dcp's Nilly found the rule.

Four "seconds" are called for. If you think Battlestar Galactica and the new Stargate:Atlantis are worthy of discussion that can not be wedged into a watch-n-post in Boxed Sets, say "Aye".

You can do it. Hold down the shift key. Press 'A'. The 'y' and 'e' will flow forward as naturally as your first impulse toward independence.

Heh, Gus is feeling impatient.

I haven't seconded because I don't get those shows anymore, and I don't really mind following multiple topics in the same thread. I'll follow the proposal discussion with interest, and it might very well change my mind, but it would be wrong to second your proposal without already intending to vote "Aye."

I bet you get more response once the SG and BSG shows are done airing on the west coast.

dcp, your bet is not playing out so well.

Here is an argument. Certain shows get feature prominence on Buffistas because they are out of the Whedonverse in some way. This is adhered to because of the history and genesis of the board.

A counter argument: The progenitors of the Whedonverse are moving on to other things. Some of those things are not what we think of as speculative fiction, and have less and less to do with the Whedonverse.

My assertion is that this board is about speculative fiction on TV. The shows I propose are the creative leaders in this arena. They are what we are about.

Gus, trying to get four people to second your proposal on a Friday night (or the weekend in general) is about as probable as removing cats, baseball and porn from the list of discussion topics.

Relax, and let this play out organically. Your enthusiasm may actually have the opposite effect you intended.

I do not watch either show so I cannot in good conscience second your proposal.

What shows? The only show thread we've added in recent times, that I can think of, is Lost. I didn't think the addition of that thread had anything to do with a Whedonverse connection.

Thanks, MFNlaw. I will chill. For some reason, this issue has gotten under my skin.

Kristen, there were some citations of the Mustard Guy connection around that time, but I am chilling and will not bring them up.

Behold me, being chill.

The Sci-Fi Friday shows being discussed in Boxed Set works for detailed discussion all times except for W&P. This problem would be solved if all Buffistas would just move to the Right coast. This would also help for coordination of F2F activities.

Hey, it's a plan.

My perception of Boxed Set is that it gallops along as functionally as can be expected. (Certainly, talk about one show does not overwhelmingly dominate, as Lost came to do at times in Natter.) Since it ain't any more broke than anything else, and I'm anti new thread generally, I'm not a fan of the proposal.

Hey! Paperwork people! How goes that?
