I want to get some input from people about this topic.
One of the rules in the TV Talk area is not to start a thread more than one hour before the show airs. This is to prevent people from having to wade through pages of speculation and conversation about last weeks show to get to the topic of the new show.
I, and others, have noticed that people are posting and watching during the show IN the official thread for that show. That means, that yes, people have to wade through pages and pages of nonsence comments to get to the discussion of the show.
The new 24 thread is a good example of that.
Here is what I mean (and I am making this up, this is not related to 24)
Post 1.
"Wow, look at that dress."
Post 2.
"When did Leah Ramini get fat?"
Post 3.
"What was that?"
Post 4.
"I think I saw a flash, but I'm not sure."
For people who watch the show later, and want to discuss the meat of the show, it's annoying to have to wade through all these comments to get to the point where the discussion begins.
So, we are thinking of requesting that we have an "official" thread, the way we've always done it, and a "Watch Live" thread.
There will be no rule made yet, and maybe never. I would like to get the input of the users first.
So, what do you think?
