I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

"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 I think that "HoYay" thing is just part of the original, outdated slug.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

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

Aw, using Captain Jack is cheating.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Uh, Stargate: Atlantis? Very gay show.

Okay, okay. My point is that the fact that the slug mentions HoYay should not keep you out of the thread, as I have found it perfectly enjoyable regardless.

using Captain Jack is cheating.

But inevitable. Is it still HoYay when the characters are actually grabbing each other and smooching?

Sorry, the mad slasher will leave that now.
