Hey, guys, I thought it’d be useful to have a post where we could comment with notices for the rest of the class.  (Hopefully useful, anyway?)

So, for example: I just put all of Twin Peaks on DC++ and it’ll stay there until class time tomorrow.   ^_^

To get the ball rolling for our discussion tomorrow, I’ve created this post for you to talk about the TV series and episodes you watched this week. What show did you choose? What drew you to it? Which episodes did you watch, and how did you like them? What connections can you draw between the activities of “fan critics” described in Jenkins and your own take on the texts?
