    Mostly because it sort of set the tone for a good chunk of the rest of the series.

    It's kinda like knowing about the polar bears in Lost. Sure, it doesn't really make the show unenjoyable, but good part of the fun was not knowing they were there and BAM! surprise attack.

    Did Lost ever get not stupid?  I think I watched the first couple seasons of it back when it was new, but after that I stopped.  Partly because of all the stupid.

    Yeah, I'd say that knowing about Charlotte and what she does won't ruin the series as a whole for you, but the shock of that moment is still a big thing.

    To be fair, the last time I watched that show was like... 4 or 5 years ago.  I don't remember it much.

    I'm pretty sure that everybody knows that Madoka is much darker than it initially appears.

    Unless you mean something different. I've never seen it myself.

    Personally, I liked it quite a bit. It's far from perfect, but it was quite good and well-written when it wanted to be. There were some stagnant points, though (Season 3 comes to mind...)

    Madoka's always dark. Even in the beginning. At least, I thought the first episode was kinda dark. It had humor, yes, but you knew something was wrong. Kinda like Evangelion, really.

    But that moment established that no one was safe and that shit was real in this bitch. So to speak.

    I don't see how this contradicts what I said.

    A reply is not always a contradiction, Nyarly darling.

    I wish I had your resilience towards spoilers, guys.

    Also, if you only know about Madoka from TV Tropes you can't know if it's dark the same way Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is dark, or actually dark.

    Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is dark

    "I'm pretty sure that everybody knows that Madoka is much darker than it initially appears."

    But even still, knowing that changes the effect of the show, and the less people who know, the better. Well, unless they are too unprepared for the grimness/violence of the middle episodes and are like "I didn't sign up for this".

    But everyone pretty much knew how dark it was going to be before it even started airing (or at least that it would be dark, anyway), just because of Gen Urobuchi's involvement.

    True.  It's just that I do remember that there was a lot of hype about the show before it started, just because of the studio doing it and the staff working on it.  But yeah, I guess not everyone [noticed/payed attention to] that.

    Is lost actually any good? It sounds like the sort of thing I'd like...

    I liked it a lot, actually and it's one of the few American shows I recommend wholeheartedly. It has great character, amazing action set pieces and a greatly written mythological arc.

    But...well...it has flaws, I won't lie to you. first and foremost, be sure to have all the DVDs with you before watching it...it's a show that really needs to be archive binged to be liked properly. Second, it has drags. Really bad drags. In fact, there are a couple of episodes that are skippable. Like Stranger in a Strange land.

    And the ending is about the characters and it's a bit too fanservice-y in that it indulges in one of the old fan theories of what the hell was going on in the Island on the first place.

    Overall, it's pretty good. Amazingly good, in fact, but it's not perfect. Like everything else.

    ^ Agreed. Lost is flawed, but very, very good.

    And I liked the ending. :<

    I hate Lost. It was like the Sonichu of Live Action TV.

    Dude, I loved the ending, but I can see why someone wouldn't.

    @Vorpy: And Elfen Lied is the Room of anime. Your point?
