That's why I stay away from theads of shows I watch, so feel free to spoil BB on the BB thread.

So you stay away from threads about shows you watch because, even though it's fun to speculate and discuss a programme you're enjoying, you're wary that some idiot might spoil it for you. But you're happy to do it to others. Well done on that one.

But what have I given away ? I've just said that not much will be revealed by the end, which anybody with half a brain should be able to figure out when they heard that this has a season 2. What show with an ongoing story has given up all it's secrets after season 1 ? It's not like I said "everybody has been dead all along" (lamest plot twist in the book).
I've been careful not to reveal anything that lies ahead and my responses were not from that, but what I picked up along the way. For example the fact that the twins haven't swapped places, as some have thought, is clear if you paid attention during the show. There were others who where watching at the time who picked up on that as well. I've only clarified things where people were wrong at the time.
I also think I was less confused than many people seem to be on here becuase I watched the show over three nights. All I've pointed out was things people have not understood at the time and not stuff that is about to get revealed. And as there is a season 2, I'm almost as much in the dark as most.

you gave away exactly who mrs costa and serge were - which wasn't actually wholly apparent from their first appearances. and the fact that there is a season 2 doesn't mean we couldnt have an answer to one of the several mysteries that have been set up. if it is all just about the reactions of the living, then there is no reason not to reveal the cause of the return.
All you are doing is going, 'well, this is what I picked up along the way, and I dont think its a spoiler because I've seen the end.
Now, in Breaking Bad, anyone with a quarter of a brain will have worked out it has to end with...

Why not just say nothing at all about the end of the series? Are you that incapable?

What series of BB is he watching? I won't tell him what happens, I'll just tell him what doesn't happen. If he's wondering if maybe Walter gets killed at the end, I could let him know whether or not we find that out. I won't say yes he gets killed or no he doesn't, just whether or not we actually find out or if it's a cliffhanger. I expect he'll be fine with that.

Turns out Lena and Camille were the same person all along !

Yes, I'd be fine with that. I'm not that bothered by minor spoilers as most Interwebs folk are. I read lots of reviews of most things I might watch to see whether I'll like something and reviews tend to give away about as much as I do. I'm old school about spoilers and believe that it means giving away a major plot turn and I don't have fits if I find out a little bit about the plot.

well, now you know that many people find the kind of spoilers you have included here to be annoying too, so you'll not make them again, will you? thanks

Yes ffs, I'll shut up about it !

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
But if something hasn't even been broadcast yet, then spoling is out of order. Diferent if we are discussing Twin Peaks or something.
Theres no way non-French speaking punters ciould have seen the last episode yet.
On Kermode's radio show they stated you can spoil away after something has been availible to view for 2 years

I didn't fucking spoil anything of note, you whining ninnies !
These days many people don't watch TV while it's on, they record and watch later, so if we are being spoiler sensitive then maybe we shouldn't blab on about that on anytihgn but spoiler threads on the TV series ?
I agree that there comes a point when films should be spoiled. I like discussion and analysis of and about films and that is curtailed by being hypersensitive about spoiling old films. I know boards were people go postal when you mention that at the end of Jaws,
the fish snuffs it.
There is. I've had it on my laptop for months.

On the Mad Men thread we specifically discussed when it was okay to start posting up comments that included spoilers for that weeks episode, and came to a consensus. It aint that hard. If you are recording it is only sensible to avoid that thread until you are up to date, or accept your fate. That's usually only a few days, so it's hardly a big deal. Even I managed to avoid the The Hour thread until I finally watched it five months later (tho i dont think I'd actually have missed much by going on that particular thread anyway, but I wasn't to know that!)
The bleedin' spoiler tags aren't that hard either, are they?

I said I'll shut up about anything that could regarded as The Returned spoilers by even the most spoiler sensitive, not about general stuff.
I stay away from any threads about TV series I havn't seen. I can't see the point why I would want to read them.

well, quite. Most people do. I don't understand why anyone would read them, but people are strange.

His father? How come? When Victor was talking to Mrs Costa, he said his parents were dead, but his brother wasn't mentioned.

the dead lie. Or are confused anyway. Or not. But its his mother and brother who die at the house, his father wasn't there as far as we know.
scifisam

Definitely true about the dead lying or just not knowing the truth. But I'm not so sure his father wasn't there. I don't remember him being mentioned in the flashback, but you'd expect him to be there unless he wasn't with the mum, and then Victor wouldn't have said parents.
I'm fairly sure a lot of this will never be explained.
