TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

It's using the word "whilst" I think.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
We don't even have a water cooler. But sometimes we have discussions in the break room?

In our break room, Fox News is often playing. I don't stay there long.

Art Crawl!!!
We eat our lunches in the conference room. . . if there isn't a meeting.
There isn't a water cooler but we sometimes have bottles of water and there is coffee.

They're going to be airing it without widescreen (so some of the screen cut out)...
That's the way FOX airs it as well, at least on their non-HD channel. It's made for both formats (like Firefly). There was an interview a few weeks ago in which Joss complained about having to make it for both aspect ratios so that there couldn't be one true format. I watch on FOX in 4:3 and then rewatch on Hulu in 16:9, and it looks genuinely good both ways.
Isn't televised slash much more entertaining when it's not intentional?
Well, if it were intentional, then it wouldn't be slash, right?

I'm resistant to that definition of slash, as it would disqualify Angel from consideration. And it's basically my gold standard for slash.
I do buy that Torchwood doesn't count, as it eschews subtext in favor of hot guys blatantly making out.

Isn't the "unintentional slash" usually quite intentional, but like an easter egg? I've always assumed, since becoming aware of it, that the writers and actors know exactly how what they're saying or doing can be viewed, but it's under the radar so as to avoid upsetting the networks.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I think a lot of unintended slash is originally due to chemistry between the actors (see Viggo and Orlando in LotR), and if TV shows decide to pursue that accidental subtext, then it becomes overt slash (see Tim Minear's constant reference to Angel being the "gayest show on television" while it was running).
