Never watched The Wire. Only know about cause Charlie Brooker reviewed it...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=sZ2iGYwdEi8

For those who don't know Brooker, he's jokes and normally just ripps everything to shreds (e.g. http://youtube.com/watch?v=q5LS5arkuaE )

...so it's high praise indeed. Might have to actually starting watching it...

haha nope

deffo not why.

U.S. elections are rigged, and I think the Democrats are setting themselves up for a loss with the two main candidates. Last election I voted for myself.

It's on with Omar! Chris and Snoop set it off!

^^ :evil: :evil:

We need a spoiler button here, or something. Or at least try to keep the spoilers to a minimum till they've been aired.

You could tell *something* was gonna happen to Butchie though, based on the preview from last week. Gonna fire up Ep 3 when I get home tonight.

where's the spolier? I think it's fair game once it's on demand..i have 5,6 & 7 but have been strong and am waiting for 3 + 4 to become 'available'.

aha, i starting reading politics and switched off.

maybe you can post spoilers in white so people won't see them by mistake? Then you just roll over the text to read it?

All good, it's not like I'm not going to watch it now :D

I kinda took the title to mean spoilers for anyone that haven't seen seasons 1-4, yet. But, I think datura is right, it should be fair game once it goes up on on-demand.
