Wow. This series is awesome! Maybe it has a Wiki/{{TV Tropes}} page!
Yeah. And-- Wow! Looks like everyone-- Alice, Bob, Carol, even that [[ForumSpeak Lurker]] Zeke has added an edit or two! And this is only a few episodes into the first season!
You are witnessing a show in Troper Critical Mass. A whole mass of us turning to add to a show, {{trope}} or other wiki page. This is Administrivia/WikiMagic writ large, when interest, dedication and focus all hit at once, and a page just grows.
This doesn't just happen to currently in progress works, either. An old book or show can ride to sudden prominence and attain the mass. A single edit may cause fans to realize a favourite show SugarWiki/NeedsMoreLove indeed. SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced might mean every detail of a ''coming'' work that gets leaked to be gobbled up and added to the mass. What counts is the burst of interest and activity that sends a work's/trope's examples count from a short list to a suddenly comprehensive one.
Note that trying to ''engineer'' a Troper Critical Mass is rather hard. You have to cultivate the desired interest, keep people involved, and prevent them from drifting. Given that controlling any notable group of people, let alone {{troper}}s requires... well, consensus, it's best to just ride the wave.
However, some decent troper attraction methods include: being {{Troperiffic}}, having particularly GenreSavvy characters, or basically giving us lots and lots of material to write about. {{Averted Trope}}s and {{Subverted Trope}}s also help. {{Deconstruction}} helps ''greatly''. Tropers love those. [[Administrivia/NotADeconstruction A bit too much]], [[Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope even]].
A sustained period under Troper Critical Mass can rapidly put something in the JustForFun/TropeOverdosed ranks. The mass can be broken/turned to AccentuateTheNegative if things go sour in a work -- say, TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot or you realize [[TheChrisCarterEffect the writers aren't going to resolve their plot threads anytime soon]].
