Should we talk about burritos again?

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.
You guys can't be left unwatched for a second, can you?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Amyliz has proposed that we open a dedicated Supernatural thread:

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
When does the new season start?
When does the last season come out on DVD?

Because books.
S2 DVDs come out Sept. 11. The new season starts ... in the fall? Sometime, I hope, not too long after the DVDs arrive.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
We've also got 14 more episodes from S2 that people will likely want to W&P once a week.

To transfer the gist of my post in Boxed Set over here - I don't know that I'd actually support a dedicated SPN thread. I'm kind of still working through what I think makes a show single-thread-worthy. Volume alone isn't it. Am having trouble articulating more. (OK, truthfully, am lazy and hoping someone else will articulate for me, as often happens in this thread, and I can just post, "I agree with ____________." Any takers?)

Because books.
I don't know what makes a single-show thread successful. I think Lost and Veronica Mars have been, mostly, in terms of people W&Ping the night they air, and talking (some) in between.
Supernatural gets a bit more discussion right now, I think, because we're going W&P in the off season, and that leads to some other conversation afterwards (as well as, yes, a lot of drooling and squeeing and flailing). I can't imagine that not happening in its own thread, but if that's not the reason for a single-show thread, I don't know what is. Honestly, much as I loved VM, I think SPN deserves a thread more it did, but that could be just me.

Because SPN generates more discussion (I only ever peeked in VM, so I don't have a feel for how it was)? I mean, to counter my own post, this is a discussion board, so if volume of discussion isn't enough of I reason, then what else? Now I'm directing questions to myself... that I can't answer.
I know that I absolutely felt Heroes should have its own thread. I need to ponder more.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Couple of points:
A. I seriously doubt that SPN will generate enough volume, in first-run shows, and in W&P of dvds or reruns, combined, to merit a dedicated thread.
B. The reason for this proposal is that those of us who discuss SPN in the Boxed Set thread have been told that people who don't watch the show, don't like the show, and don't want to discuss the show find it onerous to navigate around jump posts and spontaneous discussion of the show.
So basically, we're being asked to create a dedicated thread not just as a place to discuss SPN, but also so disinterested people won't have to be exposed to the discussion. And I honestly don't know if that's a valid reason for a dedicated thread.
