Faux democracy? How is counting votes and going with what the majority wants "faux" democratic in any way?
Well, there's no preferential voting...
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think ND was serious with this proposal:
Yes, I actually was. Sorry, I had to teach a class and just got back here.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm sorry, Drew, I can't second that proposal because I don't think it does anything overall for bolstering thread discussion. If it was one or the other, I'd probably consider it, or if you were proposing a more wider-range of shows around a theme. But I don't see the point of a two-show thread with no major ties, as opposed to Joss or Tim show threads, or some kind of qualification like gritty original dramas, or procedurals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aren't we supposed to be discussing Cindy's proposal in Lightbulbs, anyway?

I think we were waiting for a stompy to officially open it. (Except for me, as I will be going to sleep now. How did it get to be past 1 am?)

If that's the case then I'd happily propose a Bones or a Numbers thread. I'm just going with the shows that I actually watch. I'd love a bucket thread of the shows I'm watching.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Noise, I would second your proposal if I hadn't just seconded Cindy's, and most of why I am going all seconding happy is because I want focussed discussion. If you still want to propose your thread after this discussion, is done, please do propose again!
Eta: I'm very sorry, but I have been extremely confused by this while discussion and haven't been able to understand what any one person was stating or proposing or speculating on for some time. I don't want to marginalize your proposal at all.

What is even happening?
Noise, I kind of think of what you're proposing as the next step. We'll see what shows a decent amount of people talk about a decent amount, and propose the appropriate thread(s) (buckets and or dedicated show threads).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Lightbulbs is now open to discuss Cindy's proposal.

Trust me, as soon as this voting is done I've got three different proposals. We're going to have lightbulbs open for a few weeks.
