The show ended 16 years ago.
Well nobody put a spoiler warning on Romeo and Juliet for me. Everybody knows the last lines in Casablanca and Gone With the Wind. Where do we draw the line?Doesn't matter putting it behind a spoiler is hardly difficult. Kids grow up and watch old stuff, people rewatch things again years later and have forgotten parts of the story.
Sad cnutWell nobody put a spoiler warning on Romeo and Juliet for me. Everybody knows the last lines in Casablanca and Gone With the Wind. Where do we draw the line?
Good one.Sad cnut

I've not seen Sopranos so thanks for telling me the ending...Good one.
On top of what I've already said, The Sopranos' ending is one of the most discussed and widely known TV endings of all time. If you don't know that it "cuts to black in mid-sentence" then, frankly, where have you been? Loads of other popular TV shows have referenced it, like Family Guy and Bojack Horseman; it's been parodied and remixed all over the place by loads of different people. And just from my own experience, I took my fiancée through The Sopranos for the first time this year and even she knew about the ending despite not having that much of an interest in big drama series. It didn't affect her experience, it's just one of those things people know about.
Instead of just calling me a "sad ****", please tell me where we should draw the line with this stuff. Because I think 16 years is far back enough to safely discuss it in the open. Should we never discuss the Dallas shower scene again without spoilering it, or never mention "Who shot JR"? Should we never make reference to "We were on a break!" because it spoils the major plotline of the first three seasons of Friends? Should nobody mention the Red Wedding in this thread because it might ruin the entire experience of Game of Thrones? Are we banned from discussing Who Shot Mr. Burns? Children have been born, raised, and finished school since The Sopranos finished. I think it's fair enough to discuss it out in the open and I've put my argument forward.
Why don't you do the same instead of just calling me a "sad ****"?

I just want to know where the cut-off point is for spoilering TV show discussions in this thread. I understand spoilering posts about shows that are either still running or only ended in the last few years (so, say, I wouldn't openly discuss the finales of Game of Thrones or Better Call Saul, or chat too openly about Stranger Things or something). But surely we should be allowed to publicly discuss the end of things like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Mad Men, etc. without needing to add spoiler tags? They all ended years ago - in fact, they're from a different era of TV altogether, and should be discussed in the past tense - and if you haven't caught up with them and don't want to be spoiled then that's your fault as far as I'm concerned. I just want to know where the line is.You are confirming his insult with this over reaction.
Just add spoilers.

I haven't seen The Wire, for instance, or Friday Night Lights or The Americans or The Shield, but I wouldn't want anyone to spoiler their posts about their respective endings because it's my fault for not getting around to them yet when I've definitely had the time over the last 15 years or so.
Are there any established rules for this thread that I'm breaking by not spoilering a post about a TV show that literally debuted in the last century? If there aren't any published, official rules about spoilering TV show chats in here then surely it's a matter of preference? I'm arguing that something like "preference" is open to individual interpretation. Wherever the line is drawn regarding spoilering posts is ultimately going to be an arbitrary line, but that's fine. I'm drawing my arbitrary line somewhere between 2018 and 2019. If someone thinks that the line should be drawn in 1995 or 1968 then that's fine, but until it's written as a rule, it's just a suggestion in a debate we're having.
Personal feeling is that if I ever write anything plot based for any form of media on a general forum it goes behind a spoiler warning regardless of age. The only time this doesn't apply is if the thread in uestion is title specific then it's fair game and if people click on it then that's their own fault.I just want to know where the cut-off point is for spoilering TV show discussions in this thread.

Just watching the Daryl Walking Dead Oo-la-la show and it struck me that it's so stupid that they cant sort this shit out.
Surely this isnt a spoiler.....
If everyone wore Hannibal Lectur masks, motorbike helmets or dog muzzles then they couldn't bite someone if they were "turned". Or if everyone knocked out their teeth and replaced them with falsies it'd be the same. So dentists and crafties should be thriving.
But they don't fuckin bother.
And it'd probably take them about 6 months to eliminate all the zombies going off the rate that German Nazis rounded up and murdered innocents in WWII. Or 6 months to build impenetrable communities, I.e. more than a high fence ffs.
But they don't fuckin bother.
They should call it The Lazy Living instead.

The ending of any show of any age , somebody will want to watch a series no matter how old , just be considerate and put things in a spoiler , it is no skin off your nose to do itI just want to know where the cut-off point is for spoilering TV show discussions in this thread.

By the same token it's no skin off anyone else's nose to just accept that I'm evidently more passionate about the rules regarding the open discussion of TV spoilers for shows that ended more than a decade ago and to just drop it.The ending of any show of any age , somebody will want to watch a series no matter how old , just be considerate and put things in a spoiler , it is no skin off your nose to do it
Christ are you still whining about this.By the same token it's no skin off anyone else's nose to just accept that I'm evidently more passionate about the rules regarding the open discussion of TV spoilers for shows that ended more than a decade ago and to just drop it.
