for me, there is no Buffy/Angel there is only Buffy/Angel/Firefly. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that I watched Firefly first.
Laga is me. I wonder if that is why we have a bit of attachment to it. Like our first child or some such. Or a bird imprinting on the first living thing it sees. For the early Buffistas, that is Buffy. For some of us, it was Firefly. Just a theory, since some have asked "why are you holding on to it for dear life" (paraphrase). Not that it adds to the debate, but sociologically speaking, rather interesting.
Wolfram, well put in post#7993!
Joss Whedon posted about the Firefly cancellation here.
Are you serious? Nobody told me that. Very cool.
oops, sorry. /natter
I think the crux of my biscuit is that I'm not done talking about Firefly and I want to keep talking about it here because there's no smarter, snarkier group of people on the internet.
Once again, Laga is me. Maybe I should change my tag line to that.
edited 'cause 1) funnier in my head. 2) natter.
I'm concerned about the tenor of this discussion. I was attracted to b.org because I saw conversation that was witty and kind, snarky and respectful. It seems to me that we seem to be trending away from the kind and respectful part, at least in Bureaucraxy and Light Bulbs. It's there, and I've been very thankful to see folks step in to this discussion with empathy and calm.
I agree that there needs to be a process for adding threads; I'm not for adding threads willy-nilly and never have been. I just wish the process could be more respectful.
This comment is not meant to point fingers at any one or any opinion.

And you can, even if there is no dedicated Firefly thread. No one is saying "After the Firefly thread reaches 10,000, the thread is archived, no new thread is made, and no more Firefly talk anywhere."
Talk about it, by all means. Minearverse, Boxed Set, Natter -- lots of room.
Which is a fine, but actually finding that discussion will be difficult. We've shown recently that people like to be able to quickly find discussion on things, otherwise it gets lost.
Unless Aimee posts otherwise, I'm assuming the text of her proposal is:
Once the current Firefly thread has reached it's 10,000th post, we will discontinue the thread. Firefly discussion will then take place in whatever thread it lands.

We need someone to volunteer to count votes. Preferably someone not very vested in the results.
Skimming to the end (I'm still catching up) to post that if there's a need for somebody to count the votes, then I'm volunteering for it.
