Yeah, that was pretty much my friend's take on it. We had a lengthy debate over it while walking from brunch to Trader Joe's.

I just love reading reviews - and getting a feel for what it might involve.

Although, that said, I don't do it for everything. There are books and tv series that I've gone into blind. Buffy is an example of a series that I went into blind. Sometimes going into something blind is more rewarding, albeit it's harder to do nowadays with the constant bombardment of information.
