I heart Jen. IJS. And I would heart her no matter which side she argued for, as long as she did it with such articulation and Princess Bride quotage.
And I second the well-wishes for ita.
Ed. because a parenthesis is not an I.
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!

(See, Lee got to do the "ITA" thing. Who will by my hero?)
I am doing it again, too, this time with you and you can be (are) my hero, if it helps.
and you can be my hero, if it helps
Totally helps! Is better, even.
I heart Jen.
D'awww. So very much backatcha.
I'd participate in a dedicated thread. I love Eureka, Doctor Who and SPN, but I don't go into boxed set because I'm always behind on one or the other of them. I don't do the skim over with eyes glazed at all well and every time I've gone in I've gotten spoiled for something.
I'm sorry that this feels forced to some of you, but it fills me with glee. I've really missed my board.
Much as I'd participate (and I would) in a solo thread, I hate the feeling that a show that both fits under the original perimeters of the Boxed Set Feel (fangirl candy, lots of glee and excitement, see also early Smallville and due South) and generates a lot of talk and conversions (note that a lot of the conversation today was with recent viewers) is being pushed out because it gets on people's nerves that we have the nerve to talk about it.
Mayhaps I'm cranky, but to be perfectly frank, I have to skip past wads of posts on shows I don't watch all the time. It's a function of having a combined thread, and a combined thread will never be all things to all people.
Is that any different from how the LotR threads got started?
(It occurs to me as I reach for post that that could be taken as pointed. It's not.)
Maybe it's not so much pushed out as allowed to expand into it's own space. I don't know.
We have a history of separating some shows on their own when posts reach a critical mass. I guess the question is has this one reached that level?
I tend to skip over all the SPN stuff because I've never seen the show. I guess if I saw an episode, I might like it, but I haven't, so I skip.
I'm happy to keep SPN where it is, FWIW. I like the feel of Boxed Set.
And no, not a SPN watcher myself. But maybe one day...
Is that any different from how the LotR threads got started?
Yeah. This is how those got started:
Bon Bon:
Um. I know thread overload is a problem, but I nevertheless have a thread suggestion. In the next week, we know natter will be overtaken by TTT, especially during Joss show hiatus. Some of us won't be able to watch it the very first day, so people will have to whitefont, and others taking time off for the holiday won't catch all the discussion. And I know last year I would have loved to see all the comments in one place. Is there any interest--even by those with *no* interest in it, and who would prefer a hobbit-free natter holiday-- in an LOTR thread?
Which is a whole different vibe, to me.
I don't think it's being "pushed out" so much as now that the anti-proliferationistas have given up any hope, the YAYnewthreadistas are looking for any likely looking candidates.
