Here's what I think will happen if we open a Fall Season thread. Lots of new shows will be discussed, but eventually it will boil down to a few shows that can carry discussion. For argument's sake let's say it's Prison Break and Reunion. The thread will become the default PB & R thread, and next season (assuming both shows gets renewed) we'll have proposals for two more tv show threads.
In other words, I think the Fall Season thread would become a breeding ground for serious proliferation.
I've skipped a little, but I need some clarification. Is this for only new shows that are starting this Fall, or for any show on the lineup this Fall that doesn't already have a place in another thread?
Denise, new shows this Fall.
Thanks, le nubian.
And what happens when the shows aren't new anymore? Would the thread roll over next year and only accomodate shows that were new next Fall? Or would it continue to be a place to discuss the second seasons of these previously new shows?
I think that's an issue open for discussion.
Okay. I'm not even sure which I would prefer. Just curious as to what exactly is on the table.
This is the only solution I can see that addresses all of these meta-issues as well as the new proposed thread at hand.
It may make some solutions, but it also fucks up a perfectly good thread. I like my threads generally unfucked if you please. The simple idea of keeping a post to one show makes me want to hit someone with a brick. We cross post, we cross shows, we DISCUSS; it's what we do. That kind of filtering would be very counter to board culture.
Not that I have a strong opinion on this or anything.
Denise, I don't know what I'd prefer either.
ND's post made me laugh at the end.
I tend to cause both of those reactions quite a bit.
I'm kinda like the Hagrid of b.org that way.
