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.
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 I think that "HoYay" thing is just part of the original, outdated slug.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.
Aw, using Captain Jack is cheating.
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.

But inevitable. Is it still HoYay when the characters are actually grabbing each other and smooching?
Sorry, the mad slasher will leave that now.

Doesn't that just make the slug accurate?
The conversation mentioned catch all SF before the thread was created. I Nillied it way back in the day and found that mention at least.
But BS isn't being used in the manner it was created for, so much any more.
What manner do you mean? Sci Fi and fantasy? It looks like that's what's happening to me, and I'm curious about why people aren't finding it so.
Like I said, I really was not trying to start a huge debate again; I was just asking on the off chance that there was some alternative for new shows. I think Drew and I are in the minority in terms of Boxed Set not working for us, so no need to hash it out again.
Like I said, I really was not trying to start a huge debate againIt ever ended?
Not to just sound snarky, but I feel like this conversation keeps going around in the exact same circles. Boxed Set works for some and doesn't for others. I don't think that is going to change. And it's absolutely not not going to change in the past without a TARDIS. So perhaps more talk of looking forward if we want to keep discussing this?
