If an episode is part of an arc, <strong>please suggest the entire arc<\/strong>, not the individual episode it is a part of.<\/p>\n<p>3) Leave a comment pitching your suggestion. Please don&#8217;t spoil the episode, but sell it to me. Why should I watch it? You can obviously give basic facts about casting and slight plot hints, but don&#8217;t say, &#8220;OH YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS BECAUSE THE DOCTOR&#8217;S COMPANION DIES AT THE END.&#8221; GIF images from that episode\/arc are acceptable as long as they are not massively spoiler-ish.<\/p>\n<p>4)<strong> VOTE!<\/strong> We have this nifty up- and down-voting system in place with Intense Debate, so we&#8217;ll use that. Up-vote the episode\/arcs you think I should watch next or ones you were going to suggest. Down-vote those you think I should not. CUTTHROAT COMPETITION.<\/p>\n<p>5) Each round, the comment with the highest up-vote will be the episode\/arc that I watch! In the case of a story arc, I might split the review up in parts for length, but otherwise the next post will be about the one voted highest by the community!<\/p>\n<p>6) Don&#8217;t be rude, but I suppose that goes without saying.<\/p>\n<p>Sound fun? Voting for round 1 will end on <strong>January 1, 2011<\/strong>. HOW POETIC. Review for episode\/arc will start on January 4. (I want to watch the Christmas special with Eccleston before I do an older episode.)<\/p>\n<p>If you think of any other rules I should add, let me know.
