BAH.

I googled "Spooks" to find an episode guide, and Google promptly spoiled me for something without even clicking a link. :P

I don't know exactly what you're after, but 'List of XYZ episodes' pages on wiki are where I normally go. There's a line or two per episode, normally, but that doesn't usually prove too spoilery. The Spooks one is here.

It really is kind of hard to not be spoiled with the internet being how it is.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get to. But Google had to go and list news articles about the show as well.

Oh well. But still - BAH. I'd have rather not known.

Yeah, I just bypass google altogether these days and type in the wiki url.

KNOWING WIKIPEDIA URLS OFF BY HEART IS NOT RIDICULOUS.

I should start doing that.

IMDB works pretty well for episode lists, too.

From friendsfriends:

WOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME THIS MORNING AND I WAS DEFINITELY NOT PLEASED WITH GOOGLE, TO SAY THE LEAST.

I SAW THAT. And you know, given my usual state of being with all things TV, I would have spoiled myself. Probably. But I should have the CHOICE, HELLO.

YES, EXACTLY. Hmph.

Dammit... now I'm torn between staying spoiler free, or running to look at the spoiler!

I think I'm going to look - damn having no willpower!!

I HATE it when that happens. I had a similar moment recently where I was looking up something about The Doctor and aspirin in Yahoo and was unplesantly spoiled by a news headline RIGHT THERE in the OPEN. I was ticked off, lol.
