'Get It Done'
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!
Hear ye, hear ye!
PROPOSAL
I propose we open a thread for dicussion of unaired episodes of Wonderfalls. It wouldn't have to be called "spoilers," since the show is a limited run. Either you've seen it, or you haven't. At this point, enough people have seen, or will see, unaired episodes that we should provide them a place to discuss them.
Discussion opens now, through Tuesday the 14th, let's say noon board time, at which point voting will be open through Friday the 16th.
I think this is a good idea because I think people will get to see the episodes in dribs an drabs. Some of the unaired episoes are already in circulation. This is also how we dealt with the unaired (in the US) episodes of Firefly.
My only qualm is that it might generate more Wonderfalls fan interest and I'd rather the outside attention died down a bit. But since the episodes are not on a scheduled release, I think the effect will be muted.
With Kristen in a clever title without Tim's name attached.
Those are basically my pros and cons as well. It just seems that having nowhere to discuss them does our community a disservice.
I also think it's a good idea.
I further think that referencing Wonderfalls indirectly-"Who's got your Lovesick Ass now?" for example-will help mute the response.
I dearly want a thread, would rather have it not-Timstamped, and I think that by the time we've gone through discussion and voting, the media-induced flurry will have stabilized enough that it won't draw undue attention.
Here's a problem with "hiding" the thread -- can we actually come up with an obscure yet recognizable slug as well? Because that's googlable too.
Well, there's no way it would be up and running before next week anyway, right? What with the discussion period and voting period? I'm thinking by then interest should have flagged even more. (Outside interest, I mean.)
What everyone else said. Not gonna go, but I think there is a need for it.
I see why having a seperate thread would be nice to discuss the unaired eps, but weren't the unaired eps of Firefly discussed in the Firefly thread?
Maybe if there was a Wonderfalls thread, devoted just to Wonderfalls, aired and unaired eps, it would take some of the pressure off Minearverse (which I am assuming is the point of the proposal - tell me if I'm wrong) and then when Tim has something else in the hopper, we can talk about it in Minearverse.
