And what Teppy said on the spoiler policy. I think it's sound.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
But where would we discuss?
It's clearly well loved, so it will be discussed. Heck, go ahead and discuss it in the Ikea thread. Me no care.

(Wouldn't The O.C. be included?)
Dunno. And now I'm all skittish because an Ikea thread looks too much like a general TV thread.
So what does that mean?
Facts:
I'd like for us to find a way to consolidate Due South/Smallville/Farscape.
Questions:
Is there a way to do this without creating an overly general thread?
Is an Ikea thread specific enough?
What would it be used for and how?
Is my dehydrated brain creating contingencies for problems which don't exist and most likely won't?
And how did bo-bita and I both coincidentally wear pink today? Is that about planetary alignment?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Fannish TV as a name takes me right to Ikea. It goes like this in my brain:
Fannish TV. Finnish TV. Finns are near Swedes. Swedish TV. Swedish Furniture. IKEA!
Okay, if we do this I want this in the blurb.
In the ever-popular Universe Of Which I Am Queen, we would handle spoilers in a Fannish TV thread by having no future spoilers, posting allowed as soon as aired, West Coasters read at your own peril during those three hours. I'm very strongly against any kind of a whitefonting time limit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The OC isn't genre.
But it's got fans. (And a rudimentary fandom with fanfiction and fansites.) So is it "fannish TV" or not?
I'm really not clear on how we'd keep this from becoming, as Askye said, a junk drawer. To me, it feels like creating a General TV thread with a different name. [massive x-post]

Maybe we need to call it Genre TV.

ita wore pink? Oh dear. Either msbelle is wearing black, or there is a serious imbalance in the universe. If we don't act quick, the FC (the First Chartreuse) will take advantage of this rift and try to take over the world.

I think even if we don't intend to create a general TV thread, the fact is that creating a thread with more general interest covering a variety of shows results in people talking about other shows there.
We tend to discuss new topics in the thread most closely related to them. So I expect that if we didn't have a Farscape thread, Farscape would have been discussed occasionally in Firefly (where it was anyway, IIRC) and/or the DueSouth thread (where the SG-1 discussion appears to live).
That's the likely way of it. So while we don't want to create a new general tv thread, consolidation of three genre tv threads into one genre tv thread is going to make that one thread the closest thing we have to a general tv thread. I think.
