Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Dollhouse? 4 episodes. 6 max. We could start a trainwreck thread.

Ooh, someone's got a hankerin' for a calamitous collapse in the social capital markets. When the social economists declare that we've entered a social recession and we need Congress to enact a huge social bailout to avoid a decade of social depression, I'm pointing at you.

But you need to spend social capital to raise social revenues. That's basic socialnomics. I think someone once drew a curve or a bell or something.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Dollhouse?

I'm already resigned to Boxed Set and a very short run.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think someone once drew a curve or a bell or something.

On a napkin.

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

I do think The Guild fits best in Other Media... unless we want to start an Internet Media thread. ::ducks::

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Actually, OM makes a lot of sense to me.

It's not TV. It is other media by virtue of being developed for the internet. If it ever gets picked up for TV, then it can always move into an appropriate thread (I don't watch it, so I've no idea where it would fit.)

It's definitely not Joss or Tim product, so it doesn't belong in either B/A or Minearverse. It doesn't sound like it's a genre show, so I reluctant to say Boxed Set. Even so, it's not TV. It's internet based. Walks like OM, talks like OM, is OM.

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

If it ever gets picked up for TV, then it can always move into an appropriate thread (I don't watch it, so I've no idea where it would fit.)

It was recently picked up by (IIRC) XBox Live, and so could theoretically also go in Gaming. But I agree that OM is the best fit.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

There's no point starting a Dollhouse thread. I actually owe the people here an apology, as a few people tried to tell me it would get fucked up and I was all 'It's a huge show! It's launching with 24! It's a fall show! The network love the idea!'. Also known as 'I'm a clueless idiot!'.

So if I wanted to talk about a video on YouTube, or a podcast, or a magazine article, or something I heard on on NPR... that could go in Other Media?

Our wings are not tired

I'd think those would go in Natter.
