All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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

I'm of the school that it doesn't warrant its own thread right off the bat, and if it doesn't, Boxed Set is where it lands.
I'm of the other school ("Your Kung Fu is weak!" "How dare you insult my master!") and I think that a Joss show will inevitably draw enough local interest to sustain a thread. Also, with GC I think it's good to get it going now to have a place to speculate and chatter about it.
My finger is itchy to put forth the actual proposal but I will hold off a bit to allow some counter arguments if anybody wants to dissuade me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I can barely think of it as a show at this point. I can't comprehend there being another actual addition to the Joss Whedon oeuvre. How will it fit in my brain?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
do we know an airing date?
FWIW, I don't care one way or the other about a thread, I am thinking that we may have a few dozen carts out in front of the lone horse.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think it should have it's own thread, but I don't think the thread should be opened until the show at least has a scheduled premiere date or when promos begin airing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We should wait until there's something to discuss or people to discuss it.

Good point.
This.
Here is my thoughtful rebuttal: Nuh uh!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It seems like we have the second, at least. But I agree that it's probably premature.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I think casting completed and production underway would be the earliest. Possibly later if they are just doing a pilot, given how well the pilot for his last show went down with the suits at Fox.
