Within hours of something dropping, everyone has exhausted themselves talking about it and I’m just sitting down to episode 1. Of you can’t watch all 6-8 hours the moment they’re released, there’s a good chance you won’t get to talk to anyone about the show once you’re done.

Another aspect of that is that I enjoy digesting media between episodes. My best fandoms were TV shows and we’d all chat excitedly the whole week between episodes and consider different viewpoints and interpretations of stuff. Then the next episode would come out and often confirm or deny things we’d talked about the whole previous week.

AYRT

That's honestly the best part of watching tv. Spending the week discussing what happened, coming up with theories and meta and then getting excited to see what happens next. It was very communal: the show would be on at the same time on the same day and everyone was on the same page. With binging, it's like a race to consume it all in one sitting and it gives me mental indigestion.

DA

Yes! I miss the slow release of shows and the joy of fandom as the season went on. All the fic and art and theories and meta that would come out between each episode was just so much fun! And then you'd all get excited in the lead up and the fandom would go quiet as the show was on (or you'd have group watches or life blogging) and the cycle would start again for the week. And then the summer off season. So much speculation! So much anticipation! I miss the communal feeling of fandom around a slow released old school tv schedule.

Also, you didn't notice how silly or dumb some plots were because it wasn't back to back. Like Stargate Atlantis. I don't think I could binge that show, but man was it fun to be in the fandom when it was on TV.

I think fandoms lasted longer in pre-Netflix days because people had time to generate interest while the season was airing and the seasons were longer. People wrote fic and meta between weekly episodes and during holiday breaks in the season. Now, people watch it all in one sitting, there is nothing to speculate on where the show is going, less squee.

Funny enough I feel like there is a lot of talk and squee coming from Thai BL tv shows because the episode are released once a week.
