Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

That's a good idea, Matt.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Couldn't we put a Natter-esque "Discussion continues here" link at the end of the closed thread, and reference it with a link in the slug of the new one so anyone interested in the prior conversations can go back easily?

Fine with me.

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

Okay, it's open. Let us know if anything needs changin'.

Thanks, DXM. Looks good to me.

So can we talk about smooshing Cable in with Premium? Is this something that people are generally either okay or no preference about? Because Rescue Me is on, and The Dead Zone, Psych, Monk, and The Closer are back soon as well, like beginning of July. I'm keen on a place for discussion, and (probably unsurprisingly) I'd still like that discussion to be in Premium.

I want cable drama separate from premium because I don't get premium.

What are the whitefont rules, if any, in the existing premium thread?

Don't know where I stand on this, but I'll second if you're proposing, because I think this could be an interesting discussion.

Art Crawl!!!

And the 4400 and Dead Zone tonight. Although both of those could go in Boxed Set.

We also have Army Wives and the Starter Wife. (Although the Starter Wife is not that good.)

Assuming we do come to the proposal point, I'd like to see something with more options than straight up or down. Something like:

Pt. 1: Do you want dedicated threadspace for (non-premium) cable television?

Pt. 2: Do you want this to be a separate thread or a combined thread with the current Premium Cable?

Pt. 3: If a separate thread wins, whitefont yadda yadda.

In fact, the hell with it. Consider that my proposal.

Seconding brenda's proposal.
