Admins: A proposal for an incoming Arrested Development problem
Posted on 5/22/13 at 1:51 pm
Posted on 5/22/13 at 1:51 pm
As you hopefully know, a new season of Arrested Development is about to be released on Netflix all at once and in no particular order, which could be a problem for everyone who wants to watch the season at their own pace and their own order
The best solution IMO is to have a thread for each of the 13 episodes, which would make the GOT dilemma look like nothing
What i want to do is have the individual threads but combine them into one thread that has the links to each episodes thread, sort of like what has been done on the Recruiting board before
Ill do all the grunt work of making the threads and making the thread with the links, i just want to clear it with you guys so you wont whack the threads as spam or something like that (and hopefully get a sticky to keep the AD threads to a minimum)
And if this is a bad idea then ill just shut up

I don't think spoilers will be as much of an issue for Arrested Development as they are for Game of Thrones. Besides, you know we're all going to watch every episode the day it comes out

One singular thread would just be a mess, discussing 12-13 episodes at once and would be crazy imo
Its not so much spoilers, just that a lot of people wont know what the other ton of people are talking about
And some people on the MTV board are already talking about how they want to watch it (marathon or spreading it out and im what order)

Did you even read the entire thread hugo?

or people could just watch all the episodes before going in the thread. it will only take a solid saturday afternoon to do so...
ETA: you people are soooo damn sensitive about the slightest minute thing that might almost hint at a spoiler. if you don't want something to be spoiled that bad, stay out of the thread. It isn't really that hard.

Again, its not really about spoilers, its just a way to discuss the episodes individually and separately without cluttering up the board
Youre the only one that seems a bit sensitive in this thread, im just trying to come up with the best solution otherwise there will be 50 AD threads that week
The uniqueness of the season is what makes this viable. The episodes are not in a constant order and they are being released all at once and theres a huge following of the show on the board. Put that all together and you have something the Boards never seen before and i think it requires a unique solution

yeah, but it would only work if they anchored all the episode threads.
Otherwise, it will be a lot of clutter.

That was part of the plan i just forgot to add it in the OP
Figured thats what they would do anyway

im not being sensitive, i guess i was just relating this thought to the GoT threads.

I mean can you really blame people for not wanting to know? I mean others didnt want the books spoiled for them
Anyways, This idea makes it to where there wont be a thread every hour about Hey i watched this episode lolololol
keep it sticked for a couple weeks and have the other threads anchored. pretty solid idea IMO

Exactly. Its a win/win and keeps the discussion in the right place.
Unless Chicken wants to do an AD board for a couple of weeks?

It would save that board from being a zoo for about a month honestly.
Im not gonna be able to watch it when it comes out and wont be able to until a week later so it doesnt matter to me.
just doing my duty to help
