One of my biggest pet peeves is googling a character from a TV show and having " (tv show) +(character) death scene" show up when I don't know they died yet.

With all TV shows and movies I've tried so far, there hasn't been one case where this doesn't hold true.

This also works conversely too - If I google a character and autocomplete doesn't give me "death", I can pretty safely assume that they're still alive in the most recent episode.

For movies this isn't as big an issue; they aren't a big time commitment so I can just watch the whole thing first. However for TV series, especially multi season TV shows, I don't think I can watch the entire thing before browsing discussion threads and forums.

My current strategy is to search up "(tv show) + (season and episode) + reddit" to find the discussion thread so I can see what people are talking about, which is a fair compromise, but sometimes that just doesn't scratch the itch. Also, this one subreddit in particular has weekly character quotes in its sidebar, and it just so happens that right now it's a quote from the last season by one of the main characters introduced in the pilot episode. It takes the suspense away whenever this character is put into a life-threatening situation since I know that they live until the end. I assume unintentional spoilers still linger in other subreddits so I'm not holding anything against them.

Anyways, does anyone have other strategies for spoiler free ways of finding and reading discussion threads and forums about a television series?
