This is a one-stop shop to find all discussion threads for the Magnificent Century Rewatch for this subreddit.

This is a new activity for the subreddit to encourage more discussion and the like. Each week we will watch 5 episodes per week and discuss them in discussion threads which will be linked here.

Do note, it is expected that you've re-watched these episodes before participating in the discussion, not just reciting from memory or basing off clips.

P.S I know 5 per week might seem a lot, but it would literally take over a year to finish if we do any less.

This will be updated with proper links as we go along.

For some context. I use a laptop to play games on. Problem with my laptop is that it only has 512GB of SSD space. It is upgradable, then the next problem is... well, the price of a 1TB SSD and it does not have a second slot.

I have a spare, used 512gb nvme SSD that I could use and I'm wondering if its worth investing in a good enclosure to play games on it, or would it just be a pointless investment?
