I think the broader it is, the closer this will hew to the previous general TV threads, and suffer the same arguments.
This is me. I would like a thread that covers HBO & Showtime series but, if we end up with an all cable, all the time plan, I think the thread would get unwieldy.
Boxed Set does tend to suggest DVDs of previous seasons. Maybe call it "Premium TV"?
That's all I'll say since in Canada we don't get any of those channels you are talking about and the channels that do air these shows usually show them later than in the US.
But Boxed set isn't "Premium TV" - it's genre tv. Some of it is digital cable for some of us but none of it is Showtime/Hbo but it could be - I suppose.
I mean it was the Smallville, Due South stuff that got us Boxed Set in the first place.
If Stargate were still shown on Showtime, which thread would it be in?
Boxed Set. It's genre TV.
I don't care where the HBO show discussion is as long as I can find it and it doesn't get on anyone else's nerves.
Yeah, I would definitely prefer it be pay(extra)-to-play channels, if it has to exist at all. To me a cable thread is a general tv thread. I didn't even get locals for years. Plus, an HBO/Showtime thread might have an easier time of it without whitefont where an all-cable thread might be more difficult to manage.
I'm able to use the current Boxed Set, but I don't watch the current Stargates anymore, and I probably won't. I avoided the thread altogether back when I was just behind on the Stargates instead. It was unwieldy to me.
Yeah, I regularly subscribe and unsubscribe from Boxed Set, depending on which cycle Sci-Fi is in.
Just for the record in this thread -- as someone who posts regularly in Movies, where the Deadwood talk has congregated, while it's occasionally mildly annoying (like, on the level of spilling a few drops of milk on the floor, or less), I am perfectly fine with it continuing in Movies.
