Do you ever watch an episode a 2nd time?

    I sometimes feel that I'm in the minority here in that I only ever watch an episode once.

    Am I?

    think i only ever re-watched an ep in the same week it aired bout twice. Once cud i was after haven a few to many cans and the second time the video was out of sync with the picture. Besides that i've re-watched a season every now and then when theres not much else to watch.

    Seasons 2 through 5 I watched each episode twice, usually the week it aired.
    Season 1 I watched once at the time and only recently for a second time (the end of last year).
    This season I've watched most episodes a second time (you couldn't pay me to sit through What Kate Does again).
    I nearly enjoy the second viewing more because there is usually so much going on that you only notice second time round.

    I've watched every episode in Season 6 at least twice.

    I first watch it at lunch time on the Wednesday. Then I watch it later that night again with the lads. There's also the added benifet of reading the thread on boards for things you missed prior to the second watch.

    Also, before the start of any season, I have watched the prior season right through again.

    Sad I know.

    Me too. Most episodes I have watched at least 3 times at this stage and I will watch season 6 again at some point. I've only re-watched a few episodes in season 6so far but that's about normal.

    It's pretty much the only show I would re-watch as it is made to be re-watched.

    Since January, I have been picking up all the past season (1-5) on DVD and rewatched them. Currently watching Season 5 on DVD, as well as following Season 6 (gonna cry when its' over).

    I'd usually watch the current episodes on RTE2 on Thursday night and probably end up watching it again at my Girlfriends house at the weekends when she watches it.

    Can't get enough of Season 6 , its top notch........Go Team Hume ;)

    Yeah, Lost brings out the real geek in me. Since Series 3, I've re-watched each season in the weeks before it came back. Then for the past 2 seasons, I'll watch the stream as soon as it's released, Sky+ the RTE/Sky version, go through all of the reaction and podcast to give me as much perspective as possible, then watch the episode again before the new one airs.

    I wouldn't necessarily call it my favourite show ever, but no show has ever seen me go anywhere near those lengths to follow it.

    You poll is limited. Yes I watch an episode twice. Sometimes not straight away. And so far ive seen every single episode 3 times at least. When its over, ill prob do another re-watch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,732 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    I've probably watched most episode 3 times now at least. Some more than that (The Constant, Live Together Die Alone, Exodus, Flashes before your eyes) which I've watched loads of times. I don't see anything wrong with it, if it's entertaining, it's entertaining

    I've never watched an episode twice. I might do in a few years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,780 ✭✭✭JohnK


    I wouldnt watch an episode of any show more than once in a short space of time although I'd generaly re-watch any good series after about a year or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,151 ✭✭✭beanyb


    Sometimes I accidentally catch episodes again when they're shown on TV, or the odd repeat. But generally, I watch once, and then dont watch it again. I'm looking forward to doing a run through from the very beginning once it ends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    I used to when Lost was good when it came out 1st, Probably watched a few episodes of season 1 & 2 loads of times.

    Voted No, as I wouldn't watch an episode a second time anymore, I just want to see how it ends now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 116 ✭✭mackthefinger


    The sixth season, been watching them twice. Second time after I've read through the threads here.

    Working my way back through the seasons now, am currently up to
    season 4. Will fastforward some of the flashes though, mostly Kates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭podgemonster


    Usually watch the new episode on a Wednesday lunchtime then the following Thursday, then its on Friday on Sky 1 and I glance at that too sometimes.

    I dont watch the old ones, i think il wait for the series to be complete so i can watch the entire season from scratch and somehow do a Daniel Faraday and wipe my memory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 177 ✭✭Lumbarda


    Depends on how good the episode is but often watch it on Thursday night and then again on Friday (haven't worked out how to download properly so watching it the old-fashioned way and try to stay spoiler free from Wed to Thurs!). I find I pick up on a lot more the 2nd time as there are so many WTF :eek: moments the first time watching (in the good episodes) that you often miss the little things!
