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.

What is even happening?

It was my understanding that we would always, automatically have a dedicated thread for any Joss show-

...this is also my recollection.

It's mine, too. I swear we had that conversation at one point. That said, I do think it's way too early to start a thread.

I think May is a good point to pick it back up. The pilot will be shot by then and there should be an indication of air date all being well.

I definitely think it should have it's own topic, by the way. It's a show which will generate discussion, and lots of it.

The situation has never arisen since b.org started and it's never been a part of our voted-on rules, therefore it ain't so.

It seems to me that any new Joss show should have its own thread, but not until it's actually on a network schedule. If people are worried about spoilers elsewhere, perhaps the pilot-related discussion could live in Buffy and Angel?

Why wouldn't it be in Spoilers?

speaking of Spoilers...what's the hot topic(s) lately?

It certainly could be in Spoilers, except that spoilers for everything are in there, and some people are very spoiler-averse. I'm a spoiler whore, myself, but I do understand that there are more delicate sensibilities out there.
