Two-Parter Episodes
Hello 😸✨ I've been thinking!!
We currently have 2 x Buffy per week and 1 x Who per week. I was thinking that we can change this up a little bit, when a two-parter episode comes out. I know there is a 2-parter Who coming up next, so instead of offering 2 x Buffy for this week, I might offer 2 x Who instead to keep the two-parter episode closer together!
So the schedule would be:
Saturday 29th: Who 1x09 (pt1) (usually a Buffy episode here)
Tuesday: Buffy 3x07
Thursday: Who 1x10 (pt2)
Saturday Buffy 3x08 (back to Buffy)
Is this okay with you guys? I am also thinking of alternating weeks like I said in the last Who post, but I'd like to do up a poll for opinions and thoughts on that in another post but for now as there's a 2-partner, I wanted to let you know of the change for this week 💜
Maybe I think about things too much. I'll go back in my corner now 🤣

I think it is fine to put the two part shows for either show in the same week.
I'm Gucci with whatever you want Juliette<3 I'm easy here;)
Good job, Texman 💓 easy like Sunday morning!
Switching it up for two-parters would be preferred. Alternating weeks would be less desirable. That's my vote.
Ideally 2 episodes of both every week! Haha. But yeah i think only switching around if theres a 2 parter seems ok. of course, do what works best for you :)
Yay for more Who :D
Honestly, I'm agnostic on the decision, personally. Gauging the reactions here, though, it seems like temporarily switching things around only infrequently might be the better option. It seems to displease the fewest people. 🖖💙
Sounds good to me, go with what you feel’s best.
Yes! But I am biased towards Doctor Who as that’s what I’m here for. However, I think the temporary hit for Buffy fans won’t be too bad, as typically you only get a 2 part episode twice per series. Usually they are the finale and mid of the Series so it’s weeks before Buffy fans lose an episode, which sounds not too bad tbh.
I'm happy with whatever schedule you decide on Juliette, and I'm sure most others feel the same way.
Can’t be worried about pleasing everyone. Some people might not like it, some people will, and some might outright leave, but none of that is your concern. Just do what you’re comfortable with. You wouldn’t be the first to do alternating schedules or alternating numbers of posts per week. In the end the best thing to remember and save yourself from fear, anxiety, and inevitable burnout is you’re the one in control, not patrons, subscribers, or anyone else (unless there’s children in the house ... then deity of choice have mercy on your soul).
I think that’s a great idea. There are usually two 2-parters in each series of DW, spaced out, so I don’t think it would mess things up too much for the Buffy-only fans (speaking as a longtime DW fan and a newbie to Buffy, which I am really enjoying as well).
That is good to know! Thank you! So it would still mostly be 2 x Buffy per week, with the occasional 2 x Who weeks... I just don't want to upset anyone 😔 sometimes it's hard to know what to do! I fear change 🤣
I’m happy with whatever you want! Seeing as Buffy is shorter, you could power through, and then do two a week on Who when you’ve finished.
I thought Buffy was longer as there's more episodes per season but I guess it might actually be about the same as Buffy has less seasons. Ah! Well, that makes sense! Good thinking, 99!
I got my fill of Doctor Who in the sixties. Please don't mess with the Buffy output, it's why I'm here on Patreon.
Yes, I did think that there would be people unhappy with a change! It's why I wanted to check in with people first and run a poll in another post and find out 😸 Nothing is changing yet, it's just that I've been thinking! I'm happy to keep things as is, if people are unhappy with any changes but it just might make sense to have any Who two-parter episodes closer together. Would that be okay with you if it's just an infrequent change to the schedule and it's mostly 2 x Buffy per week?
Two Who's would be grand!
