Binge Watching

[colls]

Let's talk binge watching! Personally binge watching is one of my all time favorite rainy day activities, it ranks right up there with getting-my-nose-stuck-in-a-book and playing Cards Against Humanity in my pajamas with a pack of friends, wine and pizza (am I over-sharing?).

Anyway, yourlibrarian recently linked this article (thanks for the suggestion!) Skip It: Why It’s O.K. to Start a TV Show in the Middle. What are your thoughts? Are you a purist and watch the entire show, in order? Or do you skip ahead to the good parts? Is the answer different if it's something you've watched before?

- Do you binge watch? If not, why not?

I watched the musical episode of Buffy at a friend's recently, having not seen more than a couple episodes before, and yes, I think you really need the context for it! We watched the episode after as well and that one was easier to appreciate without background.

I would think so, yes, because in Tabula Rasa even the characters have no idea who they are and what's going on. So it's easier to relate!
