it's out on teh internetz, if you're some sort of resolution snob then it's your own problem.

And again mentioning the schools or a newspaper doesn't constitute a spoiler anymore than the back of any DVD has a spoiler.
Not everyone has the capability nor the desire to download low quality torrents of TV programmes.
A character was mentioned that I'd rather have been surprised by. I knew there'd be a focus on the press in S5, but no more than that.

you are on the internet now. And like I said if it's the 'low quality' that is bothering you then your just a muppet snob and any spoilers are your own problem.

I mean some of us might not own a DVD player, should we have to wait until it is shown on normal TV?

If you can be arsed waiting over a year just so you can watch it on DVD then you couldn't be that bothered in the first place and shouldn't be laying down the law to others because something extremely vague they've mention is a 'spoiler' in your mind.
 
Look, it's quite simple.

spoilers up to series 3.

There we go. No need to argue about it - OP's thread, OP's rules. No series 4 or 5 spoilers.

I'm on the internet at work and I think they'd frown on me for downloading tv programmes.
The reason I am waiting for the DVD is that I am bothered. It's nothing to do with snobbiness - the difference in quality is so blatant, I'm shocked how many people are happy to watch these downloads. You obviously can't be bothered about it.

Yeah, but it was Omar's hot dog, if you know what I mean.

Anyone with more advanced technology than me is a geek. Anyone with less is a muppet.

I'm not the one crying about 'spoilers' that aren't close to being spoilers and trying to lay the law down so people can't even make the most vague references to series 4 and 5.

I'm more shocked at the type of people who are more bothered about a sharper resolution than chumoing at the bit to see the stroy develop.

Tell you what why don't we shut up about all series of the wire until they come out in Blu Ray?:rolleyes:

The OP laid down the law. Spoilers to end of S3 only. It was very clear. Be an adult, don't fuck everything up by posting spoilers.

Tell you what, why don't we leave the decision to the OP, and save all this tedious bluster for the afterlife, when I'm sure you can get a personal angel to nod sagely for you and say 'yes, yes, you're so right, please go on'

yes but the issue is over what constitutes a spoiler, if people are going to be unreasonable assholes about that then why should people be courteous back?

If you're happy with downloads, fine, but don't go shitting on people who aren't

yah and the anal retentive crew can stop being unreasonable fools about what constitutes a spoiler.

OMGZ there are drug dealers in series 5!:eek:

Drug deals, street corners, all have appeared in previous series. But the media hasn't. We couldn't have seen that coming. You have spoilt the surprise for us. That is a spoiler. And now you're behaving like a dick about it to boot.
 
We couldn't have seen that coming

If you've ever read ANY of the associated commentary on The Wire, or simply looked at the meta-themes of any of the series (streets, docks, city hall, schools) you could've taken a pretty good stab that the media were the next in line (not to mention that most of the preview articles and interviews with the shows creators talk about the shift in emphasis...)

actually it weren't me that mentioned the newsroom. And seriously 'spoiling the suprise' of the there being a media angle? What are you 5 years old? I take it you don't read the back of DVD's or books cos they are full of spoilers?

The other hilarious thing is that the poster who posted about the newsroom editted his post only to have some muppet quote him and then whinge about the spoiler whilst not cathcing onto the fact that he needed to edit his own post.
