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.
Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!
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.
Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't Allyson Fury's "bitch"?
Yes. Love him verra much. He's not a Buffista, and has a very different body of work. Doesn't have his own show, and current plans are between him, his agent, and the morsels he tosses me, from time to time.
I hope that there will be enough support for a Fury thread, someday. He's my Big Daddy, yo.
Allyson, please confirm that's OK.
Confirmed. I need to rework the ballot tonight with a start date and such.
