Does anyone have any information about new HBO shows? For all we know, they could decide to move in an Arli$$ direction in the future.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We could always talk about the perverse satisfaction I got watching Seda burn to death, Jesse.

Most everything is still in development so I don't know what's real and what's not. David Milch's John from Cincinnati is a foregone conclusion and I would expect that Alan Ball's vampire show would make it on the air as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The fact that we can't post pictures here would ruin any Oz discussion for me. Although it would keep me from ruining any Oz discussion for everyone else.

the specific people who most want to talk about it can't handle the speed of Natter.
I am one of these specific people, if not the specific person. Natter ALWAYS has 500+ posts when I drop by, and I can't keep up. I don't want another thread just to accommodate me, but I also don't want to get lost in the shuffle. To reiterate, I like posting about HBO tv in Movies, where I can and do keep up, and it doesn't seem that anyone is truly frustrated with the situation as is, except for the messy thread-drift aspect. Perhaps we could modify the Movies thread to include short-run tv shows like the HBO shows (most of which are 13 hours per season, and most seasons of which are spaced out over a couple of years) in the concept. These shows are more like long-run movies than serial tv shows, anyway. With so much time between seasons, the writers generally create tighter arcs and have few, if any, stand-alone episodes and little filler.

That's a thought. Agreeing with everybody...Farnum much?

What, no love for Lucky Louie?
I'm kidding. No one loves Lucky Louie.
Deadwood, The Sopranos, and The Wire are the only ones of those I've watched on a regular basis, although I have Curb Your Enthusiasm in my Netflix queue.
If the Buffistas want a separate thread, I think it should include some of the HBO-lite shows like Rescue Me or The Shield, just to keep participation high. But I'm not married to this idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is the term "bright line" for really clear and unsubjective rules? I love bright lines, if that's the case. HBO-lite means what?

Cable shows with cuss words and fucking.
