Well, in all fairness, it had been thoroughly debated in recent memory.
And cilantro hasn't? Didn't we just do a poll?
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is the point of the x-posting? I think we've pretty much BS consensed on updating thread headers a few times a year to indicate current shows under discussion. That will probably require an occasional reminder in thread (or really, just in B-craxy) to talk about what to add/delete. I'm not sure what else we need to do here.

Well, less a x-posting than an announcement in each thread to get the new headers going, especially for the people that don't read Bureaucracy.
Off to post...

That makes sense. I just don't see why to change the existing headers except to add [Currently dissected in this thread: x, xx, xy and more!] at the tail end.
ETA: the rewording for Procedurals deletes "shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. " which a) is kind of key and b) was hashed out at some point. (I mean, it's obvious for this thread, others possibly not so much.) Adding currently active shows to the end of the description is no big deal, but changing the description of the thread purpose is something we didn't discuss.

FTR, Jesse's link was deeply wrong.
I may be scarred for life.

It is still there. It's in the header, not the slug.
I don't follow the thread, but I actually thought that was an awesome description.

Art Crawl!!!
Shows we watch in Boxed set: shows mentioned originally (but much less so) - also various Stargates, Terminator:SCC, Fringe, Chuck, Doctor Who, Torchwood, SJA, LoM, Ashes to Ashes. I bet we'll discuss Being Human there when it starts airing in the US. I'm guessing that Vampire Diaries discussions will go there. And if that Fox pilot about that's like Sex in the City with Werewolves goes - probably that too.
We discussed Journeyman in there (time travel), Kings (AU), Lost in Austen (AU- time travel to a fictional place).
Does that make sense?
Spy shows, doctor shows, cop shows, pi shows go in either Procedurals or Cable Drama - depending.
(PBS is showing season 1 of MI-5 - so procedurals, right?)
