No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Thousands of posts. About the history of western movies.

How is that bad?!

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.

I think a Joss show has a likelihood for a full season that we haven't seen from Tim's shows

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:

I did not mean the showing having it's own thread. I meant the pre-show offtopic or tangentially related talk.

Ah, then we agree to agree I guess.

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

Maybe I'm superstitious, but I fear that the sooner the show has its own thread, the sooner it'll be cancelled.

The only reason why I'd prefer discussion of the show be in Minearverse for the time being is that I can't keep up with Natter and Boxed Set is rife with spoilers for shows that I've fallen behind in watching.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Can. Worms. Everywhere.

Kevin, I really think this can of worms was going to be opened eventually, with or without you.
