Or, we all have to make compromises, and we try figure out what compromise will work for most people. As the no-thread-nannying discussion regarding the network dramas illustrated, there's a strong sentiment to make sure no-one is left out in the cold except by choice.
I agree with brenda that this doesn't have to be binary. I think there are certainly enough people who prefer whitefont to create some kind of space amenable to them.
I don't think it's necessary to police the shows by thread.
I wasn't asking for that. I meant, in a practical sense, how will people know that? Will the thread slug will say "this is for non-SF cable drama"?
I asked because there were questions upthread about what would or wouldn't be considered a drama -- not just SF, but things like Psych and Monk. I don't think there was ever a clear (to me, anyway) answer to "What is actually going to be covered in this thread?" If the answer is, "We'll figure it out as we go," that's fine; it's an answer. I just wasn't sure if that was actually left open or if I'd missed something.
The Press announcement is up:
Voting Has Begun!
And with that, I close this thread.
A whitefont ghetto?
I prefer to think of it as "separate but equal."
Seriously, I don't know if that's a good idea but I'm willing to entertain it.
This thread isn't closed?
Then, to this:
There is nothing that pleases everyone equally.
I say: BURRITO.
Watch out, Corwood. You may re-start the Great Cilantro Debates.
Regardless of our affiliation with the particulars of its composition, the time is now for all Buffistas to put aside our differences and embrace our - and indeed all of humanity's - shared embrace of burrito-y goodness.
