Hey S. - Could you clarify what about today's questions you found (mis)leading/spoiling? Only asking in case there is something I can address/adjust in future.

Fajita

I love this episode so much, I couldn't wait for yall to react to it <3<3 great discussion as always!!

CareBear

Hey S. - Thanks for taking the time to give a thoughtful reply to my question. I appreciate it. I think I follow what you're saying. My only thought/counterpoint might be asking if you think a question that takes a particular attitude/angle on what was present in that episode (and that episode alone) would still be considered leading? For example (if you are also watching other RR reactions), in Bridge 1x06 a patron asked a question about an intimacy scene through the lens of consent. Greg & John then had a very healthy discussion admitting they initially hadn't thought about that scene in exactly that way, but then re-examined it from that angle. I can see how just mentioning the word consent could be seen as "leading" them, but at the same time all the discourse at the time the ep aired was around that topic. Provoking that conversation (through that question) gave nothing away for future eps, but it certainly did influence how G&J thought about the characters/scene moving forward. Similarly, I could see how my bringing up DV this episode might cause Greg & Roxy to think of this story less as a Gothic romance, or possibly influence their view of Lestat. But again, I'd say that when this episode aired, there was a huge discourse online around DV. And the episode clearly shows DV. So, though I agree our questions shouldn't hint at future events or how characters might act down the line, I think it would be difficult to only write questions asking how RR feel about a scene without some important framing/context. I think we do get their raw thoughts during ep run time and in early discussion. But I think questions which provide greater context to the material can lead to some of the best post-ep discussions.

(In case Greg & Roxy read this, or to clarify for patrons) Thank you both for taking my question regarding DV and giving it a thoughtful response. And thank you Roxy for not assuming I agree w/ the criticism (I don't). The statistic is accurate, as is the fact that many DV facilities are not equiped to accept male victims, thus preventing critical support for this group. Sadly this ep did put a temporary divide b/w some queer advocacy groups and DV groups, but overall the view of the show has been positive because as Greg and Roxy said, DV is a factor in all relationships, regardless of sexuality. I personally applaud the show for showing a very accurate representaion of abuse. It's clear the writers did the proper research and worked with DV advocates in crafting this story. Though incredibly difficult to watch, this ep enabled an important discussion b/w two communities who previously hadn't worked together much. Awareness is an important part of advocacy. So thanks to Greg & Roxy and to anyone who stuck around to listen to the discussion.

Just wanted to pop in and thank you guys for an awesomely civil conversation! I do the Patreon questions and I haven't watched the show but I've always stressed to keep the question spoiler free. I will say knowing Greg and Roxy like I do, they will not let anyone steer their thoughts. They are very good at making their own minds up! - PLD

CareBear

Hey S. - Again, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I might take more time to ruminate, but as an initial response, I think our differing approaches to post-ep questions might just be more a reflection of personal preference for the types of reaction videos we enjoy. Many channels only have raw reactions with no "audience" interaction. And previously, RR read trivia from sources like IMDB, which focused more on production/casting rather than more nuanced topics. I personally really enjoy the patron questions because I think that they bring out different aspects of an ep/movie than only what the Reject thinks "in the moment". I like when a patron question takes them in a new direction or thought process. Not to make up their minds for them, but just to have them consider a new angle. To me, this audience interaction is one aspect that makes RR a more fun/unique watch. And clearly, the Rejects can openly and easily disagree with anything a patron puts forth. Or have their own take. But I feel I learn a lot from patron questions, particularly with media I'm less versed in. Though again, I think questions that directly hint at plot spoilers are not fun/welcome, I would humbly disagree that highlighting an aspect of the show (like big time jumps) is actually a great way to further the discussion. So though I respect your take, I think maybe we just get something different out of the channel.

CareBear

Also to clarify - when I said that a topic was being discussed when the episode originally aired, I simply meant it was a take from just that ep, rather than a thought/opinion formulated after seeing the complete series. If the question could be asked by someone who had only seen that far into the show, then it's keeping in-time with the Rejects.

I just subscrived to watch this in full, i really think You guys are THE Best reactors Ive seen to this show, the fact that You took a second to consider all angles, and always keep in mind that they are all vampires, i feel that is the only way to fully enjoy the show. Also i think Daniel was right about calling Luis out on ripping out the Pages, the same way he ommited the diaries all toghether in the 70s, he is stil omiting or shfting parts of the truth he feels unconfortable with, and he hired an investigative journalist instead of a fiction novellist for his book

CareBear

Hey S. - Yes, I'm glad to see this as a thoughtful place to swap ideas, so thanks for your honest/open communication. I'm still ruminating, but a couple quick things: 1) I'm someone who has worked in the DV space for 20+ years, so I realize my viewing of the show comes from a particular lens. To me, this isn't a "vampire show". Instead it's one of the best depictions of abuse I've seen in media. And, as such, IWTV has been incredibly impactful in helping educate/inform people around a topic that is typically ignored or misrepresented. I realize many people come to the show purely as entertainment, or from a love of the books (which differ fairly strongly from the show). But I'd like to think all "fans" are welcome, even if they have their lens. 2) Fair warning: my question for 1x06 (already submitted/recorded) does not meet with your hopes for future questions, and provides some heavy context. I'm not going to comment further about it, in case anyone reading this has not yet watched 1x06. But maybe after that episode drops (and depending if my question is selected), I can speak more to it. (slight implication of spoiler territory ahead....) 3) Any thought to the argument that staying so neutral might actually be a greater "tip-off" to Greg & Roxy than asking deep questions about each ep? Like by keeping things so open/unspecific, we all might be implying that future eps may contradict current events? I think taking the current season of IWTV at face value for what we've seen so far is maybe the best way not to spoiler Greg & Roxy. It might be slightly odd to ask a question which leaves space for anything other than what's been viewed. Again, just positing/ruminating here. But giving them "unspecific" questions might stand out as more odd/unusual than asking a question with a specific lens for what's been shown so far.

