The key part of the sentence being has been running, in contrast to Buffy, which has been finished for over a decade.
Method of Madness:
Yeah, but Netflix exists, meaning old shows constantly have new viewers. So it's finished as in the last episode has aired, but there's always an opportunity for people to watch it for the first time. Why ruin that on purpose? It's one thing to happen to talk about it, but if someone asks that you not, is it that hard to be courteous?
Kugai:
I really don't think Sedna needed to know that Ellie-May :-D
Bunkers under the camp. Hope there's no Dragons ;)
jwhouk:
Or anyone playing with Portal guns...

You misjudge me. I'm perfectly willing to refrain from spoiling if asked*. Heck, I'm one of the small number of holdouts who waited until Game of Thrones was available on Google play rather than pay extortionate fees to Foxtel, or pirate. I've spent the entire season fervently evading spoilers in social and mainstream media. So believe me when i say sympathise entirely.
In general, though, you can't really expect the world to refrain from dropping references to iconic endings of classic decades old stories just in case, that's all I'm saying.
* Not that it's relevant in the case of Buffy. I've seen in total five minutes of one episode. I didn't care for it enough to bother continuing. And yes I'm aware that's hardly a fair trial, but I've never been motivated to change that.
