I am hosting a series of reviews aimed to generate in-depth discussions centered around individual episodes. I will use this thread as a hub to update whenever I post a new review in the corresponding series forum.

I hope for many good discussions to come!

I wish you better luck that I've had.  You'll find that some show's fans are more accepting of differing viewpoints than others.

I think it will work in my favor that I am a fan of all the series. As far as differences of opinion regarding individual episodes, well, that's exactly what these reviews will be targeted at bringing out! I hope it will be more about coming to terms with our own opinions through discussion than about competitive reviewing.

All I'm saying is that many of the individual forums here have a clique of members who don't want to hear an opinion that doesn't match their own.  I have no doubt you'll make fair reviews from which you expect to get real debate, but instead you will find many people who simply want to find an opinion that isn't there's and smash it.

Yeah, I guess that comes with the territory... but I hope, at least, that won't be the ONLY sort of discussion that's generated.

Depends on which board you go to.  A few of them are actually very polite.

I'll probably be confined to the TOS board for a while. I want to begin with some lower-profile episodes, and none have a profile lower than most animated episodes.

That's fine.  They're good people.
