'Safe'
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!
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.

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.

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.
Java, do come into Non-Fic and talk about Survivor and TAR! That's where the Burnett-loving folks hang.
To Kristin's point upthread, we used to whitefont currently airing show in BS, didn't we? I don't remember for how long we white-fonted after airing, though.
Is that a compromise that could work for more than just Kristin (not that you're not whitefont-worthy all by yourself!)? Just throwing it out there.
I realize this is separate from the which shows go where discussion; it just caught my attention.
