I go to sleep for a few hours and when i return we are watching 2 shows
I have to admit my first reaction was can't we do Blake's 7 first as voted and then at the end of 1 season change if that was the vote.
But on reflection I think this might be a better solution.
I think the most likely thing to happen at the end of Blake's 7 Season 1 is that the group would split. There would likely be some who weren't keen on the show by that point and some who, though liked it, wanted to move on to something new.
It did occur to me that then would create a problem with the vote. If one side or the other won then what's the point of the vote if you aren't committed to following the result.
I sort of accepted this was probably on the horizon but "We will deal with it when we get there" seemed like a good idea.
But I think the key thing is the group is supposed to be fun.
Looking forward to Friday/Sunday to comment and read comments about the episode you've just watched.
I think that can still happen even if it was a show you weren't keen on watching initially. Sometimes it turns out to be great. Others it turns out to be exactly as bad as you expected so you get to debate and pick it apart.
But if at the end of the season the vote was to continue that show I can imagine that might be a depressing thought.
I used to watch Grey's Anatomy because my flatmate loves it. But if you were to suggest that show now I might have to go full Taken on you. I will find you and when I do I will stop you voting for it
cause I can't go back to that show, please don't make me go back.
Err anyway....
So Mad-Pac has brought things to a decision point now which I think is for the best.
I am still committed to Blake's 7 for at least season 1. But I am also happy to start watching and commenting on Star Cops.
