I very much don’t - I used to love binge watching. I still see its value in catching yourself up to the discussion point. But the experience I had watching Breaking Bad seasons 3-6 weekly in time with the rest of the viewing audience was infinitely superior to watching seasons 1-2 in one go. The experience watching

Actually, yes, that’s precisely my point. Television (and radio) can have a unique relationship with its audience, unmatched in other mediums. The nearest you’ll get is with a book club, and that still can never have anything like the reach or variety of response of weekly episodes of Game of Thrones.

“Or they could release it all at once for those who prefer binge watching and let those who don’t watch at their own pace. Like you’re already doing.”

And how do you suggest I keep up with people on a global scale? How do you suggest I co-ordinate with all the people on review sites and blogs who are watching at different rates?

Your demand obliterates my preferred viewing experience. My demand only delays yours. The conversation I want DIES when everyone watches at their own pace.

And funny how the only experience you care about is the one you prefer.

Yup, your way is definitely the more selfish one. You can watch in a binge any time, but community discussion is destroyed by your desire to have it NOW NOW NOW.

...that’s a conclusive argument you present.

It got a lot of talk for a couple of weeks and has simmered since then. It could have had 8 weeks on everyone’s mind. Orange is the New Black could get 13 weeks of coverage, but it settles for just 2 or 3. People still know about them and talk about them, but how many people have rewatched episodes the way they

Releasing it all at once kills the community discussion surrounding the series. It becomes almost impossible to discuss the series with others in any detail because you might have watched two episodes or thirteen episodes, and they may have watched any number in between. There’s no shared exhilaration over

Or they could release it weekly so that everyone who wants to discuss it per episode can while the people who want to binge it on their own can wait for the whole series to be out. You know, episodic releases. Since it’s episodic. Because it’s a television series.

I think it’s great that they want to curb binge-watching, and give audiences more time to digest and discuss what happens in the episodes. But this would have been way more effective if more had actually HAPPENED in the first six episodes. It felt so much like it was just constantly setting up stuff that by the end of

It’s not a flag of the South though - it’s a flag of the Confederacy. Furthermore it is the BATTLE flag of the Confederacy. It is not representative of peace, it is representative of fighting to keep slaves.

Most of these aren’t revamps, they’re reboots or remakes. A better list would have been franchises that changed direction/setup during their run. An example would be Angel season 5; a slight change of cast with a massive change of setting, putting the team in charge of the law firm they’d been fighting against for

I still think 'mistakes' is appropriate. People get led astray. They find themselves in new circumstances, and they change, they don't know how to handle it. We know very little about what went on, and it's all pretty much unverified outside one not-altogether-unbiased source. If he did do what she accuses, then it

I always thought Joss was a great writer. And based on interviews and reports I thought he seemed like a considerate, compassionate guy. Nothing has yet dissuaded me from those opinions. Even if he's made mistakes both professionally and personally, who hasn't, who doesn't? If you thought he was perfect in either

Right. Better not to laud positive ideals at all than to be a hypocrite.

Have a national 'Burn a Nazi' day. Like Guy Fawkes night, but you burn Hitler or Goering (you can vary it with others - I'm sure many would burn Trump - but you set Hitler as your baseline). Make it a nationwide recognition that Nazis are BAD, because some people clearly aren't getting the message.

They should just call it 'Obi Wan', that'll leave them open to make 'Obi Two' and 'Obi Three'.

This is probably going to be terrible, but it should still be entertaining, at least for a few episodes.
