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.

Our wings are not tired.
I'd like to see it in its own thread and to see it created soon cause I want to know what all is going on with it. SO EXCITED!!!
This!

It was my understanding that we would always, automatically have a dedicated thread for any Joss show-- and I thought that because of Firefly. However, it does seem like anything right now could actually be discussed in spoilers, right?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
We had Firefly thread on WX starting on May 15 2002, so several months before the show started.
Right. And the thing is, we spent months and months arguing about topics almost completely unrelated to Firefly, in the absence of information about the show (information was in Spoilers, and forbidden from the thread). Thousands of posts. About the history of western movies. No talk about Firefly.
Also, generally speaking, haven't we discovered that it's a bad idea to open a new thread before you know if the show in question is going to last more than two episodes? Isn't that why we tend to discuss Tim's projects in Minearverse until they groundswell -- or at least premiere --, because his projects have a bad habit of dying a horrible death aborning?

How is that bad?!

I think a Joss show has a likelihood for a full season that we haven't seen from Tim's shows (for which I blame Fox).
Besides which...

...this is also my recollection.

why does it need a new thread? we have natter. for that matter, I am pretty sure we have underused threads already up. go. start obsessing over anything. see who joins.
I'd even go ahead and make an announcement if you want to make sure people know where the talk is.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You mean like Firefly?
I'm with those who want to wait until we have an indication that Fox (or whoever) is actually going to put it in their schedule.

All Tim's fault, apparently.

If it was actually going to be in Natter, I wouldn't care. If it was going to be in Boxed Set, I would.
Plus, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Joss shows getting their own thread. Although I certainly agree with this:
