That's a fair point, although the original sub wasn't about interacting during the episode. It was more like a book report format, but done chronologically throughout the series. So they would have a set day where the thread for each episode would go up, people could watch it in their own time, then talk with other people who also had it fresh in their minds.

You are right though, might as well start it in the main community. I am a big TOS guy but I wonder if it would be better to start with that or TNG

I suppose the other two are more tightly defined than this one. The question would be do we want this one to be a generalised, anything Star Trek community, or to have its own specific niche and create a fourth community for things like community requests and instance discussion.

They did two posts a week, but I think an episode a week is pretty good for a smaller community like this one. The other sub started with Next Gen and finished each series in order before moving on to the next. They've recently started on Picard and selected Original Series episodes. It's a pretty fun way to watch through the series, either first time or on repeat. They also have an episode listing with ratings from a few different podcasts and websites for each episode
