"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I would like to form a thread with the two other people who watch L&O:CI. (Hey, it has arcs now.)

Seriously, the more I think about it, the more I think that limiting the number of threads is one of the things that makes us different from other boards. Perhaps there is no slippery slope, but I fear that having people create their own threads is one step away from "Adam Baldwin is HOT," "Greetings to Tim's Beagles," "Why Moonlight Sucks" and "Nakedness on Eureka" threads.

Moonlight - Vampire show - surely that's Boxed Set.

And whew! Blood Ties is on at 11 Eastern so not in conflict with Moonlight.

At this point, we could have thread for Vampire Detective Shows

Yes, but I can deal with two shows at once (Hey, maybe CBS will put it On Demand.)

What about Bionic Woman and Sarah Connor? Even though they could technically be called sci fi, they don't seem like they'll have that Boxed Set vibe. Trying to sort that out in my mind, I see sort of an AU going on in BS type shows. I think of those more as "normal world, but with robots".

Though I suppose that argument could be made about Eureka too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What about Bionic Woman and Sarah Connor?

If Sarah Connor can take out both the Terminator and the T2000, she wouldn't have much difficulty with the Bionic Woman.

If anyone can defeat cyborgs, then it's gotta be Sarah Connor.

But right up against BSG - as i said.

I figured Bionic Woman was a Boxed set show.

i've always assumed that anything sci-fi belonged in Boxed Set and therefore Pushing Daisies, Sarah Connor Chronicles and Bionic Woman all fall into it.

I don't have a problem with PD being moved into Minearverse, but the other two seem to be obvious BS shows to me. if BS isn't for sci-fi shows specifically, perhaps the slug needs to be changed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, I don't see how SCC and BW aren't in Boxed Set.
