With Prodigy season 2 poised to drop 20 episodes on us on Monday, we’re trying to decide how to manage the discussions. Each option has its pros and cons, so why not put it to the group? The way I see it, we have three options:

  1. One discussion thread per episode, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  2. Four discussion threads, breaking the season into 5-episode blocks, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  3. One megathread to discuss the season, with no episodic threads.

  4. Individual episode threads, dropped at a rate of two per day.


Edit: Based on the response, we’ll go with Option 1. I might space out the actual posts somewhat, though, to avoid spamming the “All” feed too much.

Option 4 has my vote. Option 1 is a close second.

I’m going to vote ranked choice, because first past the post is antidemocratic!

4, 1, 2, 3

I’m against a megathread. That would be too busy and I think there will be more than enough to discuss about each episode.

For entirely selfish reasons, I’d like individual discussion threads for each episode that come out one or two a day, since that’s the pace I expect to be watching it (optimistically).

Though, I think the best option for everyone might be five-episode blocks. That would allow both bingewatchers and slower viewers to enjoy the conversation without spamming the feed, and will match up well enough with the “parts” it would have been split into if it aired on Nickelodeon that both broad and individual episode discussions will make sense.
