Wondering whether I should stop watching the Endurance Run, thoughts?
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Jul 10, 2008
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is a role-playing game developed and published by Atlus for the PlayStation 2. It is chronologically the fifth installment in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. Like its predecessor, its gameplay combines a traditional role-playing game with elements of a social simulation. Its critical and commercial success spawned a sizable media empire, including several spinoff titles.
Receiving Persona 4 from Gamefly this week.
Maybe temporarily if you don't want to know spoilers until you're at least up to where they are, then start watching again. It's really your decision, and whether knowing what you're going to come up on in the game ahead of time bothers you...its different for everyone, don't think its something anyone else can really answer for you.
I guess it depends if you don't mind the story being spoiled to you. When I bought Persona 4 I stopped watching the Endurance Run until I got passed them in the story and when I did, I caught myself up with all the episodes I missed. The only difference though is that I bought the game at around the time they just saved Yuikiko which isn't far in at all so it took me no time to pass them.

I know I have to make the decision for myself, but I also wanted to see see what others in the situation were doing.
Ah, btw, I wasn't stating that to sound like I'm being an ass to you, just saying our opinions or choices shouldn't necessarily be yours, since only you know how you feel about spoliers and what not. I myself, didn't start my first new game of P4 until after I was into watching the first 5 or 6 episodes of the endurance run. If they were any further than they currently are now, I myself probably would stop watching until I passed them since I wanted to go in mostly fresh.
You'll catch up the endurance run in no time; I did it in like 2 days however that was weeks ago. They 27 hours in or so and in a normal playtime (someone not laughing with a friend and pretty much making commentary) it'll be maybe 15-18 hours. You also should know the fights and beginning if you have been watching from the start; try to pass them and start watching again if anything.

In most things I don't like spoilers, I'm seriously considering not watching the ER until I pass them.

your probably right, being stuck in a wheelchar I have lots of time on my hands
While it's important to work on the social links for your party members (if you're watching to this point that's Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, and Kanji), you can completely change the way you handle getting stats or the other social links that you're able to do so you can see a different part of the story than what they've already covered. (Although Chariot's easy to do since it's right outside the door to your classroom, maybe spend more time at the day care and work on Fox's SL when you get it more diligently than they are.)
I am still watching it after I beat the game, can't wait to see their reactions to certain things. However for me I don't watch em at home and watch em at work; so getting paid to watch em is why I continue to watch.
I stopped watching when I got mine, which was around Ep. 70, and it only took me 6 episodes to catch up, and now I'm two dungeons ahead of them. o_O
The point is, it probably won't take you that long to catch up to them if you're dedicated, so don't worry about missing a few episodes.
It's also worth noting that the Endurance Run won't be running (for lack of a better term; no pun intended) this week due to E3, so you may not have to worry about falling behind as long as you catch up this week.
