That would be good.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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!

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

What ita said. Specific is good. Uber-serious? Not so important.

Is that clear enough? I have a headache and there is construction with a drill and hammer pounding in the office across the hall and I had to pull my brain out to survive.

Works for me!

OK, I put together the ballot. I changed a couple of words in it to make it a tiny bit more proposal-ey. If there are no objections, it'll go live in about 4 hours:
Proposal: That we add a new thread to the TV and Film Discussion Folder specifically dedicated to HBO and Showtime original programming, series, and specials.
The tentative title is Boxed Set Premium, with the description specifying that it is for HBO/Showtime.
The thread shall be designated as NAFDA.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Starting the discussion of a proposal by Theodosia to add a new thread for the discussion of Heroes. Original proposal is here:

I'd be curious to see how much traffic an episode of Supernatural, Heroes, or BSG generates. Because of the SG torrents, I don't think either of them peg the meter. Oh, Eureka too, really.
I'm curious to know what about Heroes makes it a candidate, since I don't get a rationale other than "I like/dislike Heroes more than the other stuff, and I don't want to scroll through the thread to find/avoid it".

Our wings are not tired.
My immediate thought is yes. Boxed Set is getting confusing with the number of shows being discussed. Fun in a way when you can't tell which comment belongs to which show.
Also, I may be influenced by being enthralled by the last episode. Not that I didn't already have the love.
