One of the many reasons I try to avoid spoilers - when you inadvertantly learn something interesting, that you can't wait to see, and your anticipation builds throught the week, you might be let down when it doesn't turn out as you thought.
Or you might be distracted from an otherwise good episode because you're waiting for something to happen WHICH NEVER DOES. And you realise it must be a spoiler from a future episode and you have to wait longer!!! >:(
Though it could be worse...the Glee alternative is to be let down when even after something gets used in promos, it gets left on the cutting room floor and isn't in the episode, and you only ever find out the context because fans raise thousands of dollars and buy the script at a charity auction. Glee >:(

The final straw for me in terms of really watching Glee was the finale - so many problems, but when it was made abundantly clear that Kurt wasn't actually the hero of his own story, and that the whole fucking season-long NYADA mess was just as a supporting prop in Rachel's storyline (and that the character was going to get no reaction scene to missing out), that was the show telling me to run while I could.
Also, they made Rachel getting to NY to follow her dreams, something I've looked forward to for 3 seasons, fall flat. That takes a special kind of incompetence.
