Line 424:
** Considering it was the last episode aired, an astute viewer probably would've had it figured out.
*** But if you're showing the series to someone new you can get a great reaction by not letting them see the opening credits so they don't know which people are regular cast members until the end of the first episode.
* Happens pretty often in trailers for [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|the 2000s ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'']]. The promo for ''Resurrection Ship, Part 2'', apparently attempted to be discreet in its final frame, which showed a hand holding a gun, aimed at Admiral Cain's head. However, the shot of the hand was detailed enough that many astute viewers were able to determine that it was {{spoiler|"Gina", the Number Six Cylon imprisoned on the Pegasus}}, well before the resolution aired.
** Worse still, the opening [[Title Sequence]] (sometimes) contains cuts from the upcoming episode, frequently turning the opening into an automatic, hard-to-avoid spoiler.
** In the trailer for ''Revelations'', {{spoiler|every scene but one has already occurred by the episode's apparent ending, and that one scene can literally be missed if the viewer blinked. Even when you see it, it's ambiguous.}}
