I think the whitefont will only become a big factor if the shows get involved in parallel or crossover story line developments. The quick-edit is easy enough but it will be very frustrating for the tape delayed to nothing to see here, move right along see the frequency of big blank spots increasing dramatically.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

A specific example: I just sent Jim & Fiona tapes with the last of the aired Firefly's and Buffy through episode 7.10. I haven't sent them the last Angel yet ("Apocolypse Nowish" or whatever it's called). They probably won't get that episode until some time in February.

They are, however, not viewers in NAFDA space, and this wasn't something that was done at WX, it's something that just started happening here, and only after it became an issue in Firefly. It wasn't really discussed, it just sort of occurred, and if you weren't in the Firefly thread, you weren't in the loop on it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's not my impression. I feel like it's something we've been asking people to do in the Buffy and Angel threads for a while.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I remember that back on TT we usually asked people to whitefont until the end of the week on the Buffy and Angel threads, so that people who got WB shows on other stations on Saturdays could catch up. I can't remember when we started asking to whitefont for the whole current season.

Sometime this season. The Canadians being a day behind us, there was some taunting in whitefont when they were doing the standard Monday Buffy taunting. Anyhow, like Victor and I said, if it becomes an issue, we can revisit it then. If it doesn't, well, it's just a little whitefont.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

No, I'm with Plei. It just kind of... happened. I'm pretty sure it was never covered in Bureaucracy (before now).
For what it's worth, I'm happy to whitefont for some sort of span of time, given that there are enough NAFDA folks who are on delay that it's worth it (which it seems that there are). Sounds like the consensus is to revisit the issue of a set time limit if there turns out to be some sort of need to discuss one show in the other topic, and otherwise we treat NAFDA Buffy as an Unamerican zone for Angel purposes? Is that a fair summary?

Sounds good to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And Angel is UnAmerican for Buffy, right?
