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.

1. we don't know absotively posilutely that a new Slayer wasn't called after The Gift, and
2. The writers could always retcon that because death #2 was a mystical death, it didn't trigger the slayer-calling-doohickey.
Using this logic, what's the point of the new FAQ? We don't know anything absotively if you put it to that test.
It's as if we were saying that we don't really know Willow is gay because she's been with a guy and the writers could always change their minds.
We can't be sure of either number 1 or 2.

And this story line with the SiTs is likely to send anything we get too specific on - arse over tea kettle. I'd limit it to comments that mention that off-screen, Joss has said the line runs through Faith but that was subject to change if he got a better idea and leave it as such.
Also
And maybe a link to Cindy's essay on the subject.

Yeah, except Mere, DeKnight and Bell might have just frigged that all up too, last week - having Cordelia speculate on why Angel can't remember the Beast but Angelus can. I forget her exact words, but they pretty much tied memory to soul. This of course, is a ridiculous tie, because ANGEL REMEMBERS ANGELUS'S EVIL DEEDS BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THE CURSE TO REMEMBER AND FEEL REMORSE and oh, yeah - that makes me really ranty, so I'm pretending it didn't happen. Carry on.
It has never been stated onscreen that the slayer line now runs only through Faith. Period.
Exactly, Jon.
WRT Cindy's comments on Angel: Right. On. Target.
Cindy--write another brilliant essay on the subject. You'll have listeners.
If a war starts, I'd like a War thread. I'd like a place to courteously and respectfully discuss what's going on. I don't want to poison Bitches or Natter for other people, but I'd like a Buffista place to deal with the Zeitgeist.
Is this possible? Could we keep it friendly?
sigh. thread proliferation....
I'm generally with Burrell on the anti-proliferation side, but I think a war thread might be a good thing if there is indeed to be a war. There are going to be a lot of people needing a place to discuss things, perhaps especially those who know people in the armed forces, and a lot of others who really won't want to see too much of it taking over Natter.
I'm violently anti-proliferation, BUT: if there IS a war, I'm in favor of a thread to discuss it.
