I've seen it. I'd bet more Buffistas would be offended by it than lamenting its loss.
But I don't think this is the place to discuss the merits of the show, just whether of not it gets a dedicated thread until its demise.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

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.

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

I really really think we should hold off until at least a few weeks when we get a sense of how the show is doing.
Although I don't agree, I think this is a good point and should be brought up in lightbulbs during discussion.
GC, thanks for proposing. I would have proposed this thread too, but I have less than zero time to discuss/debate merits this or next week ad infinitum. Good luck.

I think we have enough seconds. Can a stompy please open lightbulbs?

Thanks, GC. Could I possibly ask you to add a bit about automatically opening a thread without a vote for Joss's shows when the show is set to air so we can avoid this conversation entirely should it happen again?

Just in case we don't have enough seconds, I'll second too. Like Glam, I will be utterly baffled if it doesn't pass.

Ha! I was also going to propose adding something along these lines once Lightbulbs was opened.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
FTR, I don't really feel like we are a Joss site.
Would really hate to have a thread per show if shows don't even make a full season. Closing show threads will be worse than establishing the voting policy. Then again, I almost never post in show threads, so maybe I shouldn't care.

Okay, I hate to open a can of worms, but this is kind of an issue - new thread or not, where are we discussing Dollhouse tonight?
I vote B/A.
Why? 1. BSG comes on the same night, so there would be lots of crossover in Boxed Set. 2-It's a Joss show, not a Tim show (even though he's involved) 3. If we talk about it in Natter, we need to whitefont (which is admittedly not a big deal, I just think that there should be at least three reasons)
