Plot Summaries Spoil Episodes

It's amazing how IMDb makes sure that anyone who writes a review... and review's are pretty much hidden until you look for them...

Anyhow, it's weird that reviews need to have a SPOILER warning, but on episodes of WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE, the top-of-the-page summary gives everything away... in this case the fact the sheriff, played by Asphalt Jungle crooked cop Barry Kelley, gets killed... There goes any suspense for the viewer... You cannot help to read a summary...

Summaries for episodes need to be sparse and quick... No details... The details maybe can be written below, but that too contains spoilers without the spoiler warning...

I just find it amazing that IMDb allows summaries to spoil entire episodes but reviews have to have warnings, makes no sense at all...

Anyhow, this is a pretty good episode and of course the importance is that Wright King is introduced as Jason, who'd be Josh's sidekick for about eight more episodes to finish off the second season...

It's odd that an ego-driven actor (and proud of it) like Steve McQueen would have allowed another actor to share the spotlight being that old Steve was firing people on his first day of filming the series...

The standout here however is classic John Ford actor Sean McClory, who makes a wonderful heavy in pictures, especially the John Wayne production RIng of Fire... he can play sophisticated villains or outright sociopaths, yet they all have an Irish wink and charm...

Anyhow, here's a message to IMDb... make sure the summaries aren't spoiling things. Because they do.
