There are a couple of ways I think we could organise it:
(Option A) 6 months = 6 themes with weekly episodes chosen to fit in with the theme.
e.g. Angst = D&C, BTS, Entity, Grace, Heroes, etc
Kisses = POV, WoO, Grace, Moebius, etc
Missing In Action = 100 Days, BTS, Paradise Lost, Desperate Measures, Grace, etc
- I think you get the idea. We can do polls for what themes/episodes should be included and discussed so all shippers get the opportunity to input on what they want.
Advantages: the theme provides more scope for people to post on just the episode of the week and provides the video, graphic and fanfic writers the option of not necessarily being restricted to epi of the week
Disadvantages: the thread moves fast - could people stand a whole month of a particular theme?
(Option B) Logically start out with Season 1 and determine a list of pivotal episodes on S/J relationship that we want to discuss. So say at a rough guess we have 24 weeks, then we might possibly split those by 8 Seasons into 3 weeks of each Season. We can vote on a poll the week ahead of implementing the next Season on which epis we want to watch/discuss (2 parters acting as 1 choice). Week 1 = Poll Winner, Week 2 = 2nd Place, Week 3 = 3rd Place. That way all shippers can input into which episodes they want on the list. (Hope that made sense).
Advantages: It provides an opportunity for the ship family to watch and discuss the relationship as it logically progresses by Season. Plenty of scope for video, graphic, fanfic writers to look at the Season rather than be restricted to epi of the week.
Disadvantages: It is maybe too structured for some people.
In general, I think we should forget S9/10 for this exercise. I personally like S9 but there really was very little ship (S10 only really has ep 200) and as some of our community don't/won't watch/like these Seasons, I think its more appropriate to stay with the 8 Seasons where we have both Sam and Jack 100% of the time if thats OK with everybody.
So what does everyone think?

) I like the idea of 1 or 4 because around 2 episodes per week would give the maximum amount of people opportunity to watch and discuss the episodes.
* I really don't care, as long as we talk about ship and no one feels they can't talk about any aspect of the ship. This is just to give us something to talk about when things are slow, right? So maybe we can talk about ship like normal, but have an ep or theme we can talk about as well-since we won't have new eps to discuss.
