A lot of fandoms have been looking pretty leaky lately. Doctor Who series eight premiers in a matter of weeks, but a number of scripts and the entire first episode leaked online over the summer. The BBC resorted to pleading with fans not to spread the leaks. Similarly, several episodes of The Legend of Korra leaked not long ago, causing Nickelodeon to rush into airing the third season in a bizarrely erratic manner. And those are only two examples of a growing problem. These days, if you plumb too deeply into the geeky corners of the Intertubes, you’re bound to dredge up spoilers without even trying. Online fandoms being the behemoths they are, this trend only promises to get worse.
