It's weird, as I halfway blame myself for this becoming an issue, that I've not decided where I stand on it.

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!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
See, if you are going to make Deadwood sentences like that, you need a place to talk.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I vote yes.

Are you saying I fucked that sentence up flatter than hammered shit, Gus?

Now tagless for your comfort.
erika, it's perfectly ok to be ambivalent.
I've got Weeds in my Netflix queue--as well as Entourage and I'll sign up for HBO again when the Sopranos comes back early next year, so I'm going to vote yes.
That's pretty self-serving, but there it is.

I could, if it would make you smile.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So do we want to stick to a hard definition of HBO/Showtime, or do we want a broader discussion of Premium Channels, or Cable Only channels (including then, I guess...Rescue Me or The Shield or whatever)?

I say broader is better. Except when it comes to Mind of a Married Man. Or Arli$$.
And I'm ambivalent about this proposal, too, because I sorta like being in Movies. However, I suspect we're irritating someone badly, although most of those who've spoken up have stated that their irritation is a mild thing. Anyway, I'll go where the Buffistas think it's best.

For the record, I'm not at all annoyed at the Deadwood talk, and the high praise makes me want to see it. I just remember thinking this morning about how the TV talk that isn't in Boxed Set kinda bleeds out everywhere, and then someone else mentioned it, and then I wondered about a TV thread.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm not at all bothered by Deadwood talk in the Movies thread, but I like the idea of somewhere more dedicated for that kind of focused, specific TV talk, too. I don't get the premium channels, but I do plan to Netflix a whole bunch of those shows eventually (my mother is trying to get me to watch Weeds; this may be in return for me talking up Doctor Who incessantly) and it would be nice to have somewhere fairly low-volume to go to talk about them; Natter doesn't suit my purposes very well for that. (This may just be a me thing, since I don't go into Natter very much anymore.) But, yeah, I'd support it. I am Proudly Pro-Proliferation.
