We can all vote no preference except for the folks in the thread and see how lopsided a tally we can get.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
IMO, I would prefer that the thread be kept open until about 1 month after the DVDs are released. Then I think it can go bye bye into the archives.

What le nubian said.
Particularly since we don't have a Network Drama thread.

I'll put that as an option on the proposal.
Would someone please open Lightbulbs? I have the required number of seconds.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Lightbulbs is open for discussion.

Is the new Cable Drama thread up yet?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Nope. We haven't agreed on a name, slug, or header yet.

I think the thread Title (the name that sticks with it in each iteration of the thread) should be straight forward and let people know what they'll be getting in the thread: Original Cable Drama.
You can have fun with the naming of each thread, as it rolls over. Make some proposals.
Here's some suggested wording for the slug (home page description) and header (top of thread description):
Slug: Discussions of original cable dramas we watch, that don't fit into the Boxed-Set or Premium Cable threads. NAFDA.
Header: A topic for the discussion of the original cable dramas we watch that don't fit into Boxed-Set because they're not of the Sci-Fi/ fantasy genre, and don't fit into the Premium Cable threads (because not all of us can afford HBO, you know). [list some shows and channels here to give people an idea of what they'll get spoiled for]. Expect adult content. This thread is NAFDA.
Play with it all, until you generate some interest and get something you like, otherwise you're never going to get the thread opened.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Would someone please explain why we need to specify "drama"? Why not "Original Cable Programming"?

What is even happening?
It's specified, because it is not a thread for general cable TV talk. In other words, it's not for sci-fi/fantasy, game shows, reality shows (like "Real World") or comedies, etc. It is dedicated to drama because that's what the proposer proposed and we voted.
