You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Thrive to spite them

You don't want to keep it open for future discussions or maybe some watch and posts?

What is even happening?

The show has been canceled. Because we're adding new TV threads, I don't think we should hold onto old ones like VM. It's not like it's a Whedon show. The thread was a convenience to those of us who watched, but it's not a staple of our culture.

Because books.

This, sad as it is.

The LotR thread was finally closed, and I can't imagine we'll keep the Lost thread open after it's done.

Sad as I am to do this, I'll fourth it (I think I'd be the fourth).

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

Fourth.

Unrelatedly, what should we call the cable drama thread?

Cable Drama 1: Two Psychics and a Whole Bunch of Murders.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Is "drama" final or did we decide it was OK to discuss comedies in the new thread as well?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Not sitcommy-style comedies, but drama is a fairly broad term. ETA: IOW, I'd consider Monk and Psych fair game, but not Reno 911 or Southpark.

I got four seconds on my proposal to close the Veronica Mars thread: AmyLiz, megan walker, Frank, and SA.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Because I have something else I really need to be doing, I went fishing for quotes for titles.

Monk: "It's a gift... and a curse."

Rescue Me: (Johnny to Tommy) "Rock bottom. It just doesn't exist for you, does it?"

The Shield (Vic Mackey): "Good cop and bad cop have left for the day."

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'd like to see the comedy thread revived.

But of course, that proposal will have to wait until the current one on Veronica Mars is done.
