I think, for me, it depends how much it's an active and beloved fandom, and how likely I am to see the real thing sooner rather than later. Lost, for instance, I gleefully spoiled myself for, because it didn't look like I was gonna be able to finish season 3 for aaaaaages, and I was getting quite pissed-off with it. But I got really upset when I was spoiled - broadly, I know what happens to the protagonists but not why or how - for the series finale of Supernatural, because I really enjoy watching it and it's starting again this week. And I'm spoiler-free for Battlestar Galactica, because I love how that show can shock me.
I do remember reading the episode spoilers in the X-Files magazine, though, because these future seasons happened in the magical lands of America and Sky TV, and I couldn't imagine waiting that long to see them.
