When does The O.C. start? I checked the website. They have a countdown clock. The O.C. premieres on November 4, 2004.

Is your proposal still going to include closing existing threads?

Is your proposal still going to include closing existing threads?

Probably, yeah. I see it as what Kerry would call a "pay as you go" thing -- if we want to limit our total number of threads for both technical and ease-of-use reasons, we need to eliminate outdated threads before we start new ones. But if the techies tell me it's irrelevant, or the will of the people seems to be that it's not something to vote on, I'll take it out.

I am going to include the clause that if the show is canceled, the thread goes bye-bye.

The one surprise for me was how highly Gilmore Girls placed, because AFAIK no one has ever suggested an independent thread for it.

Wow. More than half the voters wanted Lost. Coolness.

It'd be interesting to see how this gets sorted out in a proposal. If as many as 54 people are willing to participate in the discussion of the show (although a good proportion of these may be the ones who were annoyed by the wf from natter), maybe a single dedicated thread would be the way to go. Then it could be made NAFDA, which will eliminate the white-font issue. Plus, it's got Fury, so there you have the ME connection, and I think it can even fall under 'genre TV' umbrella.

If seconds are needed, I'll provide one.

Count me as a third (if needed).

Forthded!

Particularly since I watched Lost for the first time last night - 4 eps in a row. Wheeeeee, I love how you guys corrupt me. First time I have made time for televised entertainment in a while. So worth the time.

For what it's worth, I'll fifth the motion.

Lost is one of the few shows that's worth it to watch that is not included in some reality or crime/law genre. It stays interesting and the speculation on all the character's backstories and future plot twists could be endless.

If I'm fourthed, I should probably put a proposal on the table. The draft would be:

Based on the results of the poll, these are the two shows there seems to be sufficient interest to start a thread in. Any threads started under this vote will be closed if the show is cancelled, unless there is a unique and compelling reason to keep it open.

1. Should we start a thread for "Lost"?
_yes
_no
_abstain

2. Should we start a thread for "The O.C."
_yes
_no
_abstain

3. Should we close and archive the threads for Angel Spoilers, Angel Previously, and (once the deathmatches are done ) Angel Quotables to help make room for these threads?
_yes
_no
_abstain

Lyra - in question 3 on whether to close and archive certain threads, would you allow people to defend their answer? It seems it might be important since you say:

unless there is a unique and compelling reason to keep it open

(what I mean is - is there a way to defend the answer within the poll itself, or would a person have to come here to post their reason?)

I'm a bad Buffista - I can never keep the procedure straight. Do we have to have light-bulbs open again for X days to discuss before this goes to a vote? That's my recollection, but I don't know if what we've already done counts towards that.
