Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

PD premiered to strong ratings. I'm not sure where it should be discussed, but it won't get cancelled after 4 episodes is the biggest shock to me.

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

It's being discussed in Boxed Set already. If peoplw want to discuss it in comedy (which makes me wonder why they wouldn't discuss other funny SFF there, like Eureka) I guess it complies too. Doesn't have to be just the one location.

My hesitation about Minearverse is because a) Tim's not working on it...well, that's the biggie. There is no reason for someone looking for the discussion to find it there, or people avoiding discussion knowing to not go there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, with the lack of shiny lines and the intent not to stifle conversation, PD can (and I'm guessing will) go in Boxed Set & Comedy, and Natter white-fonted. It's fine. We don't need to talk about where it goes, we can just talk about it. Where it goes. You know.

Although I do agree with ita, that it probably shouldn't be Minearverse, much as it has a thematic fit, Minearverse has a specific purview and PD does not qualify. I know, subculture, but I think we have to have a reasonable amount of intuitive usage for newcomers.

Maybe we should make a chart.

Maybe we should make a chart.

Would that be a pie chart?

Well, had I discussed it Minearverse, it would have been whitefonted. I thought that, after the second episode, there would be some interesting comparisons to make with Wonderfalls. But that's a conversation that I can have elsewhere on the internet if need be.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I would love to have that discussion as soon as I've seen the show.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Why do I get the feeling Kristen has been spoiled something rotten, like 3-day-old egg salad left out in the sun?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's sounds like a perfectly appropriate discussion for Minearverse, to me.

This is certainly not the correct forum for personal insults.

I don't think Burrell was insulting Kristen... just insinuating that she suspects K's got the mad spoilers.
