Bring your discussion ideas! While I've started off a basic timeline for discussing threads, I'm sure there are plenty other ideas on themes, arcs, character development and such that are evident in episodes that you would want to discuss.

Please feel free to post your ideas here! This is a free for all forum of ideas! Then we can see what everyone wants to be discussing and direct our discussion threads around that!
 
i was wondering, after we've discussed the premier of each season, it might be a good idea to then discuss the finale of each season? again, it would show how each character has changed over the course of that season, as well as from the beginning of the show. it would also be nice to discuss the cliffhangers at the end of the seasons, and talk about how they left us feeling for the months in between the old and new seasons.
 
maybe, since it is a small group, each person could pick one episode that they want to discuss after we're done with these discussions. that way, everyone will get at least one episode they really want to talk about.
 
I like everone's ideas. I think it might be cool to discuss the different aspects of each episode as well, i.e. the acting, the writing, the story, the music, etc. We could then decide which episodes had the best of everything, i.e. best acting, best music, best story, best script, etc. I really like the idea that we each pick one episode to discuss. (Currently thinking about which one I would choose.)
 
In a couple weeks, we'll be done reviewing the season premieres. Start thinking about what you want to be discussing next! There is definitely plenty of time and I'm sure everyone has great ideas.
 
Okay, I'm looking at three ideas for the next round of discussing:

1. Season finale's (run similar to our premiere discussions- seven weeks)
2. Episode compare/contrast (taking two episodes and comparing/contrasting them)
3. Character centric discussions (For example, Cordelia, Angel, Buffy, etc.

Also, do you guys want to have more than one discussion going on at one time? We spent seven weeks discussing the premieres. If you wanted, we could do more than one discussion a week. We could do the finales and also another idea that was suggested by a member.

Let me know. I would like to start the next round on Saturday or Sunday of this week!

Keep posting!
 
I really like the idea of comparing two episodes, erh, or I really like all the ideas. And I'm up for more than one discussion per week too..
 
That's what I was really thinking and hoping for. Just to keep us going more..having two discussion going at one time.
 
i'd really like to discuss the finales from each season...comparing how we felt, you know, on that cliff hanger every year! lol

but also, and i don't know if this is possible, how about discussing 'Restless' and how that episode played out over seasons 5, 6, and 7? you know, all the little clues that were in there, like Dawn, and Buffy's death and everything.
 
I think we should definitely do the finales now also. Those cliff-hangers were sometimes not the best things... makes the summertime to ansty! 🙂

Restless would be a good episode discussion. Would definitely need to rewatch it again...but I do remember it being played out of the remaining seasons.
 
Yeah, I think it would be a good idea to discuss the finales. After the premieres it would make a change. Also, I'm all for having more than one going on at a time, makes it run smoother IMO.
 
Hey guys!

Okay, we are getting back on track starting this weekend. We are going to kick major booty.

We've all taken a short break, obviously had much more important things to do. But, that ends. I'm married now and my husband si already calling me the 'control-freak mean wife' and I'm instituting that here! 🙂

So get ready! :woot:
 
Okay, how are you guys feeling about the group right now?

Do you like the roled discussions?
How about the weekly discussions, where we are currently discussing season one. It seems that there is not that much participation. Is it because season one really isn't that exciting?

What else do you guys want to do? Get back to arc discussions, character discussions, comparing two episodes? Give your ideas...lets get this started again!
 
well, i love the roled discussion!

...and i dont know what to say about the season 1 discussions...i participate! 🙂
 
oh, another thing i liked was when we discussed characters! that was awesome! i loved discussing xander and all his character development and stuff! and i think that got lots of participation also.

i believe that part of the problem with participation is that some people enjoy discussing only certain aspects of buffy. any character or episode they dont find interesting or discussion-worthy gets less attention and less posts. that certainly does not seem to be the whole of it though, just a part (in my opinion).
 
I loved discussing Xander too. That was fun. Maybe some more character discussions... bleh.

I agree with SoF that most of our group members aren't really participating enough for certain episodes. I may be one of those, actually, 'cause I didn't really get into the whole roled discussion thing. It's pretty cool, but kind of hard. For me at least.

Click to expand...

Agreed! But, I was trying to 'get back to the roots' and have the weekly discussions, just like when the show was on the air. And we can definitely have more than one discussion going at a time.

My only concern with the character discussion, became because of the character forum...where you can discuss the characters. But, if it's going to get us active again... the more ideas the better!

And please guys, if you have anything you want to dicuss, please start a thread! You don't have to wait for me to do it! I am not the only thread starter here!
