How Twitter Ruins TV

Daniel Carlson wants to do away with live-tweeting:

The creative teams behind your favorite shows do not intend for them to be half-watched through an ironic lens that’s constantly searching for a pun or .gif fodder. To hover over your computer’s keyboard or phone’s glossy screen is to miss out on the moment of connection and possibility that makes art worth experiencing. Next time your favorite show is on, try just sitting and watching it. The act of watching requires a kind of patience and focus that are key to the whole thing. And if you find yourself moved to say something when it’s finished, that’s great, really. Just keep the spoilers to yourself.
