I look forward to reading this article, as I think it may help me think through some themes of anticipation/waiting/temporality I am working through for my final paper. But in terms of some preliminary comments: I am interested in thinking how this notion of “buffering” will complicate our previous understandings of televisual “flow,” as we think about post-TV in digital spaces. As TV is no longer tethered to uni-directional broadcast, the ontology of “flow / segmentation” (depending on which theorist you subscribe to) becomes susceptible to the dynamic encounter of website traffic and viewership—animated even further by debates in net-neutrality. “Television” can literally crash and due to the instability of the web. What does this mean for our previous theorization of televisual flow?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10841378690944984051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512870689197311087.post-18976383189084585662017-04-25T09:41:20.948-07:002017-04-25T09:41:20.948-07:00Wow, Sasha!

I'd also be interested to read this article in tandem with Anna McCarthy's "Television While You Wait," perhaps the two might reveal how the waiting game has changed over time.
