Are we worrying unnecessarily? How likely is it that someone will come here specifically looking for info on Gus and the origins of TV Tropes?
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't consider the FAQ a reaction to worry. I consider it a repository of facts, and if something generated a lot of questions, why not deem them frequently asked and answer them there?
I don't see a downside to laying out the information.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't see a downside to having the information readily and easily available. Even if it's just for us.
I know I personally flinch when people here or elsewhere ask because it means going over it again. Having an entry to point to and not have to relive it all in my head every time, even if it is someone else recapping, makes sense to me.
It's a question that has been frequently asked.

This reminds me that I promised to work on the FAQ. I need to get on that.

I'm agnostic about the FAQ entry. While I'd rather not relive it, I agree that it would be great to have a place, to which, any future questions can be quickly dispatched.
More than anything, I truly appreciate Cindy's rational and efficient recap. She's got a talent for such things!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Since, Heroes is now officially canceled,
I propose we a) Close the Heroes thread; b) set a date for closing the Lost thread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seconded.

set a date for closing the Lost thread.
Wouldn't that have to be April, 8th 2015 at 42 seconds after 4:23pm?
