no doubt a story can have a greater impact the first time around if you don't know what is going to happen ~ the twist ending or surprise victim/killer/whatever ~
but it occurs to me that if the point of the story is not necessarily to surprise, then it's not important if we know how it all turns out in the end.
after all, we know alice is going to return from wonderland eventually ~ there's never any question of that.
