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!

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

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.

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.

And besides that, Previously is both Buffy and Angel discussion about previous seasons, not spoilers.

Yes, but hence, spoiler-free. Granted for a few months IF there is a next season, spoiler-free would need to stay out because, ironically, they'd be the spoiled ones (compared to the UnAmericans). But I'm not sure if there would be any huge deal casting spoilers next summer. Though, who can predict these things. Couldn't we agree to hold off the Summer season regular stuff until the UnAmericans were through with Angel, which is pretty much what happened this year and we'll still have almost 3 months of slightly-spoiled speculation?

Just a thought.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The proposal only applies to changes to the regular cast announced during the summer hiatus.

I'm pretty sure that Trudy was asking if the proposal only applied to *this* summer or if it would apply to all future changes to the regular cast that are announced at the beginning of summer. Wouldn't the answer be the second?

That was my understanding. But nothing during the actual season.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The proposal is for all summer changes from henceforth. Meaning for as long as we have threads for active ME-related shows.

That's what I assumed, vs. just the summer of 2003.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Why only ME related? I would think it would be all shows, period.

Nope. There has been considerable conversation that casting should be fair game period. Casting, official press releases, etc. If that's been discarded, cool.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I thought this was always about the cast list announced in what is now the upfronts, but before we were calling "listed on the website, or in official press releases" I never thought it applied to anything else.
