Thank you for indulging my desire to protect hypothetical people from spoilers I assume they care about.

...This gets at the reason I'd like to avoid spoilerly stuff even for Wizard, though. It's not about "spoiling" the story in that case -- I just don't want the conversation accidentally getting WAY ahead of where we actually are in here.

I understood that's where your earlier post was coming from, and with how often I've seen similar opinions expressed over the years, there's definitely a relevant discussion to be had about all this stuff... but it's a discussion that would almost certainly start getting into how people felt about Wizard after more than a mere five episodes, and that would just end up being a lesser version of a conversation about the show as a whole that could instead be saved for after we've all had time to think back over dozens more of those individual pieces.

On the other hand, if you're saying the reason you came up with that prediction was because that's already where your head was at, even this early, I'd be a little fascinated to hear about that much, in that specific context. The only thing I can imagine would've been tripping any alarms already is maybe the general two-parter routine, and, technically, Wizard is arguably the odd one out there for beginning with a standalone episode!
