I get serialization in general - I did soap operas in my youth and remember when the only way to watch a show was to be home, in front of the TV for it, but I didn't hold on to it the way you did, apparently. As soon as I could tape it and watch later, I was doing that - I had a chunk of X-Files on VHS tapes as well as most of Buffy's later seasons. I buy DVD sets of everything I watch now, because it's just easier (and I torrent or DVR all my regular shows and often mainline three or four eps at a time (or whole seasons, with things like Hannibal)). Apparently I just prefer having more to hang onto, or maybe it's that I find it easier to make connections from ep to ep when I'm watching them one after the next?

I do understand about the immediacy, though, and I definitely would like to capture that if I try it again, but I'd like to be really on top of things and do it right - I feel like there has to be a certain measure of dedication on my part to get the quality I'm looking for. We'll see. I won't have time for it anytime soon, so I guess I'll see if and when things conspire to let me try again. :D
