There's a whole lot of bitching in here. I just wanted to know why they don't run over the zombies with the 5 tanks I've seen lying around since the start of the show.

From Merriam-Webster:

quote:

spoil·er noun \'spoi-l?r\

Definition of SPOILER


3
: information about the plot of a motion picture or TV program that can spoil a viewer's sense of surprise or suspense; also : a person who discloses such information


based on the dictionary definition, this wasn't a spoiler.

I'm awfully tempted to spoil the show for you now.

The name of a future character and his demeanor most certainly fits that definition, but good job though.

Incorrect. Didn't discuss the plot.

A character is a plot device, so yea that counts as discussing the plot.

If the guy expects to come to a message board and ask a question about a show that has been on the air for four years and not get some spoilers, I have some beachfront property to sell him in Kansas.

Or people could just recognize what he asked for and oblige. It's not difficult at all to not talk about shite that hasn't happened yet or characters that haven't been introduced yet.

You say I'm nitpicking. Well I say you just flat out ignored what the OP asked for. And your defense is "He should expect some spoilers, that idiot" (idiot referencing the beachfront property line).

Also, you and LNCHBOX need avatars so I can recognize which of you is posting.

What if I wanted to be surprised to learn about that character. J/K, Its really not a big deal, I just wanted to say something before someone posted about something big.

Disagree.

plot noun \'plät\
: an area of land that has been measured and is considered as a unit

: a usually small piece of land that is used for a particular purpose

: a series of events that form the story in a novel, movie, etc.

and a plot device is something that moves the story forward. Saying someone is a badass along with their name does not move the story forward. You don't know anything more about the story than you knew before.

You're wrong.

A plot device is an object or character in a story whose sole purpose is to advance the plot of the story, or alternatively to overcome some difficulty in the plot.

You know about a future character and if they are a big influence.

You're wrong, plain and simple. Knowing a character and his dimeanor is definitely spoiling something that the OP should be able to gather on his own.

Also, Voldemort's dimeanor is integral to all of season three. It is most definitely directly related to the plot of the show.

Keep watching, you'll see why that's not feasible.

I didn't even reference this character first in the thread. I replied to another person that mentioned the character and then proceeded to actually reveal nothing about the character other than my own opinion.

and if anyone thinks that folks on an internet message board are going to adhere to their wishes, they are an idiot.

Translation: I spoiled something.
