Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Okay, that's good to know. I retract my suggestion.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Concur with Dana's assessment. Also, I thought that was the whole subtext of the fits we went into over splitting out Supernatural? The fact that Boxed Set was working so well that conversations were overwhelming one another? (And aren't we glad that all turned out okay? Boxed Set still has content, and Supernatural has content, and the blabbiness continueth.)
a thread I can't be a part of.
Refresh my memory: this is the spoiliness issue? (Which I personally think is an intractable one.)

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, it the spoiler issue due to too many shows being in one place. I'm in the same boat, Boxed Set has been dysfunctional for me for a long time and it just kills me that everytime a show that I'm interested comes up it seems to get swallowed by Boxed Set.

I swear to god I remember back in the day when we were swearing that BS was not a catch-all sci fi thread. I may be crazy though.

This. I had the idea that it had a definite vibe and was not catch-all. The reason I avoided it was because I don't see Ho Yay, don't care about it, and don't really want to discuss it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't think there's really any discussion of HoYay so much...ever. Like you, I don't care about and don't want to discuss it either. I think that "HoYay" thing is just part of the original, outdated slug.

**ahem** Plenty of HoYay with Who and Torchwood.
