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?

Mea culpa! My memory is crap, apparently!

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)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Vortex, I love you, but I am laughing at you so hard.
