List of SPOILERS on TV Shows DVD (1 Viewer)

[Vincent Matis]

Since it appears that some box covers/inserts/promo intro/commentaries... include SPOILER(S) for a season or even the rest of the series (!), how about a list of things we should avoid looking at when we watch a show on DVD for the first time (NOT the obvious stuff, like the eps summary or a featurette called "The Making of the Season Finale")?
I don't consider the addition of a new cast member to be a spoiler, unless (s)he's returning like Spike
in Buffy.

This will only work if many people (other than me) are willing to participate (I hope so !). I'll edit the first post to maintain a list.
Got this idea after reading this thread

I propose to use the following format:
- Name of the serie
- Where ?
- What (between SPOILERS tags if necessary) ?
- Safe after (S1, middle S2, end of the series, or a precise eps)

24: Season 2
Where The back of the dvd case and booklet
What The outcome of an ongoing storyline
Safe after You've watched Disc One.


Alias: The Complete Second Season
Where? Before the disc one DVD menu
What A promo giving away severly spoilery and important plot twists about S2
Safe: After finishing S2

[John McM]

Buffy season 6
Where? the cover of the box as well as disc one of the set.
What? the culmination of a season-long story arc regarding the said character
Safe? after you've finished the season for sure, but you're okay after episode 20, "Villians" since that's where it takes place.

 

[Alex Wagner]

- Name of the series - Roswell
- Where? - on the back of the disc cases
- What? - the most notable one i saw was the description for episode two "after the death of nasedo"

- Safe after - probably should watch the episodes instead of reading the descriptions

 

[John McM]

yea I noticed that too about Roswell, you also find out about Alex's death
via the descriptions on the back cases
