And yeah, as Jessica said, he believes he's Cupid. Having a nutty religion doesn't make the show SF.

There's at least some indication that he actually is Cupid.

I recently caught up on about a year's worth of Boxed Set and Procedurals. Those threads are definitely working for me. If all those conversations had taken place in Natter, I would have missed them completely.

Sorry to nit pick, but since I'm quoted above I feel the need to clarify that I have no desire to shift tv talk out of Natter,

Oh, I'm sorry! I did not mean to misrepresent you.

Even though I don't watch Cupid, the first place my mind goes to with the name is mythology, not religion. And mythology slots straight into SFF for me. The same with AU stories. If you want to read Harry Turtledove AU stories, you find them in the SFF section of the bookstore.

I guess I don't see the problem with either asking or starting a discussion where you stand. Are we judging each other that harshly.

How many lurkers are there? I don't think it's a judging thing. Just a convenience thing.

omnis has a good point. I didn't think about the lurkers.

t waves to lurkers

Omnis, does Discussions of sci-fi/fantasy shows we watch not clarify the etc for you?

I mean, the lurkers can read that too.

I didn't think about the lurkers.

Lurkers, this is your cue to support her in e-mail.

Ha. Evidently our lurkers just work up incredibly cool css.

Yeah, I guess I'm looking at the long term and trying to see what kind of reorg would be sustainable. I still think it's viable to plan for lifecycle management for threads from the beginning, so it's less personal if we do need to close some at some point.

so it's less personal if we do need to close some at some point.

You've met us, right?

If he is Cupid is it sff? It doesn't seem as much like having a religion when you're one of the deities.

If the show was about him being Cupid. It's a bit like the Jericho example. I don't think a SF element in the background makes the show SF any more than "sometimes the characters say funny things" automatically makes something a comedy.

Would it make the slugs too long to list the shows that are discussed where as they are added?

I pitched that last time. And that's when I thought Boxed Set was fairly clear. Ah, memories.

Sorry, on iPhone, can't quote. ita, I point upthread at defining a show. Is it sff? Drama? Comedy? I think Chuck is an action comedy. The intercept is just the premise, not the story. I say this, not to have a classification battle, but to day, it might be easier to have a bs consensus that a show goes in that thread, then list it on a central page. That way lurkers, newbies, folks returning from life/work and delurking, know where to talk about the new show. From what I'm gleaming from the current conversation, there are shows we love that fall thru the cracks. That's why I suggested a list, whether in each slug, or a page of it's own.

Medium and House are procedurals to my way of thinking - a mystery each episode.

I'd love to know where to go to find TAR talk! Survivor, too, for that matter. I thought the non-fic thread was all about the various modeling shows; guess I'll have to take a closer look at it.

I'm in the camp of people who actually reads Natter 1 or 2 days every 1 to 5 months, and I really appreciate having a tv thread to read. It's doable. And I'd never have heard about Leverage if not for discussions in one of the threads, so I'm glad about that.
