More on the Invisible Man rewatch
Okay, I definitely want to do an Invisible Man rewatch -- I think I'd wanna do it even if nobody joined in, but it looks like there are a few people interested in doing it too!
The main questions, I guess, are:
- How fast to watch it? One episode per week seems too slow, especially for people who are watching it the first time. But I don't want to rush people either.
- How to handle the issue of spoilers? I want newbies to be able to discuss the show without too much risk of getting severely spoiled (although this isn't really a show that suffers hugely from being spoiled, since it doesn't tend to have long arcs ...).
Consequently, a poll:
*FWIW, I don't like the idea of a separate spoiler and non-spoiler post; I've seen discussion communities do that, but it tends to dilute discussion too much. On the other hand, I like the idea of (reasonably) spoiler-free discussion posts plus a general, collective series discussion post where everything goes.
(LJ version of poll)

alessandriana points out that we can easily have both spoiler and non-spoiler comments in the same discussion as long as people white-text/lj-spoiler-cut their spoilers. Which I hadn't even thought of, but it seems like that would solve the problem!

I'm generally spoilerphobic, so I'd prefer to have some way of avoiding them, but I'll participate no matter what.

What are your thoughts on having spoilers hidden with white text or similar means? Do you think that would be enough to make you feel confident of participating in discussions without being spoiled?
