    God Damn the flippin' Graniaud.

    I've been whiling away these cold, dark winter evenings in my loggia tucked up with The Wire that OH kindly gave me for Christmas.

    On making one of my occasional forays to the wretched rag, I've just seen the whole end game blurted out all over the screen with no spoiler alerts, nothing

    That paper reminds me of one of those maiden aunts you used to have as a child - dying to show that they are in touch with the yoof by going on about "The Arctics", Breaking Bad etc. but should really be old enough to know better.

    And show some editorial restraint.

    And while I'm at it, is there something incredibly smug about the selfies of the columnists that gurn out at you from the screen? Smug in a way that pics of columnists for other rags possibly are not...

    The Wire has 5 seasons and IIRC each one is "stand alone" so there are 5 different endgames. Nor does each season build up to one final "reveal".

    Is this (another) made up scenario?

      I'm on Season 1 so I didn't know that.

      And I don't make things up.

        I doubt it.

              Season 1 was back in 2002 so I would say fair game.

                Best Spoiler Evah:

                Was watching Titanic when young cousin entered, and informed us: 'Seen it. She lives, he dies and the boat sinks'.
                My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

                  WPLS. I finished watching The Wire for the first time a few weeks ago. Came across the odd spoiler, but what else can one expect over a decade later. Also, there are so many storylines weaving in and out of each other across all the seasons, many of which have multiple climactic moments and turning points, that a spoiler for the whole thing would take about twenty minutes to read
