So, without further ado, here's the Hiatus Breaker Re-Watch Schedule!

*This schedule is subject to change based on the series 5 premier date (once released) and other random reasons I can't think of at the moment. An announcement will be made in advance if any changes are made and this schedule will be updated.
Between each episode we will have a particularly short intermission to use the loo, refill popcorn bowls and refresh alcoholic drinks (2nd episode will begin at 9:50 and 3rd at 10:40 - all EST times). This should (on all nights containing 3 episodes) put our re-watch time at 2.5 hours (AKA, the length of a Harry Potter movie). In addition, each new episode will come with it's own commenting post, so newcomers can easily join in. I'm super OCD friendly like that.
Also, in the grand tradition of Hiatus Breaker Re-Watches, we'll continue to have our Re-Watch Drinking Game. Here are the rules and current categories:
ONTD_Merlin Drinking Game RULES*
*Rules are subject to change at any time or may possibly be forgotten due to inebriation.
Lastly, for those of us who may not have downloads and/or all series available on DVD/Netflix, we could use a host of streaming links. If you have some streaming links, please shoot them to me in a PM. Thanks!
If you have any suggestions for new categories to the drinking game or have any questions pertaining to the schedule, please shoot them my way! :)

ONTD_Merlin Drinking Game RULES*
- We do not encourage the act of underage drinking, drinking and driving, or excessive and/or binge drinking. Please drink responsibly!
- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DRINK ALCOHOL! See above reasons for why, but mostly because this is for. fun. However, if you're all set having a shot of vodka/tequila/bourban/turpentine everytime one of the rules are hit, then by all means, have a shot.
- We take a "shot" (your choice in size and flavor - obvs) every time one of the following happen:
- Merlin creepin' in the dark.
- Morgana sneakin' out of the castle.
- Someone else sleepin' in Merlin's bed.
- Uther blames something on saucery.
- Merlin does magic in the open.
