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.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

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).

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Did we vote on the closing of LotR, or was it by acclamation? I remember that Atlantic Canadians was closed by request of the Haligonians. I was thinking that before we open Lightbulbs we could just post a notice in the VM thread that we're going to close the thread in a week unless there are strong objections, in which case we can then open Lightbulbs to discuss Cindy's proposal.
