Ann, that's a ferret.

The problem with "Genre TV" is, what is genre? Or for that matter, which genre?

If we're talking SF/fantasy, the thread is (at least in theory) open to Twilight Zone (all incarnations), Star Trek (ditto), and a number of other shows (Dark Shadows reruns air on SciFi, and right now 2 characters are 25 years in the future....)

If the idea is more "cult shows" in the sense of a devoted fan base without a lot of mainstream acceptance, the above would qualify along with such shows as Twin Peaks.

I think I've just convinced myself that a Genre or Fannish thread could easily end up a de facto General TV thread.

There is no question in my mind that that is what would happen.

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

Why do you think it'd be more so than the Due South thread is currently? Because it'd be better-publicized?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yep. Because I had no idea the Due South thread was anything but Due South until yesterday.

Okay, that makes sense.

Thrive to spite them

In Due South, the talk keeps coming back to the subtext. If you just made it "Genre TV" or something like that then it would change what would be discussed. If it's Genre then why not put Farscape in there even though it's been said that Farscape discussion different.

I thought that was the idea -- do away with Due South, Smallville, and Farscape and replace them with one Genre TV thread.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Honestly, as someone who posts in the Farscape thread, we could get rid of it and just absorb any Farscape posts into Natter. Because at this point in time, there are very few posts.

I doubt the folks who talk about subtext in Due South will stop talking about subtext because of a different thread title, though.

Actually, I'm okay with this, too. (We Farscape folk seem to be very accomodating), as there is so little discussion going on.

I would very much like a Sci-Fi TV thread, or something of the sort, so I can go talk about Farscape and any other Sci-Fi TV that I find worth discussing, but it's neither vital to my enjoyment of the board, nor an issue that I feel needs to be addressed right this moment (aside from our need to clean up the place).
