I'm not really a completist, though I was obsessive about having a recording of every Buffy and Angel back in the day. The fact that I have spotty assortments of Farscape and Due South episodes and no Season 2 DVDs of Pushing Daisies as yet demonstrates that even loving ashowwon't necessarily motivate me to collect all of it.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Matt, I obsessively recorded every episode of Buffy and Angel on two VCRs, just in case I needed a backup. Even after I owned every season on DVD, even knowing tapes degrade, it took me months to be able to get rid of those tapes.
The survey question occurred to me because it really doesn't make sense to waste money and space on a tv season that I didn't like and will never watch, but like P.-C., not having all of something makes me twitchy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The internet makes me less twitchy about those things. If I ever need something I don't have, I can probably get it.

Yeah, the internet has made owning every movie, tv show, or book I ever liked mostly unnecessary.

Um, the general direction for the aheming? I can't find it yet.

Dammit, I can't ahem on my work laptop, and my personal computer is out of commission. I need a laptop, stat.

Survey: Are you a completist, who wants to own every season of a show, even if you didn't like some of them, or do you only buy the seasons you liked?
I'm a completist. I don't have to buy every season, but I can't have gaps. So it doesn't bother me that I have Buffy 1-3 (that's what was on sale!), but I wouldn't want 1, 3, and 5. It helps that with most shows it's the early seasons you want anyway. Of course, I can't afford to buy many TV shows.
This is true of books too, I don't want vol. 2 if I don't have vol. 1. but I don't care if I don't have later volumes.
