Buffy ,'Potential'
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!
The SPN fans said, "We like it in Boxed Set!" but we ("we" meaning "the majority of those who voted") still said, "We hear you, but sorry, you don't get it the way you want it."
That wasn't a dedicated thread. The Supernatural discussion was impacting other users of the thread (and I don't mean that in any kind of negative way, and I'm still really twitchy about SPN people being upset, so please don't be upset, because I love you all).
Firefly is a thread that has no other use.
I'm not trying to open up a can of kerfluffle, but that's pretty much what we did with SPN. The SPN fans said, "We like it in Boxed Set!" but we ("we" meaning "the majority of those who voted") still said, "We hear you, but sorry, you don't get it the way you want it."
Well, I don't read Boxed Set, but my interpretation of that discussion was more like trying to fit two sweaters into one drawer where there wasn't really room.
Hey, man...if you want to destroy this sweater, just hold this thread while I walk away.
eta: Sorry. Couldn't help it. I love that song. And it says "thread." Hee.
And I'll soon be naked?

Though, by the end of the discussion, a lot of the SPN fans had changed to wanting their own thread, in order to put the issue to bed.
I'm not in favor of future Firefly discussion getting swallowed up. (Gotta say, I suggested it as a joke, but a "Brilliant But Cancelled" thread might be neat... of course, then you run the risk of being spoiled for shows you haven't watched, but might intend to watch in the future. See: me and Veronica Mars.)

Fair point. Perhaps I just require knitwear metaphors for things to make sense to me.
(The label in the sweater said "100%...*acrylic*.")

You know we'd spend three months arguing about what constitutes "brilliant."
We'd probably argue about what constitutes "cancelled"....
We'd probably argue about what constitutes "cancelled"....
And what counted as "aired."
Well, as someone who liked, but did not love, Firefly, I have no problem getting rid of it. But, there are a lot of people who had/have great love for the show, so I would respect their love for the show.
