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:
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 5
How frequent/formal should the rewatch posts be?
View AnswersVery informal - I'll just post about the episodes I'm watching every so often, & people can join in as desired

How should we handle spoilers for episodes ahead of the one we're discussing?
View AnswersAll spoilers are fair game
2 (40.0%)
Have a non-spoiler post and a spoiler post for each episode*
0 (0.0%)
Avoid spoilers (if possible) in the episode posts but have a general series discussion post where anything goes
3 (60.0%)
Other?
0 (0.0%)
*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.

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!
