DON'T PUT SPOILERS IN YOUR DVD INTRODUCTION. (Warning: Spoilers below if you haven't watched Season 3 of 24.)
I've been watching the previous seasons of 24 recently. For the most part, the DVDs are well produced - nothing special, but not at all bad.
But then I got the first disc of the third season in the mail. One of the first images is of Nina Myers, who wasn't out of the running simply because she wasn't dead, but still. Her involvement in the plot wasn't revealed until the ninth episode of the season.
We also get to see Jack Bauer shooting up during the DVD introdution, and while his addiction is revealed early in the season, it's still a spoiler.
DVD producers need to realize their audience includes people who haven't watched the show previously, for one reason or another. Maybe it's only a small part of the audience, but still - choose images which don't spoil the plot for us.
Sincerely,
dwc
P.S. No one really cares about your DVD introductions in the first place. If you must make a lame introduction, don't make it longer than 5 seconds. Seriously.
