Rewatch Poll #2: Let's Do This Thing!

[lostdragonfound]

It is time to close out our first rewatch poll and open up a new one!
At this time the three shows that had the most votes are: Firefly (16), Wonderfalls (14) and Veronica Mars (12).
We thought that we might run two tracks at the same time if enough people are interested.

The first track would be Firefly.
We are thinking one episode a week on the weekends.
There are 14 episodes and the plan would be to start on Saturday February 1st and have it run through Saturday May 3rd (if I've done my calculations correctly that is).

The second track would be the Advanced Track with Veronica Mars.
There are three seasons for Veronica Mars.
There is a Veronica Mars movie that is coming out around March 14, 2014 and some people may want to rewatch (or watch for the first time) in preparation for that event.

Considering that there are 64 episodes of Veronica Mars and a movie coming up soon we thought there might be an interest for a more advanced viewing schedule. How advanced is up to what everyone is interested in.

Also remember that you don't have to keep up, you can jump in a comment thread whenever you get a chance to watch a particular episode. Unless you are the show captain, then you should probably try and keep up :)

We're also interested in how you would like the issue of spoilers dealt with in regards to these rewatches. It's possible that some people will be watching the first time around and some veterans might want to talk about how something in the current episode we're talking about foreshadows a future event. We'd like to know how you all feel about how that should be handled.

Your thoughts on dealing with spoilers during rewatches...

View Answers

I'm not concerned about spoilers for rewatches at all.
9 (42.9%)

I think spoiler warnings in the comment subject line is enough for all spoilers.
9 (42.9%)

I think spoiler warnings in the comment subject line for anything EXCEPT major spoilers ie: character death, is fine.
0 (0.0%)

I think people should write up thoughts that include spoilers for episodes we're not discussing yet in their own journals and link them back to the comment threads instead.
2 (9.5%)

None of the above, I'll comment.
1 (4.8%)

If anyone would like to volunteer to be a captain for one of these shows, please comment here. If no one volunteers I can do it. So if you're interested in participating but no one feels up to captaining don't worry we can still do this thing.

We'd like to start this Saturday February 1st, so I will be closing out this poll on Thursday Night at the latest. If you want to captain one of these two shows you need to be able to get a homebase up by this Saturday.

ETA: Anyone else have any thoughts on using rot13 (rot13.com) for spoilers?

Assuming all goes well, there will be more rewatches in the future :) We can do another poll when these rewatches are closing up and have what we didn't' get to on the new poll along with the suggestions from the comments of the previous poll and any other suggestions people may have when that time comes around.

Glad I"m not alone! I was originally thinking of watching it in the month of February - I might still do that and try to remember to come back to the posts. ;)

On most TV I'm horribly behind and slow as molasses, Firefly is an exception.

We'll be listing the rewatches in the Round Up posts, so it should be easier to remember to come and check out the comments.

That's because Firefly is awesome! Years ago when the DVDs first came out a friend was over and we (my husband and I) showed him a few episodes. He watched a few then had to leave, but on his way home he stopped at a store (in a snow storm) so he could pick up his own copy and watch the rest at home. He got hooked that fast and that hard.
