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.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If Stargate were still shown on Showtime, which thread would it be in?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Boxed Set. It's genre TV.

Punishingly Intricate
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

If I want to gush over House, would that be in the TV thread?
edit: would that be where all the Project Runway talk would go?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not if it's a Showtime/HBO thread.
Which I think it should be. It would be a low-traffic thread, in theory, but I think those channels have shows that could support some meaty discussion. Not that I watch any of them myself.
