If they don’t generate that much discussion, then they’ll just drop of the front page and they won’t clog up the forum. I’d be willing to compromise and only have 10 threads if you want one thread per character instead of one thread per episode.

I think we’ll have to wait until people have started watching the first few episodes and then decide.

BTW, I have to thank whoever linked to the AD shirt on Woot. I bought it.

Regardless of the poll results, someone can still start a single, “whole season” thread for those of us that want one.

Good point. Although with multiple threads on the same show with very different spoiler rules could lead to more confusion that the **Game of Thrones** threads.

I hope we do it this way despite the polls. We don’t really need 15 AD threads popping up more or less simultaneously.
