck, I find plenty of press releases, TV listings, and commercials give away more than they should; ditto with movie trailers).

When I write about older movies, I still probably wouldn't say "Rosebud is a sled" unless it's something like that where *everyone* has heard it (even people who haven't seen the movie) and even then I'm more likely to play off of it than flat out say it.

Everyone has different sensibilities about this which makes it tricky.

I know some people feel that casting news (for TV or movies) is spoilery, but I think they may be going a bit too far. Though if I think a particular bit of casting or guest starring might spoil something big (or little), I'll be vague or link to something elsewhere (with a note that it contains casting info that might be spoilery to some).

Anyhoo. That's my long way of saying "yup, it's tricky." I end up thinking about this stuff almost every day 'cuz of what I do.
