I look more rad than Lutheranism

Veronica Mars: Annoy, tiny blonde one. Annoy like the wind.

Heh. Yes.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Works for me.

Veronica Mars: Annoy, tiny blonde one. Annoy like the wind.

I've only started watching the show (it's on a cables channel that I don't have. My friend T fell so deeply in love with the show, she taped it and made me watch so that she'd have somebody to talk with about it), so as far as I could tell I haven't seen this quote yet, and still I like it a lot.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

The head writer was interviewed at Salon and he quoted this line from a review: "The first [TV] show to ever try to blend 'Heathers' and 'Chinatown.'"

Veronica Mars: Nancy Drew, Heathers, and Chinatown

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

'Buffy meets chinatown' is how I always describe to friends. Do I have to make a speech after a successful vote?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

so am I late to the title thread party? (sigh)

Do I need to start the discussion of the Fall TV thread?

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

You should make a proposal -- a little more detail than upthread -- for what you want. The seconders will be here anon, I'm sure.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Oh, you mean I need to add specifics? Whoever would have thunk it. oh my, I guess I do need hand-holding! :-)

Here's my proposal that I think needs discussion:

I would like to become a bit more involved in some of the TV discussions here, but I can't get to Natter in time for anything I have to say to mean anything. I know there are/have been discussions about thread proliferation and when individual shows need threads. I am interested in further discussion that may help address various peoples' needs/wants.

Embedded in this are two options as I see them: 1) A Fall TV thread which would cover new series that debut September, October, or November; or 2) a New Series Thread that could encapsulate all the new series airing from September 1, 2005-August 31, 2006.

The second option could capture discussion of "Prison Break", "Reunion", mid-season replacement series, and summer series.

I know a thread for Option 1 may be short-lived, however, knowing y'all buffistas, we might be on thread #4 by the time Christmas comes.

So essentially the two options proposed differ in terms of what folks may most desire: long-running threads (option 2) or more concentrated discussion (option 1). Neither thread, in my view, would cover continuing series.

Up with the sun

Seconded, with a preference for option #2.

That's a lot to chew on. But I'll Second because I think somewhere in there is an option that might work.
