It's been over five years since the last one, so it seems about time to do another one.

I want to be as thorough as possible. But I don't want to do 357 separate threads. Or rather, I don't want to post once per day for 357 separate days.

So I could post groups of threads at once, one thread per episode/movie, which would work fine for search engines. But it is spammy.

The other extreme would be one thread per season. I'm not sure if the character limit is going to allow for it, and breaking it up into multiple posts within the thread would be less clean.

Or I could do one thread per roughly 7 episodes. That seems to be an okay grouping, in terms of having multi-part stories in the same thread. Will occasionally cross seasons, though.

As for content, last time I felt like I was being overly negative, because it's easier to comment on what I don't like. So I want to have some regular sections, and I'm open to suggestions.

First dealing with the negative, and trying be constructive about it:

Why this episode doesn't work (optional).

How this episode could've worked, imagining what could've been happening off-screen.

And how it could've been done differently (changing the existing scenes).

Then more neutral:

Stats, like death count for characters, or maybe resurrection count, because not everyone has that.

What's new in this episode, like first contact with a species/civilization, a world, a tech, gaining an ally/enemy (or a Major players appearance count, accompanied by a stat for significant one-offs), defeating an enemy (although maybe not, since that could be a spoiler for who's coming back). Could have stats for lost worlds, ships, etc.

Then positive, or highlights: A fun scene, an interesting idea, new potential, good acting (although generally I don't comment on performances).

I also want to build on my own theories. Such as what an apparently abandoned world could be used for, how low-key allies could be more involved, how new tech could be used (instead of only being used to solve a new problem, and then forgotten about), or how vulnerabilities could've been exploited. Adding up across the series, each of the series, over time. If that isn't too complicated. Ultimately, with each new path taken, the story could branch into its own alternate reality.

Maybe separate that out to supplemental threads.

And finally or maybe put this at the top, plot summary, general commentary.

If I go with the 7 episodes a thread option, I guess an apt thread title would be; "2023 rewatch 2/52, Stargate SG-1 Season 1 E01-E07". And something like "2023 Stargate rewatch Supplement A, Alliance of the Four Great Races".

Maybe 2 posts per season? Won't run into any issues with character limits
