The Press announcement is up:
And with that, I close this thread.
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!
Opening this thread to discuss Tom Scola's proposal:
Since, Heroes is now officially canceled,
I propose we a) Close the Heroes thread; b) set a date for closing the Lost thread.
So Heroes is pretty much dead now. NBC has made some vague noises about a TV movie, but even if it happens, it won't be until 2011, and cast members are already picking up other gigs.
Really not much point in keeping the thread open at this point. If people still want to discuss, they can always use Boxed Set.
Similarly, Lost is almost over. There will probably be lots to talk about after the finale, but even still, the thread should be closed at some point in the future.
I'd just ask the Heroes and Lost fans to figure out how much post-show time they need to kick it around (a month?) and then shut them down. But I'd like to hear from the fans of those shows to set that date.
Is there anything left at all to talk about for Heroes? The last episode was a few months ago.
I am a Heroes watcher, but I have nothing left to say about it. I wouldn't mind closing it now.
I'm fine with the Heroes thread closing now. I don't watch Lost, and, therefore, I have no opinion about closing that thread.
I'm fine with closing Heroes.
With Lost, we may well have stuff to discuss.
I was just looking at our Summer Spoiler Policy and it assumes a four week period after the season finale for discussion.
Would that be fair for Lost?
I think 4 weeks should be enough to discuss the finale.
I didn't bother to watch the last season of Heroes although I stayed subbed to the thread. That may be why I didn't bother.
