Yeah, I think no whitefont in the FF thread is fair. The only new thing to talk about is the movie. If you haven't seen it, and don't want to be spoiled, stay out of the thread.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I do not like the idea of having discussion of the same thing in two places at one time, though. Really not.
The problem, IMO, of having the discussion in Spoilers is that people (and by people I mean me) may/will feel the need to read everything other people have said before before posting their (my) thoughts.
Because they were spoilers, then, dammit. The previews were like pre-airing downloadables. I mean, I won't flounce, or anything, but movie discussion in the FF thread makes sense, IMO.
(Why would we need to whitefont, even for a few days? What purpose would people who don't want to read about the movie have to go in the FF thread?)

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

Yes.
There shouldn't be a choice. There should be a place, so people who are looking to talk know where the b.org talkers are.
Right now, I'm leaning towards a blackfont in the Firefly thread (all things Firefly -- people have been talking about the movie there, Cindy -- it's not just about the TV show right now), and closing of the Spoiler thread.
If you wanted to talk general Buffy but hadn't seen the latest ep -- yous stayed out of the show thread until you were prepared. This is much the same.
Whitefonting some seems like a conciliatory gesture (go team social lube), but is probably overdoing it.

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
Yeah, I think we ought to be able to talk about the movie straight-up and immediately in the Firefly thread. (Isn't that what we did for LotR?) Maybe with a nice big reminder on Thursday that as of Friday there will be movie discussion there and so people should unsub if they don't want to read it.

After reading through the discussion here, that sounds best to me. Natter for anticipatory squeeing, FF thread for full-on discussion, Spoilers for - well, catching up on earlier discussion I guess.

And talking about the show for people who haven't had a chance to see the movie yet goes where? Boxed Set?

Well, if they were behind an episode or six in a show thread, I think people just waited.

What is even happening?
To sum, is this where we are now?--
Starting Friday, the regular FF thread will be all things Firefly + Serenity ?
There'll be no white font, even for HSQ moments in the film?
(am personally quite good with this, but keep checking the url atop my screen, because I can't believe I'm here)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I guess I don't really care where the discussion goes. So, um, that's my vote.
