I don't like the tagging idea, and not just because it requires a fair amount of design and coding, and therefore wouldn't be a near future thing, but because it's relying on me to remember to tag a post of mine. Threadsuck the current BS thread, and mentally tag the posts. I can't see it catching on and being accurate. Work all round.

Ah. I figured it would be more difficult than it sounded.

Somewhere there after Kristin, Maria (and someone before them) talked about having to skip around in BS, to avoid being spoiled for Heroes, which she can't watch now, but will watch eventually.

Whatever the first Eureka episode is in the thread, it seems to have generated more discussion than the most recent, highly regarded, episode of Heroes.

Note--I'm NOT agitating for a Eureka thread. I just think that recency might be tainting PoVs being presented as quantitative.

This relates to what I was trying to say earlier. I think we're in a temporary period in which there are quite a few shows with new episodes, which makes the problem worse that usual.

Eh, no. Overall volume is way too much any more for me to follow a conversation there (especially given my limited time), but it's not the show that's unwelcome.

ita, see Plei:

That's not a cite. That's subjective. I'm looking for more concrete.

Wanting a Heroes thread because it feels like Heroes dominates the thread is different from wanting one because it actually does.

As I said--a lazy count indicates Eureka generates similar if not more traffic. Did the Eureka traffic have a less overwhelming feel, or is it just longer ago?

Well, Heroes is likely (well, ALREADY) has a longer season than Eureka did -- that may be part of it.

Dominating in a total post count vs. dominating in a post/episode count is also a different thing, and nothing *I* see as a reason for splitting off.

Sorry ita, I really don't understand what you're looking for.

plus, then those crazy kids can take their freaky heroes and spns and whatever those crazy kids are watching these days off somewheres and stop putting their chocolate in my (natural) peanut butter

Someone who went and counted and has numbers that support the "Heroes overwhelms" position. If it is indeed a per episode or per week thing--see above for other interpretations of overwhelm.
