We have 2 more Honorees of the Week (G-Town and the Gatchaman Base). After this, we will begin Episode(s) of the week. There has been discussion of how we should handle this, with no obvious consensus, so I am going with a poll. We will be discussing Gatch I episodes. If we finish all 105 episodes, we will move on to Gatch II and F. REGARDLESS of which way the poll goes, we will discuss ALL versions of the episode in Gatch/BOTP/G-Force universes. We will also discuss 2-part episodes (eg: Jigokillers, destruction of Crescent Coral base) all together in one week. I'm going to ask Cep to make a special section for episode discussions, so we can all use it as a reference in the future. Please vote! I have this poll set to go for 2 weeks, which gives us time to get everyone's vote, and set up for our first episode week.

My vote has been cast. Thanks for setting this up TJ!

Thanks, GG!

Good idea TJ!

Now we appear to be getting a winner.

I think 2 a week, but if theres nothing to say a thread cant carry on if its generating a lot of debate.

Have I mentioned that I love your new avatar, Veritas? That's a great image of the Condor, looking his most dangerous! I actually once tried to make an avatar from Alex Ross's work, but never ended up using it.

oh, Danke. I just think its a great image, you really wouldnt want to be in line of that scowl.

Yeah I agree on this one.

I'm going to keep this open another week at least, but it certainly looks like the votes are going for 2 episodes a week. If that's the result, I'm going to need help. I only have time to screencap and summarize one episode a week. Particularly because if I do a Monday ep, the next one is likely to be Thursday, which is a really bad day for me, most of the year. So... I'm jumping the gun a bit, but if there's anyone who would like to volunteer to take screencaps and post them and write up summaries of episodes once a week, please step forward!

Hmm.. I don't mind doing a couple screen caps. Writing shouldn't be too bad either.

Oh, I didn't realize that "discussion" was going to include summaries with screencaps. I can't make screencaps (unless I steal them from Reboekah's site), but also I'll gladly write episode summaries and post screencaps!

You might be able to "Borrow" some of the summaries from Springie's and TJ's site - Junsjoint, and screencaps I guess could come from reboekah's. That might save somebody some time. *Says Cloud who has provided the advice now steps away from the commitment.*

Ooh Ooh :thrusts hand in air: Miss TJ! Miss TJ! Over here!! :strains to hold hand higher: Miss TJ! Miss TJ! I'll gladly summarize the BotP eps!!!! Ya know, being the biggest slathering BotP doggie on the board... heh heh SJ

I too didn't realize that we were going to have screencaps too. I don't want to make things more complicated than they already are, but if we're all going to watch the eps before/during the discussions, are the caps really necessary?? Don't mean to start another debate - just throwing that out there!

Dear TJ Woohoo, , I can't wait for the discussions on episodes of Gatchaman, and also BOTP, of course, considering that I have never watched the BOTP versions. I have cast my vote and agreed with the option to discuss two episodes in order per week. I would be glad to help with screencaps (Gatchaman's version, of course), but don't think that I can write any summaries, definitely not with my lack of decent English writing skills, , anyway, I think thatVeronica's page has provided quite good summaries on each episodes of Gatchaman I and Gatchaman II. I actually agree with TJ's idea to provide screencaps, after all, pictures do speak a thousand words, however, I know that not everyone here is able to take screencaps, that's why I am willing to help with the screencaps, but will let the writing on the hands of all the pros in this board, .

Just dropped into the thread to see how its all going....looks like I have to go back and do some reading to see how its going all happen So far in order by two eps according to the poll!

Okay, so what we have is: Me doing an episode on Mondays. I might require some BOTP episode summary help for the first few since I have the Australian DVD sets, but I'm missing set 1. Group effort episode on Thursdays. This would be Shamrockchick and Saturn doing screencaps, LB doing Gatch episode summaries, and SJ adding in BOTP episode summaries (if the episode was used in BOTP). I don't think we have any G-Force experts around here to add in the G-Force versions, but if you are out there, speak up! We could use you! The poll is open for a few more days, but I'll start working out a tentative schedule since it seems to be heavily leaning in a certain direction.

I like the plan so far... I only have the four or five G-Force episodes on DVD and can't remember much else...

I will absolutely help you out on the first few, TJ ... Just let me know when and what you need!!

I can hardly wait for this to start--it's going to be fun!

We have one more week of regular 'honorees' (the Gatchaman Base from Gatch F) and then we'll begin episodes of the week after that.

when I was thinking Two a week I was thinking both of them on the same day, and then we talk about them ALL week. I guess what I envisioned was not the same as everyone else. No wonder I am not a Leader.

CD, I had wondered that too, but I willing to go where ever the flow takes it.

Ohhh, so I am not the only one? Can I be on your team GG? Huh Huh Huh. (I think we think alike .... Although according to Dr. House you do not want two people on the same team who think alike.)

Scary things have happened when two minds think alike on the same team!

This would work for me!

Can't wait for this to start. Glad that I can be of some help. I am just hoping that I don't screw up with the schedule, as I am living in a different time zone with all of you over here. If I miss out on the schedule, feel free to me

Saturn, basically you're a day ahead of everyone else. So you will be the first to get started!

I didn't think of that lol... if anything you'll be poking me

And I just want to say an extra special THANK YOU and to Cep, who has created an Episode of the Week forum! It is located in the general section, below 'Rant'. We'll be able to use it as a future reference. Thank you, Cep!

This is great! Thanks Cep!

That is great!! Thank you Cep!

Looking forward to taking part in this, will help me ease back into re-discovering the show

Thanks CEP!

Saturn, I think your new avatar is cute!

My thoughts exactly Condorfan.... Saturn your avatar is cute.

I'll add a link to my fan page with bloopers from each episode, if I have it...I'm not finished with the pages yet, though...I think I left off at episode 78...

Thank you, Cep. CF & GG, I can never resist chibi Ken&Jun too,

This is such a great idea. Thanks to all of the talented and technological gatchamaniacs who are putting this together.

Thanks Cep! And saturn your avatar awesome

Even so, I think it will be cool to add.

I think the poll is over (or pretty close) and we have a clear winner. I'm going to contact everyone who wanted to be involved and send them a copy of the discussion schedule!

Thank you, TJ, for making the discussion schedule -it will keep everything running smoothly!

LOL... I just didn't want anyone blaming me and saying that they didn't know which ep they were prepping... FWIW, if anyone else would like to Episode discussion schedule, LMK and I can email it to you!
