Er, isn't that what we have in every thread's language except Natter?
What I'm saying is, if someone happens to wonder if Tim was eating of the psychedelic mushrooms when he wrote an ep, that's not falling under refrigerator. We can dictate whether a thread is American or unAmerican, Natter or non-Natter, but other than that, I'm not putting language into "law" about whether one can ask if Tim is married, or if he wears socks with birkenstocks.
Also, Allyson, have you given any thought to candy's question about when the thread would be created?
I am still mulling it around, but my thought was that August would be good, since we'll be getting a lot more news about Fall teevee line-ups, and it could coincide with the consolidation or closing of threads.
But that's mulling. I've not thought more on it, because some asswipe thinks I should be doing work on the day before a long weekend, simply because I'm getting paid. The nerve.
August is actually a very reasonable start date for the thread, as that's when the fall season goes into production. I can't swear by it, but Wonder Falls will also probably be shooting the first thirteen eps around then too.
involving Tim Minear, including such projects as Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Wonder Falls.
Just a note. Tim's never, to my knowledge, written or directed BtVS.
Still would like to put Wonder Falls forward, as Angel and Firefly are covered well elsewhere on the site.
Hmm. And here I thought Tim came from Buffy. He's so integrated, it feels like he's always been with ME.
I don't know everything, that's why I have the Buffistas.
After skimming, I have a question: Why not simply create an All-TV-Not ME thread? Tim's works would be in here, and, if the show is any good (not dissing Tim at all, but there's more than the writer to a good show), would probably take up a large portion of it. This could probably coincide with the closing of the Firefly and current-season Buffy thread (and Buffy Spoilage Lite), thereby actually freeing up space while creating a new thread. Will wonders never cease.
There's been "consensus" in the past that we don't want a general TV thread. And since the grandpappy vote passed, we're not going to have one (at least until September).
I'm assuming that the voting will start Monday night? That's 4 days of discussion if you include today. Allyson, please confirm that's OK. As I will be in L.A. and not have easy access to a 'puter, DX will be watching my back and making any last-minute changes to the ballot.
Also, we'll need a volunteer vote counter.
I can count, Jon.
I would want ntlr at mail dot rochester dot edu as the address.
Thanks. ita's the one who sets up the email forwarding.
OK - One definite yo (as in yes) for a Tim thread. Other ME alumni - maybe they'll end up here, maybe elsewhere - that will shake down on its own.
But as far as I'm concerened, Tim is
Gabba Gabba Hey One Of Us
and since he's not going to be an Angel factor this year (x-fingers for what he wants - no jinxing here), he deserves it.
Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't Allyson Fury's "bitch"? And she's in here pushing hardcore for Tim? May not be logical, but it adds to my argument pro in my own head.
Edited because it's late and I'm a bit lit.
