re: OFFICIAL "The Wire" M/TV Board rewatch thread (current discussion starts ~p. 53)

I understand it's a rewatch so obviously there's spoilers. But how strict does/will discussion focus only on the episodes of that week's assignment?

I guess what I'm saying is....is this thread for this week going to focus ONLY on discussion about these 2 episodes? I've seen most of the series so I'm not worried about being spoiled on stuff, I'm just curious how on topic these threads get or if people talk about the series overall a good bit as well.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the majority of discussion early on will be focused on the specific episodes. As the series goes on, there will likely be some discussion about the overall plot(s) and how the current episodes reflect in that regard (maybe with foreshadowing and stuff like that).

Outside of a few major things, I don't think too much could really be spoiled too far into the future based on how the show is set up. Each season is so sort of different from the others that they should be pretty well contained discussion-wise.

However, all that being said, this is a rewatch thread, so obviously the risk of spoilers will be present. Maybe at the very least we could label spoilers for the people who haven't seen the show. I'll add that to the OP.
