2nd on the Bones discussion with ND.
edit: Which I'd put with House, because of the medicalness, though I don't watch any other medical-ish shows.
Zoe: My man would never fall for that. Wash: Most of my head wishes I had.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think there tends to be some The Closer talk too, although that is on hiatus right now.

What is even happening?
We could open threads on a trial basis from now until the end of May. Then we could close them, and talk about what worked and what didn't, and decide where we go from there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That'd make a whole lotta work for future archiving and sorting, is my first reaction.

What is even happening?
What? Adding three threads?
eta...
I'm sorry. I was unclear. I meant trying a version of what bon bon is suggesting (drama, comedy, whatever she suggested over the weekend) from now until the end of May, and then shutting them down, and deciding if we think they work. I didn't mean adding a thread for every show people watch.

I think test threads is perfect. Though over the summer is probably not the time to do it, with nearly everything in hiatus. But I see nothing inherently horrible in saying, "Well, that was a good idea but it just didn't pan out. Next idea?"

What is even happening?
Well that's why I said to do it from now until the end of May. A good number of shows are ramping up for sweeps. There should be enough topic generating stuff to see what makes us talk, and what doesn't.

If there's another sweeps coming (again??) sure, let's roll out the tests. Move from words to actions, see how it flies.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Looking at bon bon's list, I'd recommend a thread for procedurals. The Unit, Without a Trace, CSI, The Shield, Homicide even, maybe 24, could all fit in there.

Heh. Okay, the "there are people in a thread I don't know" excuse is a piss poor reason for not going in a thread, I'll admit.
Also, I didn't mean to put that forward as a reason for or against any of the possible thread proposals we're hashing out here. Or if I did, that was pretty stupid, and I withdraw it.
