NHC Weekly Episode Club (Simpsons Spin-off Showcase)

[D'ohmer]

This week

[Jesse Pinkman]

i look forward to it, it is a good idea

[cinco]

...

this week i'm assuming? i look forward

i look forward to it, it is a good idea

Looking forward to it is maybe too strongly expressed, certainly if it's done twice.
Still the whole concept can create some interesting debates.
A lot of people with different opinions towards the Simpsons are participating.
That's a good thing.
So will there be a new thread created each time a new episode is discussed or will this thread be used as the default discussion lounge?

[CousinMerl]

I think a new thread for each episode discussed would be the best choice.

[Ryan]

I'm so changing my username to "aaron" so I can pick out the next episode.

You can always switch places with me.
There's no rush for me to choose an episode.

i am very, very sorry i was looking forward/being happy for something on this forum. it will never happen again

If you were also that defensive towards others...

So, we watch the ep., we talk about it during a week, we watch another ep., same routine...
That's how it's gonna be?
Is the first person who watches the ep. and comes online saturday morning the person who will create the thread or will we have to wait until hammster creates the "Bart Sells His Soul"-discussion thread?

[Real Melvin]

I'm happy with everything remaining in this thread.

It's just kind of weird to have a R&R thread for everything, and then a separate "that weekly club special edition episode discussion" thread

but don't let me stop it from happening if that is the will of the persons

[Mr Black]

Wouldn't be better to confine it to 1 thread? Instead it will end up just being another rate and review thread

[CousinMerl]

Also a good idea; but I still think that it should be a separate thread from this one to make it less confusing among other things.

[hammster]

Confine it to one thread otherwise we may as well just of made lots of R&R threads.

[cinco]

Confine it to one thread otherwise we may as well just of made lots of R&R threads.

And that one thread is this thread?

[Jesse Pinkman]

i think it's pointless to make other threads. this could be like the "R@R An Episode a day" thread or whatever that was called, where each week we put the episode we are talking about. otherwise, as mentioned, we might as well just go in the R@R threads

[hammster]

And that one thread is this thread?

Yes indeedy.

[cinco]

Haha, a whole page about the thread-formula.
So we begin saturday morning?

[Mr Black]

I'm on holiday then, but yeah, you guys start whenever

[Old painty-can Ned]

For any of those in Canada " Bart Sell His Soul" will be playing on Saturday at 9:30 PM and 12:00 Am Pacific Time on The Comedy Network

[The Wiggs]

I want in on this. Are we going with Bart Sells His Soul?

[cinco]

I want in on this. Are we going with Bart Sells His Soul?

Yes. And tomorrow it starts. Be there.

[The Wiggs]

O I will be there, and be square.

[Ryan]

Haha, a whole page about the thread-formula.
So we begin saturday morning?

if you want more people to show up "on time", I'd make it saturday afternoon. just sayin'.

[zartok-35]

I'm in, aboard, and all set.

[cinco]

if you want more people to show up "on time", I'd make it saturday afternoon. just sayin'.

Based on which timezone?

[EthanRunt]

It's Saturday in most parts of the world, in fact it's late afternoon here, so, we begin in a few hours then?

[cinco]

I've watched the episode as well as the commentary. (so a double watch)
And it's already Saturday-evening where I live.
So shall we begin?
The only thing that isn't great about this episode is the couch-gag.
But who cares about that when you get a gem of an installment during the next 20 minutes.
Bart sells his soul and it plays with his mind.
He connects all the little things in his life that seem off with that one event.
The reaction of the pets, the Kwik-E-Mart door, the make-me-wet toy dinosaur...
Of course he is gonna dream about it.
Of course he starts to act differently. (which Marge notices)
And even when things turn all twilight zonesque after he runs away during the restaurant meal,
it is just his mind playing with him. (and the moody colors and jazzy film noir music playing with the viewers)

[TheForbiddenDonut]

i'm about to get watching; just wondering if the next episode can be decided sometime tomorrow so i can know which DVD i need to bring with me to my dorm

[Richard Nixon]

Watching it soon, I'll make my review tomorrow

[cinco]

Watching it soon, I'll make my review tomorrow

It's not about writing a review, it's about discussing it.

[EthanRunt]

Alright, I'm gonna go for it in a minute, this'll be the first Simpsons I've heard through surround sound, should probably be overwhelmingly disappointing sound wise. 'Cept for Innagaddadavida.
