The morning after whitefont

Whoa. This makes me feel like I should be asking my television, "Was it good for you?"

Hmm. I *would* like to have a place where I could discuss some of the shows more than a handful of Buffistas are watching & interested in discussing--for now, that seems like Lost, O.C., Joan of Arcadia, Veronica Mars and maybe Jack and Bobby.

Huh. I watch all of those shows. Wow, I watch a lot of TV. But the void--the gaping maw of emptiness left in the wake of Jossverse shows is just way too big, man. ::sobs:: I need to fill it with... stuff!

I would not be adverse to discussing one or more of these shows in a separate thread, but I'd prefer it not to be the Boxed Set, which has evolved into a subcommunity of sorts since before the threads-merging.

As for the white-font issues... I don't think any of these shows are being shown overseas right now. Can't the General TV thread, if it is approved, be NAFDA like BtVs or Angel was? Or white-fonted only until the West Coast catch-up?

As a TiVo user, I can say that such a thread won't be one I go into. For me, it's white font or no reading as I timeshift merrily through life. Not to mention the HBO shows I may need to watch on DVD.

But that's not why you're here. You're here for a capacity answer. Yes, we can possibly handle it. I do not have my definitive hat on this morning.

Hmm. OK. Haven't thought about that, since I tend to watch the TiVo'd shows pretty quickly--usually in the same night.

Then, even if we white-font only for a short duration of time--say, a week, to allow for tape-fairies and TiVo delayed-watchers and what-have-yous, we're basically gonna end up having a thread that's nothing but white-font. Yeap, that's be kind of annoying to slog through.

I don't much mind the whitefont, but clearly many people do, and I think that would be the main problem with a General TV thread. Because if we do whitefont all show discussion, people will be annoyed, but if we don't whitefont any show discussion, there's the large possibility of accidental spoilage. So if you missed Lost one week and had to wait until the weekend to see it, but you caught The O.C. at the regular time, you wouldn't be able to go into the General TV thread to discuss Teh Seth without being spoiled for Lost. I prefer the idea of seeing if there will be a couple of shows that generate a large amount of discussion, and dedicating a thread to each of those (if we can, of course).

edit: overexplainy, because xposty.

My suspicion is that a couple of episodes in, it's going to be clear that Lost deserves a thread of its own, because it's plotty and arcy the way that Buffy is. I'm happy to wait until the volume's up to the point where a thread is obviously necessary.

Jossverse works for me, because I can read a week's worth of comics in one sitting, and I just don't go in until I've done so. Peachy. TV wouldn't work near as neatly.

Unrelatedly, it looks like COMM transcends language. I think.

And who can argue with that?

Who reads Swedish?

Did you notice that one of them had taglined Erika? So cool.
