I want to do it to see what sides people pick. I also decided we should be able to post in Lightbulbs anonymously. Because then we could talk openly without worrying about social capital.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, so you are not actively suicidal so much as practicing social darwinism.

Only if we can vote on it preferentially.

If you didn't worry about social capital it wouldn't mean anything! Kaos! Anarchy! Pure expressions of the Id not seen since MM was 16!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

a) is too good for him.
b) is not an option, it's a future.
c) waits in the haunting tones of his theremin.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I think the problem with Dollhouse is that it's going to get discussed all over the place if there's not a topic for it. If people don't like the show or have a problem with it, I'd imagine that might bug them.

Actually, it should only get discussed in Spoilers/Spoilers Lite for a while yet, right? Even after the upfronts, the only things not spoilery for the show will be the cast and, like, the basic premise. Even if we did have a thread for it, spoiler rules would be such that cast and basic premise would be just about all we could talk about in-thread, until like August. (Presuming it's a fall premiere show, which, if this thing is premiering a year from now, I reserve the right to stick my tongue out at all of you.)

Is official magazine press and such counted as spoilers? At the minute we're discussing it in Minearverse, Spoilers, Spoilers Lite and Buffy.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Is official magazine press and such counted as spoilers?
Yes and no. We officially unspoilered main credits cast, and I think it would be impossible to keep general knowledge of a show-premise spoily, but details like "Character X and Character Y have smoochies" would be spoily. Relevant text from the FAQ:
Q. What do you guys consider a spoiler?
A. Anything that hasn't been broadcast. So anything from the show and the preview trailers is okay, anything from TV Guide or anywhere else is a spoiler, including casting news, episode titles and plot twists. No white fonting. Spoilers should only be posted in the spoiler thread.
Q. Are all casting news items considered spoilers?
A. Most. When in doubt, treat them as spoilers.
Following is an explanation about the difference between "Hunk Lunkhead has a contract on the show" and "Hunk Lunkhead will be guest starring as Cheesy McBlowhard, the nemesis to Our Hero." I think that the formal spoiler rules are necessarily relaxed a little, for a new show, but the smoochies part is still a spoiler any way you slice it.

This is what I was wondering, too. It seems way too early for a dedicated thread.
