Spoiler alert, dude!



The book is 6 years old, what's the spoiler limit?

Did you know Darth Vader was Luke Skywalkers father?


Death's End (the english version) was released only very recently. The original publication date of 2010 is Chinese.


Well if they really cared they would have learned Cantonese

The metric is percentage of the population already having seen the movie or read the book. Not how long it's been out.


Not a lot of people read Plato but pointing out the horse was filled with troops isn't a spoiler.


I'm not a classicist but I'm guessing you meant Homer? Though Plato used the reference to said horse I think he did it on the basis that his audience knew the story already.

Your right, I was well on my way to Friday night drunkenness when I wrote that.


Well if you were worried about a spoiler, perhaps you should have stopped reading when he mentioned the book name and that he had finished it. Or maybe immediately after that when he said "major plot point"


Yes, that was ridiculous. I wish mods would just delete spoiler posts.


Seriously. I'm at the very beginning of the second book right now.
