@TheLethalCarrot Yes, I think we do. I had the discussion earlier with @Jenayah. And I think that the episodes of Black Mirror can be seen as akin to short stories, which we grant their own tag.
I wouldn't be against giving even Star Trek episodes their own tags, but I can see why that might be controversial.
But with Black Mirror I feel episodes should have their own tags.
Episodes don't need their own tags, unless it is stand alone work, which by definition it is not
short stories even if part of an anthology are stand alone
You would open the door to every show being tagged with episode which would be insane, what about series that don't name their episodes (may be few but probably exist)?
> My answer to that has changed, actually. It always used to be that it's just a bit of fun. But then sometimes we've done some things where we did explicitly refer to other episodes. I think the rule is that when a character says something that explicitly refers to something else, it's canonical. Also, they follow the same dream universe. That's the other thing that I tend to say. There's a line in 'Hated in the Nation' where someone refers to a crime that happened in 'White Bear.'
If the creator is indicating that that are actually somewhat connected that makes me think more that they shouldn't have their own tags
@SQB He's literally saying same universe and referenced between them, also a few characters appear in multiple episodes... I'd say that's enough of a connection to not warrant episode tags
Maybe the best way to go is Meta for this one... I'm not too familiar with BM, you don't seem either but SQB does so obviously we'll have different POV... Might be better to have more insight from more people
@Jenayah No, because I think a tag for an individual work is always in order. And in the case the individual episodes of Black Mirror are the smallest pieces of work that can be consumed individually. Yes, they are linked, but not necessarily so. They can be watched out of order, for instance.
I have noticed that a large number of male Jedi have facial hair if they are a Jedi master or higher. Is there a reason for why a lot of Jedi have beards if they are Jedi Masters or higher?
For those that want some examples:
-Qui Gon
-Dooku
-Luke Skywalker
-Ki-Adi-Mundi
I'm guessing https://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/19876/98028 needs a something-order tag but I'm no expert on this topic so I guess I'll just cc the local GoT expert I know of... cc @TheLethalCarrot

I've been adding tags for individual episodes of Black Mirror, when it came to my attention that not everybody wants them to have their own tags.
I've stopped tagging the remaining questions to ask this on meta first.
Do the individual episodes of Black Mirror warrant their own tag?
After answering this question: Is Needle’s portrayal in Game of Thrones faithful to the books? (And is it a shortsword?) I found out that the shows portrayal of Needle does not align with the books portrayal.
With this in mind are there any swords in the show that are faithful to those in the bo...
About two years ago I read a short story about a Jack-in-the-box that is unused. I believe that he was at the bottom of the toy box and where he came from was unknown.
In the house were a bunch of kids. If I can remember the oldest died in World War One. It took place in a nursery in the attic o...
@Jenayah When the network moved to https the community user updated "all" links to https from http... well all stack imgur and network links anyway... must have missed some
@RDFozz Eh, it’s too annoying to see the reply scheme on my phone, so I didn’t know what you were replying to. I was just addressing your original question.
I guess that would keep things cleaner for 15 years from now, when someone decides to remake it. And, there were the two direct-to-video movies from SG-1 (I think).
Anyone know a way to calculate how many clicks on the ↓ it would take to scroll to the bottom of a given page, aside from physically measuring the size of the cursor? (Or is there a Stack Exchange site where such a question would be on topic?)
What I did was: I clicked 10 times and measured the distance which was about half a centimeter. Then I measured the length of the whole scrolling bar which was about 17 centimeters. So assuming a negligible difference between clicks it would take about 340 clicks to get through the whole page.
@Jenayah Well also, maybe I'm just a fool, but my zoom only seems to go by 10%. Plus t doesn't go less than 20%. Which still only fits like a twentieth of the answer.
In IE 9 you can type in whatever number you want to get the perfect zoom but in Chrome all I see is the + and - in the drop menu. How do I choose a custom zoom and set it as the default?
I guess I could hold down the scroll button and time how long it takes to reach the bottom. In that case it should be traveling at a uniform speed, so the result should be accurate.
Another old story. This was a pretty dark but also psychedelic affair.

I am aware that it's not an original line from the book, but is there a canon or significant non-canon explanation for the operative part of the phrase:

The fact that this phrase is used in convers...
I remember someone explicitly bringing this substory up and debating how it fits in with the rest of the film. Maybe it was in some kind of review or something.
Do orcs in the Lord of the Rings universe wander the world like nomads sometimes or just live underground until summoned by the one controlling them?
Also do the orcs have a tribal like society as opposed to a more structured one with laws and whatnot?
Out of curiosity @TheLethalCarrot why vote to leave scifi.stackexchange.com/q/123573/98028 closed? As I posted in my reopen comment it's a meh question and answer would be meh too but it's not like future policy applies anymore does it?
I remember watching this film (dubbed in Italian) in the late 90s, during a bus trip with university friends. I don't remember if it was on VHS or DVD, but VHS is more probable.
It wasn't one of the various remakes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but the idea was similar: aliens are secretly ...
