I am trying womanfully not to watch the White Collar season 4 promo and keep myself unspoiled, but I'm struggling. XD

For those of you who have watched it, how spoilery would you say it is, on a scale of 1 to 10? With 1 being not really spoilery at all (just quick little clips of the characters doing things we know they always do -- Neal stealing things, Team FBI solving cases -- out of context so you can't really tell what's happening) to 10 being super-spoilery, "we've probably seen most of the good scenes in the first half of the season" levels of spoilery. (No specifics, please!)

ETA: Thank you very much for the answers!

There are definitely some spoilers, but not a lot of plot. I don't think there's anything beyond the first episode, tbh. And there's a lot of footage they shot specifically for the promo.

I'd give it a three. Except for two scenes - maybe a five.

Thank you! :D This is very helpful - particularly that it doesn't really spoil the overall arc of the season. *ponders*

I'd give it a two or a three. Nothing fandom hasn't guessed or that isn't par for the White Collar course.

Thank you! :D

If I could fish for a bit more information ... one of the people over on LJ said that it reveals something "very important" from the premiere - which is the one thing, I guess, that's making me balk at watching it (since otherwise people seem to agree that it doesn't really spoil much beyond the first couple of episodes). Having seen it, do you agree? (Without going into specifics, obviously ...)

Ummm...hmm, well, there's one "really important" thing, I guess, but it's easy to extrapolate from JD and fandom has already done so. I didn't find myself surprised by anything in it, really. I thought their S2.5 preview was way more spoilery (or whichever one was Moz being shot - way to ruin your own cliffhanger, guys, jeez). There was nothing like that in this one.

Thank you for the answers! :D

I think the best reason I've found so far to keep holding out and not watch the promo yet is that there are still a few post-ep fics that I want to write for the finale, and I know I'll lose interest once I know more specifics about where the show is actually going. So perhaps I'll hold back for a bit longer to see if I'm actually going to finish up those fics before the premiere airs!
