So, for those of you interested, does anyone have any objection to doing the weekly Eerie, Indiana watch-along on a Saturday, or to starting it next week (Saturday August 1st)?

I'll probably crosspost it here on my own LJ, as well as to the Dreamwidth and LJ comms specifically for EI:

(I totally used to know how to do links in HTML, but I'm old now so whatever)

Also, if anyone wants to pimp out the rewatch on any related comms and maybe drum up some more interest, that would be awesome too!

Man, I am so ridiculously excited about this right now.

cool, what timezone are you in? this is not me stalking you, this is me trying to work out what time that will be in the uk so I can get my eerie watch on, have a massive fangirl sesh and still be in bed at a semi reasonable hour so I have lots of pancake eating time left on sundays.

ok cool. ive set it for the posts to go up 4pm gmt, which I think is noon for you? but theres about half anf half uk and us people interested so I reckon therell be the uk half I. full swing by the time you come in and then hopefully the posts will just stay active FOREVER.

we should just change lj to eeriejournal. or betterweirdthandead or something

seeing as this is the most activity ive seen on here in years, it seems utterly fair.

there's a fair amount of primeval peeps, too.

but. i mean. eerie could easily explain the anomalies, so. it all comes back to eerie.

I have no doubt that if eerie hadnt been cancelled well before its time, we would have had a dinosaur episode.

That works for me, although my parents are visiting next weekend so I won't be able to join for the first one.

ive noticed theres a "scheduled entry" button on lj so im going to see if it will autopost at a set time each week, and then im gonna leave them open basically forever because there is ALWAYS an excuse to catch up/rewatch/revisit when it comes to ei.

have you got any time preference for saturdays generally?

[lipstickcat.livejournal.com]

That's a good plan! And then the sessions can get underway no matter what.

Mid-afternoon UK time is when I'm mostly likely not getting distracted by other things on a Saturday.

cool, ive set the first one to start 4pm this saturday - I tested the schedukey thing in my lj and it worked ok so ive scheduled the foreverware rewatch here and on the dw journal for that day.

there seems to be a pretty equal divide between people in the uk and the usa interested in the rewatch, so hopefully this will mean theres a good stretch of the wkend that were all in and out commenting and rewatching and getting fandomy ideas on the go. thats the plan anyway!
