Add in NP for the whitefont question and I think it's perfect.

Yeah, Jon, if you could add NP to the whitefont question too, please.

The Press announcement is up:

And with that, I close this thread.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Aimee has proposed the following:

I propose that we close the dedicated Firefly thread and continue our discussions in the Minearverse thread.

As someone who couldn't stand Firefly, but does follow Tim's career, I'm naturally against the proposal, so I want to ask:

Do Serenity and the much-hoped-for-and-constantly-debated sequel really relate to Tim?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

If we're closing the FF thread, I'd prefer the discussion be moved to Minearverse over Box Set. There is already some contentiousness going on regarding the content of the Box Set and spoiler issues and adding Firefly to the mix won't help. Minearverse is 1) fitting thematically as FF is a Tim show as much as a Joss show, and 2) it's much less problematic, spoiler-wise, since alas, there aren't any new Tim shows on air right now, as opposed to Box Set, which has something like 5-6 active shows being discussed at a given moment.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think Minearverse and Other Media are perfectly appropriate places for Firefly, and possibly better, since I don't know that the FF thread has all that many followers anymore, even among those who remember it fondly. Even leaving that aside, I think the time for a dedicated thread has passed.
