Salon post: March 9

[jenett]

I mentioned in a lock post, there was no post last week because I was still getting over being miserably sick.

Welcome to this week's salon post!

Topic of the week
Getting conversations going is something that I think about a lot, between online spaces like this, being staff on a Pagan forum, and just generally.

I've mentioned in a locked post that I've noticed a significant drop off in comments on the salon posts, and I'm wondering if there are things I (or other people who were interested) could do to help.

Is it timing? Starting discussions a bit differently? Something else?

What I've been up to:
Having finished the Classic Doctor Who rewatch, I am now a season into New Who. (With a bit of skipping episodes, since I've seen the first couple of seasons several times in the not too distant past.)


House rules:
This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.

* Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to.

* If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)

* If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

I did! Britbox has almost all of them streaming (well, the ones that survived). I started last August, and finished in late February.

I'd seen pretty close to all of them growing up, but it was a really different experience watching them in sequnce (since I'd seen a lot of Baker and Davison and some of Pertwee, and then scattered stuff as the local PBS station decided to air it otherwise.)

Finding them before the britbox took a lot of searching and flying monkeys.
I don't know that I would want to pay $6.99 a month on top of what else I pay for cable and Netflix, but they do have a lot of interesting shows.

I don't do cable, and do Netflix plus Hulu when there are new things I want (The Good Place, mostly, at the moment) and Britbox while I was doing the Doctor Who rewatch.

(I have cancelled for the moment, and will probably resubscribe for a few months in six months or so, depending on what else turns up.)

I was thinking about that. Although I still need to do that with CBS to watch Star Trek Disco.
