Our good riddance thread has been open a long time this year.
Anything standing in the way of closing it when AmyLiz announces her present?
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I still haven't heard if my Secret Santa received her present, which I sent back in January.

I wonder if Dani can help with that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I know it's been brought up before, but since the thread's about to roll over, I'd like to suggest that we update the title of Boxed Set to more accurately reflect the content of the thread.

First we need to admit to the actual content of the thread. Then define it. And accept it.
Me, I still want it to be what it says.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Well, okay. Recent discussion has been about Smallville, Stargate (both versions), Battlestar Galactica, and Farscape, according to my memory.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The 2 (or, I guess 3) big ones that are talked about that aren't there are, IMO, Stargate and Battlestar Galactica.
I understand what you're saying, ita, but I'd rather have the titel reflect reality than have the thread seem to be in denial about its content, given that I don't think pulling BSG and Stargate out would work/happen.
Barring all else, I'd rather see no shows explicitly listed than the current sampling.

I think each time we expand the list, then more attach. I have no confidence in it not becoming a general (or sci-fi) TV thread.
If it is to become that, it's worthy of more discussion, if not an actual vote.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Holy crap. I can't believe Box Set is ready for another thread. *sniff*
The slug "Discussions of other shows we watch. May contain HoYay." is still pretty accurate. And there's still sporadic Smallville and Farscape discussions, although they seem to be more or less eclipsed by Stargate and the new BSG nowadays. As someone who's been mainly talking about SG on the thread, I think it would be nice if "Stargate" is added to the list of shows, but if others want to keep it the way it is, I've got no problems with that either.
I know we don't talk so much about Due South, but I'd feel kind of weird if dS was to be taken out of the title, what with it being the show for which the Box Set thread (or its spiritual predecessor--my brain being like a sieve, I forget what it used to be called) has been created.
