Public Service Announcement

[coalescent]

Warning: the latest issue of SFX (August, #133) has, in its news section, an article on Serenity, including a box titled 'Serenity Reviewed! (Don't worry, no spoilers)'. I should have known better, but I read it and learned something I would rather not have done. I advise not reading it.

For those who've seen it, the bit that annoyed me was (ROT13):

Guvf vf abg n cerggl svyz. Jvgubhg tvivat njnl nal qrgnvyrq fcbvyref, yrg hf fvzcyl fnl gung abg nyy bs Freravgl'f perj fheivir guvf nqiragher. Orybirq punenpgref rkcver.

You know, I suddenly don't really regret the fact that I can't afford to renew my subscription.

Truthfully, I'm not surprised to read that the magazine leaked spoilers. Considering how many online and print publications are rushing to beat everyone else to the punch, you can't get away with the old Starlog habit of running eight cover stories over eight consecutive issues and still not giving out a single spoiler.

How is that not a spoiler? Jeez.

Well...

I could have told you what a bunch of jnaxref SFX can be about anything like that, and it's been the same for many, many years...