CareBear

(This post gives spoilers for IWTV 1x06 and hints at themes in future seasons. Be warned!!!!) Hey S. - Thanks again for sharing some thoughtful ideas. And I'm sorry to hear about your personal experience w/ DV, but thank you for sharing. ❤ Re: questions, some ideas/counterpoints of my own. So another "hat" I wear is an educator, and I'm trying to use some best practices for discussion questions in how I'm formulating my questions. There are some tried and true techniques to encourage diverse opinions/responses. So, for one, it's generally believed a good discussion question shouldn't use *I/my* statements or present an opinion (such as "I think..." or "In my opinion...."). Second, a good discussion question should use how/what/why and not questions that can be answered Y/N (such as "Do you agree..."). So, for example, saying "In my opinion Kermit was very green this ep. Do you agree he was very green?" goes against those practices. Typically a better way to encourage debate and open ideas is to present a fact based on some relevant theme/topic, tie that fact to concrete examples from the film/tv, and then provide an analytical question (rather than a Y/N). If you do want to directly solicit an opinion (such as "Do you agree...."), then you should always include a counter idea within question (either/or format). ("Do you agree X... or should Y....?) So a better example would be.... "Kermit is always presented as green as a reflection of Jim Henson's personal color theory. Kermit's color hasn't changed over the decades, and since none of the other Muppets are green, this ensures Kermit is always distinct in every shot. Q?: How do you think color theory affects your viewing of the film and Kermit's character?" (Purposely picked a super random example topic, just to highlight the question format) So my second example doesn't use *I* statements, doesn't give an opinion and avoids a Y/N response, thus trying to produce the widest possible range of responses/ideas. Yes, I am "leading" by asking Rejects to think/discuss Muppet color theory. But instead of making it my opinion, I'm giving some important background info and then opening it back up for debate/discussion. This question format has been proven to cause a greater range of responses than the format you prefer. I can see how you're reflecting on the chaos of internet discourse in advocating for *I* statements. And as you see here, I'm using *I* in a long-form post. But the educator in me would feel physical pain in writing an *I* or opinion discussion question, or one which could be answered Y/N. (1x06 spoiler warning!!!!) If you look again at my 1x06 question, you'll notice I follow these best practices. I don't say Lestat has NPD, I say the episode is a good representation of NPD. And then since the average person doesn't know the aspects of NPD, I chose 3 concrete examples from this ep. It's the only time Lestat's name is mentioned (and I use possessive). My next two statements, don't say his name at all. It may be subtle, but I tried to choose ways to describe the "behavior" and not the "person". ("his action/response" rather than "he is...") Again it's subtle, but intentional. I'm trying to point out that the writers of the show are clearly informed about NPD and are directly displaying those characteristics in this ep. It's not one rogue example. It's the same "green" color again and again. To me saying this ep features NPD is about as obvious as saying "Kermit is green". However, most individuals are not versed in Cluster B personality disorders, so I tried to give a bit of context. (S2 spoiler warning!!!!!) And I'm purposely choosing not to hint at any other version/narrative of these events. I'm only commenting on what is shown, and ep 1x06 is super duper "green". I'm aware another theme in this show is memory/conflicting narratives. But framing the question through that lens would be a spoiler, since that theme is far more prevalent in S2. (Safe again!!!!) Sadly, though I think we both respect the other's side, I'm not sure we're going to meet in the middle here. Again, just maybe differing viewpoints here. I see why from your perspective you believe it "costs nothing" to pull back a bit. I'd humbly say that the best part of RR discussions are when a patron gives them something slightly new to ponder rather than just asking them to further detail their own "organic" thoughts. I think you simply place a greater value on keeping the Reject completely free of influence, whereas I think a thoughtful, well-constructed new idea is some of the real joy of the channel. It doesn't bother me if a fellow patron presents a take that differs from my own or gets me to view the show through a different lens. To me it's all good foster for discussion. And I like when the Rejects increase their knowledge not just from their own viewing, but from ideas presented through questions/commemts. So, though I appreciate that your ideal video would not include any takes/info that could influence a Rejects' viewing of the show, I would personally be very saddened if all the questions stopped including those takes/ideas. And I'm not talking about my own questions, instead I mean other patron questions that help me better understand and contextualize media on the channel. So, thanks for the thoughtful back and forth. Hopefully we can both continue to enjoy these videos, even if we're on slightly different sides of this.

That's because you put it in too late! These daily posts are for what was being recorded THAT day. I just looked back and I had replied to you. You put your question in the next day after the recording was already done. So to get your question check the DAY and CUT-OFF time. And then it'll be read. - PLD
