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!
Proposal:
The addition of a new thread to the TV and Film Discussion Folder specifically dedicated to HBO and Showtime original programming, series, and specials.
Tentative title is Boxed Set Premium, with the description specifying that it for HBO/Showtime
The thread shall be designated as a NAFDA.
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:

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".
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.
SPN certainly gets a lot of traffic. No doubt Eureka will when we get new episodes again.
If the thread is Thursday starts SPN flurry of posts and Monday starts flurry of Heroes posts will people not want to inject their SPN discussion on Tuesday.
Then Torchwood or Who will start up again. Whee!
Maybe marking the beginning of posts with a show tag would help.

If people don't want to, the thread is broken.
As someone who has watched BSG and Heroes but not yet this week's Dresden Files, I did notice DF conversation popping up after both other shows aired. Do people feel hesitant?
