I am opening up this thread again too to see if there is any interest at all in bringing the Watch Party back. I think it was difficult to do before as it was hard for people to get on Discord at the same time. It could still work if we did it like the bookclub and let people watch an episode in their own time and then had a discussion about it either here in Ten Forward or in the #Events channel/Ten Forward channel in Discord. The discussion would also only be whenever people get on were able to get on to comment and others could respond at their own discretion.

I always liked the idea of a watch party but it seemed we could never get together. I would support the idea of a watch party and make a thread where we could comment over three or four days. But, I would recommend to not only watch Star Trek but maybe shows like the Orville too. In any event, I am onboard.

Timothy Frogue

Sounds good! I am up to Orville as I haven’t even seen the series at all yet:)

The issue for me regarding the watch party were club members who came into the Discord channel in which the watch party was taking place and speaking negatively about the episode being watched and doing things like posting negative reviews of the episode/problems into that channel that outside groups had with the episode while the episode was being watched. Something needs to be done to better police that sort of behaviour. (it being an episode that neither of the people watching it had any kind of operator status meant that our pleas for them to stop couldn’t be followed up on if the people carrying on in that way chose to be Richard Craniums about it.)

Not every episode/series is going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and I know that most of the episodes have been out for a long time, but carrying on like that does nothing to encourage people to take part in watch parties and the like.

Russell

Russ, this sort of behavior should be brought up to an Op even if no Ops are involved in the watch party.

Could easily designate this to the events channel and role in discord. So only people participating in the watch party have access to the channel to discuss it. Thereby eliminating the problem.
