but before anyone schedules a flailing session, they ask if the time is "open". i.e. whether anyone thinks they'll be something else to discuss at that time?
I like this idea.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Dude, that exact statement is how the current brouhaha started.
I know. That's why I was skeered.
I'd certainly be willing to to a skip-to-here post, but I'll need lessons.

We've been talking in thread beforehand about when to do a W&P, and I just assumed anyone who had a conflict would speak up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's hiatus now anyway, for bunches of stuff, so the schedule's pretty clear at the moment.
To do a "skip to end" post, navigate to the last post of the w&p (click on that post number or hit "Last"), then copy what's in your address bar. Navigate back to the first of your w&p posts, and paste in that link.
It will look like this: Beverly "Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."" Apr 6, 2007 5:46:58 pm PDT

A skip to end would be great, if you guys don't mind.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
And this shouldn't need a proposal and voting and stuff, it's just changing the slug, really, I think.

for reals. ::sigh::
But! A skip to here would be great. I'm fine with the w&p as long as I can skip it and be sure that I'm not missing something new from other shows.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

err-- something about this part of your post makes me a little uncomfortable. I am, as I said, happy to put in a skip to here post, but that seems different somehow from going through (and possibly nillying starts and stops) to make sure other people don't miss anything new from other shows.

well, I wasn't saying nillying whatever conversation pops up amidst the w&p. From what I could tell while skipping and skimming, nothing about other shows was talked about during the w&ps, so I don't think I would miss anything by clicking on a skip to here link. which is why I like the idea.

As long as that's the general understanding, it seems like that should work well.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
God I don't want to even get into this...
But the whole conversation is kinda making me feel like the w&p - of a show that belongs in Boxed Set - is unwelcome. I get that there are people that don't participate or care, I do.
I don't even know what I want to say here. I am typing and deleting and typing and deleting and ... lather, rinse.
The w&p posts are grouped and nothing tends to happen in the middle. So a quick skim would get most anyone that doesn't care past it within a click or two.
I don't have any particular issue with someone offering to link a "skip to the end" once we're done flailing, but I kinda feel like I shouldn't even be participating in the w&p because it is sticking in craws.
There's the part where I could lobby for the okayness of the dvd w&p while the show is on hiatus (which is the only time we are doing these), and then there is the part where I really don't want to have to fight that battle in the thread where SPN is discussed.
I mean, we talk about lots of shows in here. Some I love, some I watch randomly, and some that aren't my beautiful cake. But this is the thread we've created and I am okay with skipping things that don't grab me.
