Interest gauging: episode-by-episode thing with screencaps and maybe icons?

[extrapenguin]

(ETA: if any of you are into exchanges, Guardian the TV series is part of the tag set for space_swap – sign-ups end on Sunday!)

So, I've been going through the episodes again for purposes of my dramatis personae thingy, and I've been making notes and screencapping as I go (I'm currently at ep 6). Then I got the idea that maybe I should make icons out of the 20ish-screencaps-per-episode – smallish themed packs! And maybe give the "raws" to the world so that people can use them as they wish! And hey, I'm already making notes on stuff like expressions and what people say, perhaps I should include those as well, and-

Well. I suppose it would be a watchalong thing. Do any of the things mentioned above excite interest in people? Here's some example screencaps; I've generally tried to go for interesting composition or team shots/people interacting over shot #10250345 of Shen Wei Pines Sadly. (Well, after I got enough shots of Shen Wei pining sadly. But surely we all have enough icons of Shen Wei Pining Sadly available for our needs?)

this is an excellent idea, as i've just finished a rewatch but - like a kid at a roller coaster - i wanna go again! :D there's so much that happens, nevermind the tons of subtext, so it would be really cool to do individual ep breakdowns.

p.s. it might also be useful to keep track of content that might need trigger warnings in episodes; i've tried noting some of it bc i want to recommend the show responsibly to friends, but the eps do tend to blend together.

Ahaha, well. In your defense, looking at each episode in isolation and devoting time to it is much, much different to inhaling the whole series! (Inser bad Ye Zun pun here.)

I'm not that good at figuring out trigger warnings/content notes, especially as given the nature of the genre (people die) a certain background radiation of content is to be expected, and people's triggers can be quite ideosyncratic. What sorts of warnings are you envisioning?

[no_detective]

ahahahaha, WOW - i totally DID snort the entire series!!!

re: warnings, i was thinking stuff like child abuse, suicide, rape... there are some pretty grim cases covered in the course of the show. but now that i think of it, that might be better as a separate project/resource. (i've been giving warnings for potentially triggery stuff to my friends, so it might be useful to have a collection broken down by episode in one place. hmmm.)

I do think it's be better done as an episode list with warnings, similar to galaxysoup's list of important episode timestamps.
