The don’t of seasonal viewing, the backlog. In order to gauge annual perspective, I’ve adopted a Year-end Marathon habit. When vacation arrives in December, I shall be on the prowl. 2007 held interesting methodology, since I was constantly in motion across the Eastern half of the United States.
In circumstances, it is possibly to marathon a double-season (~24-26 episodes) in a single day, I’ve allotted extra time just in case. Still, December looks busy.
Year 2009 Changes
This year, I’m wanting to try and modify the Year-end timing. While the annual rankings and genre/character awards will still surface come early January, I’ll be leaving out unfinished works, and possibly a number of Fall series.
The full year perspective should surface around March of next year (thanks Mike), but it will mostly be modifications to the January posts and some extra thoughts.
What does this effect?
The bleed-over series will be included by the year they premiered in, rather than the year they last aired. Fall 2008 series will be updated into the 2008 Year-end pages (likely).
