Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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!

What is even happening?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Obviously, Cindy. But the idea that not having watched Drive yet means you can't discuss Wonderfalls or the Inside isn't fair.
I don't think it'll come up, but it's still not fair.
Kat, I am one of the big screamers about "discuss what you want!" in any TV thread. Not only is a slippery slope to a general TV thread where the people who got there first decide how things should be done (oh, the evil), but it's only fair if conversations are all in blackfont that someone current on HBO shows but behind on Rescue Me doesn't get slammed with spoilers.

Yeah. And, as Kat notes, it's the naming of things that is the problem for me. If SA and anyone like-minded had just chatted about The Riches or whatever in Premium for a while, I wouldn't have cared one bit, but repurposing the thread officially troubled me. Eta: after reading ita's post above, I think I was implicitly assuming that such "off-topic" discussions would be in white-font and if they were made on-topic they would be black-font.
I don't even know what I think about that anymore.
And I don't know what we're trying to hash out in here. But I keep reading, hoping I will get it enough to at least sort out my own opinion.

Our wings are not tired
This is how we ended up with the confusion in box set though. It took me over a year to figure out that SG1 was discussed in there because there was no mention of it in the slug or anywhere else. I don't think it's much of a solution to say "Well if they had just done it and not wanted to put it in the slug then it would have been okay."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh my goodness, David. I was so here, I might have been 12 of the gang of 14.
Which of your secret identities were you sporting then?

FTR, I'm not saying it would have been okay. I'm saying that I, personally, would not have complained. In retrospect, I think it was a good thing that SA did bring it up officially.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If memory serves, I think she was calling herself "Cindy." She's a tricksy one!

Aha!
Okay, now I'm pretty sure she's Beverly's sock puppet.

Bitch cabal! Whoo! The Midnight Consensers Whut Consense At Midnight! Good times, good times.
Honestly (and trust me, you'll never hear these words from my lips again (okay, at least not until it's appropriate)), if we were going to add individual show threads, Drive and Eureka seem like the naturals because we have the MyNear and CFerg. And because they have sort of different feels from their surrounding threads.
