It was alright in the beginning, when the show was in early days and the discussions were mainly around the episodes and the show's potential. Now, it's at a point where not only are people extremely divided on it, but the show has so much in it that it's difficult to manage in a single discussion.
There's the obvious; the episode discussions. I noticed in my recent read through it that they tend to get muddled; people have different schedules. As such, you'll have two or three people talking about one episode, then someone else chimes in with a point on the one before it... the discussions get mixed up pretty easily. Then there's the fact that a lot of people come in to voice their opinions on the show's problems. I noticed a few times that there'd be a discussion, and then someone would chime in with a comment about the aspects of the show that disappointed them. Not to mention the more divisive discussions; as I write this, there's a debate in the thread going on about gender roles in the show and how they're portrayed. Maybe it's just me, but it felt like the thread took a very sharp turn there.
There's more to be said, of course, but I feel like those examples alone show that Hector's suggestion is a solid one.

Sorry to piggyback off this thread, but if we're suggesting new sections I think we could do with one for Fan Fiction/Headcanon. The headcanon threads are scattered between the 'regular' threads, and I think it would be better to separate them for clarity's sake.
I support the idea of a DuckTales section as well.

No point, in the same way how you don't do separate Duck, Mouse, etc sections, or movie sections, or so on. Just make separate DT threads on the section it's already in, surely. I can separate the posts about sexism etc to a separate thread, though they feel relevant to discussion about the thread anyway, but sure. Make new threads for each season, maybe?
Fanfiction has already the Art Place section, at most it could be argued to move headcanon threads there.
I'd say that having certain topics in the main thread is fine; it's mainly just that they were getting all mixed up because of the amount of things to be discussed at once. Having a thread per season sounds like a good compromise!

This will turn into a mess too, KKM. Since the Ducktales is obviously a different universe from the comics, there are countless different topics we could talk about. It needs its own section.
Worse case scenario as of right now is simply that the section will be flooded by Ducktales threads, which considering it doesn't get much activity otherwise, wouldn't change much. In effect, you already have your Ducktales section, it's just it's also the same place where you can talk about Frozen.
Considering the main topic of this forum is Disney COMICS, I have to agree with The KMM. It would be weird to give an animated TV show its own full forum section.
