I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Just caught up. I am not sure I could love ita's post up a ways more. Emphasis MINE.

Also don't see myself discussing Pushing Daisies anywhere other than BS-- no reason to stop other people. Sort of like my cable TV discussion happens outside of that thread, and mostly outside of b.org.

In my head it belongs in BS, and if stuff belongs in a thread I don't want to discuss it in, I don't try and move it. If discussion doesn't pick up organically where it works for me then I just have to get over the board being "broken" for me in that regard.

I do think the word "broken" is overmuch, and would rather describe the cable drama thread as "unsuitable" for me.

I get that some people are not happy discussing shows the way they are now, and that others would like places to discuss shows that either aren't being discussed or aren't being discussed where they can partake in the discussion. I get all that.

What I don't get, is the need to discuss what we want - to see if enough other people want the exact same thing, before we make a proposal - where we then will discuss it some more. If you know what you want, propose it and see if enough of the community agree.

Ginger,

I have a weird devotion to L&O:CI. So just let me know where and when you want to discuss. Never missed an ep.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Okay then. Since time is a growing factor, I'd like to propose the creation of new bucket threads, including Comedy, Procedurals, and Drama We Watch That Isn't Procedurals.

Do you think that USA will do their thing and air L&O:ci more than once a week?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Actually, that would go in Cable now, wouldn't it?

I like your "quirky drama" suggestion earlier. I'd prefer that to just "other stuff."

Yes, it would -- I saw an ad for it during the 4400 tonight.

::grin:: I hereby amend to Quirky Drama then. Those totally weren't going to be thread titles, though. I am crap at making up titles.

Wouldn't a drama thread be a no for the next 6 months due to the proposal that was just voted down?
