The other thing (this is starting to get really tangled in my head) is that if this becomes routine, UnAms won't be able to do previously for fear of getting plot spoiled for the last few eps.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Except the people who post in UnAmerican
The Unamerican thread is not the Previously thread.
Ken's idea is an interesting one. Currently, the Previously thread slug says that it's for discussion of old Buffy eps. We'd been talking about broadening the thread to include old Angel eps since the reruns are starting in the fall. But since the Unamericans are about finished with Angel (I think this week?), why not use that one for the summer if you want to talk about Angel and remain pure? It won't require any repurposing other than what we'd already talked about.

I don't think that's a problem since it would only be used by the spoilery-averse Americans during the Summer. Once new eps start airing in the US, there's no reason why the spoilery-averse Americans can't come back to the main Angel thread.

Are you saying for right now, Jon? Because what about at the end of next season, when we've seen all of ours, the UnAms have a few to go and now can't go into previously or they'll be spoiled.

But after the end of the season+a few months we'd be talking about the cast for the next (Bob willing) season. I'm also not sure, because of the nature of discussion, that you can really switch threads that easily.

Good point. But it's a short term solution at least....

No, I liked it too, but then I started thinking about what would happen next season.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is the casting policy changing for the summer or changing for good?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
To be honest, though, I wonder if it will even matter--because we might not get this resolved before the premiere airs anyway, and discussion in Angel has trickled to a slow drip.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The proposal only applies to changes to the regular cast announced during the summer hiatus.
