I really don't understand this notion that a story is ruined because you're also familiar with stories that take place after it.
I know how WWII turned out, but there are stories set in that period that are worth watching.
@ValueSubtracted I mean, it's not binary, but it is a factor. I've watched the same movie, or even single episodes, many, many times. But there is a reason people, like myself, want to avoid spoilers before watching something new. Knowing how it ends ahead of time just hits different.
I guess so. I've just never watched Star Trek VI and felt like it had been affected by the fact that TNG was in its sixth season by that point.
@ValueSubtracted but part of st vi laid out how the Federation and klingon empire became the allies we see in tng. That's the kind of "filling in the blanks" stories I'm talking about. VI is my 2nd favorite movie after Khan, so I'm not saying those kinds of stories can't be good as well.
