I wouldn't say I'm a spoilerphobe, so much, I'm just often better off not knowing a plot development beforehand.
Either I trust the storyteller (the crew behind Farscape) and they'll do their best to deliver the goods on even the weirdest plot point (ploint?), or I don't (Chris Carter, this hot plate of stink-eye is for you). Either the ride is more delightful for the shock, or the rubbernecking is more interesting if the vehicles in the pileup are a surprise.
Some shows, I'm in a rollercoaster car and I'm not invested in the world it's passing through--I've always been spoiler-neutral for Doctor Who.
When the trust is a grey area and I'm invested in the characters or the world, that's when I seek spoilers. I need to know man! I need to protect my heart! Will they be gentle? How should I brace myself? Am I better off staring out the window at the squirrels and writing my own fic?
