Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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?)

Art Crawl!!!

Also - BSG, Caprica, Moonlight - all in Boxed set. Enterprise - when it was new. (But we didn't love it very much here.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think the two buffistas who watch Starz can figure out where to discuss the shows. :-)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, I didn't even consider that Buffistas might be discussing Party Down. I forgot it would be in that thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I didn't even know Starz was still around.

Then again I haven't had cable in three years...

Starz feeds the Netflix streaming, no?
