To clarify, i meant buffy-inspired in that the pitch- high school girl + genre - is surely inspired by the Buffy pitch. I think not watching Buffy is why it's post- not sub-: Rob thomas does his own interetingthings with the idea. But that's for the (hypothetical) thread
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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!

But I won't be too disappointed if we don't get one either. I feel that VM nicely represents the spirit of Buffy, but breaks significantly from the actual genre. I wonder what long-term impact that would have on this board, if any.
This sums up my feeling. I'll vote for it, but it won't kill me not to have it.
Is there a minimum number of responses required when/if it goes to voting?

Hey. New board.
I fully support the idea of a Veronica Mars thread, because, well, I like reading comments and discussion on good TV by smart people. I certainly think the show has much of the same stuff going for it that Buffy had, and is probably closer in feel to Buffy than, say, Firefly, or Lost, or probably any of the Boxed Set shows. The best Buffy discussions have nothing to do with the fantasy genre bits, they have to do with the characterization and plotting bits, and Veronica Mars has that stuff in spades.
Of course, there are other places out there to discuss VM (if the communities are generally more annoying than here), and many of us are already regulars at those places, so if the Buffistas decide to nix this, I will not be petulant. Probably.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I only had a brain...
I think that Veronica Mars has Buffy-nature and I'd be pleased for us to have a live and active TV-based thread. I'm in favor.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
of course i'm all for it. i have many issues staying caught up with natter. so i miss any conversation that occurs about the show and i do love to discuss it.
intellectual conversation about it would be nice. i'm certainly not going to get much of that in the VM community i maintain.

The Lost thread was pretty live and active during the season, wasn't it?

Yes, but I have no brain. Okay, two L&ATV-Bs.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Airing at the same time!
Really, it's so annoying that VM and Lost are going to air at the same time. I mean, it's work-around-able, but still. Feh.
