Mmmm. You still wind up with egg on your farce. Who fired the first sh*t is
not really important. What matters is that we found ourselves with spoiler
warnings all over, and we looked silly.

Hamlet dies in the end, Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father and Harry
Potter finds joy as you know who's catamite. Some secrets should have
warnings, some shouldn't and some are worth debating.
