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

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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?

Our wings are not tired
Basically we've been told obliquely more than once that if we want to talk TV in any way that might work for us, we might as well look elsewhere.

I brought it up because of the talk of new shows, not about what was already in the thread. To me, this was about looking forward. I asked; I got an answer. I hadn't planned to go around in circles.
ETA: And just in case it seems like ND and I were posting in tandem on purpose, we're currently 2000 or so miles apart. Just coincidence. Or that weird brain sharing that sometimes happens with couples, I guess. Or he borrowed the brain and forgot to leave some for me. Which is also possible given how braindead I've been lately. And I'm going to stop rambling now and get some sleep.
