'Serenity'


Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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

It's not. Just because Ausiello says it for the third time doesn't make it true.

Oh, that's a nice interview. And it's grand to hear that he's hoping for renewal, even if he's got a backup plan all ready.

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

I read (somewhere) that BAG ditches his pilot if SCC gets greenlit for the next season.

I'm guessing that's not a spoiler because we saw him last episode --kosher? Dodgy. I'm going to whitefont.

That was my theory.

Art Crawl!!!

It's not a spoiler because of the end of the finale.

In the course of discussing the current structure for television threads, it was suggested to modify the slugs (and sometimes headers) for TV bucket threads to more adequately represent what is discussed in each one. The idea behind this revision is to make it clearer when looking at the list of thread titles which shows are discussed where.

This (non-inclusive) listing would not be to restrict what can be discussed in a given thread, but rather to give an idea as to which 3-5 shows are likely to be dominant in that thread at that time. They would be updated every 4 months or so to reflect the changing network/cable seasons.

The decision as to which shows belong in the current slug will be based on bullshit consensus within each thread. When the call goes out (like now!), please discuss in-thread and then post any update or change in Bureaucracy so that the stompies can update the slug.

Boxed Set in particular could really use an update.

I would propose the following basic slug:
Discussions of sci-fi/fantasy shows we watch, including, but not limited to, ?, ?, and ?. May contain HoYay.
Please revise and fill in relevant titles for the upcoming months and post the update in Bureaucracy.

Currently, the header for Boxed Set reads:
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Please revise as appropriate and post an update in Bureaucracy.
