Just as a reminder, there IS a spoiler thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3896644 where we can discuss the particular reasons for our hype without loving with this one too much.

What’s in scope for spoilers? All the published books? Spoilers up to book 5? Spoilers found online for production?

As a not done with the series yet would like to know where the line is. Thanks

They have the opportunity to have Cutty and Burrell from The Wire to meet in the Baltimore scenes.

It's full book spoilers. The literal first post is the giant spoiler from this book, and it just goes on from there.

Possibly, but the problem was it was expensive and they didn't own it so they made next to nothing from it

Meanwhile they could fill it's time slot with Ghost Jello Wrestling and make bank

An all-at-once release is good for binge watching if you want to get it out of the way as quickly as possible, but the slower drip feed of a weekly release is probably better for keeping the show "sticky" for the purposes of engagement and discussion. Not to mention, it makes things a lot easier for online discussion forums like this one where you'd otherwise have to figure out how to talk about each episode without spoiling things for people who aren't completely caught up

It's been said a lot already, but Book 4 is the weakest one (that I've read so far) and Book 5 was really great so you should be in for a real treat.

Was there ever any updates on the whole Cas Anvar thing? The last I heard Alcon was starting an investigation but nothing since.

I don't think there's been any official announcements, but aside from not being present at the panel, he's barely in the trailer and doesn't even get a single line in it.

I feel like they'll probably just minimise his role/scenes in S5 in the edit, and then sometime after all of S5 is out they'll announce the recasting for S6 and beyond, so as not to put a damper on the new season.

Probably right about waiting to announce. I don't know how they would minimize his role, they'd finished filming before it all came out and book 5 is the big one for Alex. Unless they already changed his storyline a lot for the TV version he's going to be doing a lot this season.

I know they changed it some, since some of what Bobbie was doing in S4 was Alex's book 5 storyline.

They had one picture of him looking chastened / deeply worried, which is reasonable under the circumstances.

More Bobby and more Drummer make me happy. Bobby doing the Captain America thing with two spaceships, but looks like she'll be hanging out with Alex so, ugh

Excited to see more of Earth outside the corridors of power though.

But during the trailer did someone say Naomi's son was a spy within the Free Navy?

I believe it's 3 episodes on drop day then weekly. Which should allow for some fun thread discussions on each episode.

Fred Johnson says "we have an OPA informant" and then it cuts to him showing Naomi a picture of Filip saying "this is your son". I interpreted that as the informant being someone else who provided Fred with Filip's location

We're on book five, more or less. Season four pulled in a bit of material from book five already, but otherwise we're more or less synced up at this point.
