Yeah, that's solid. Though, sadly, not that many franchises in operation these days. Who/TW and Eureka/W13, eh?
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Apart from the Rainbow of CSIs, that's all I can come up with.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Not likely to often be an issue, but I'd rather be specific.
I am in agreement. Playing a character from another show in a related franchise feels very much "recurring" appearance.
If people are opposed to the proposal, I'd personally like to hear from them. Just because this information doesn't seem at all spoilery to me, it might to others.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am tempted to suggest on the same grounds that a guest appearance by Richard Belzer be automatically considered a spoiler, no matter what the show.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can think of situations where one might make "reasonable surmises" based on knowledge of the season, if an actor were high-profile enough (Let's say "Nimoy's going to be in the Season 1 Fringe Finale? With a name that big, I bet he's playing William Bell.") But that's the kind of situation that's likely to be kept under wraps or to be in promos.

The Belzer exception is making me laugh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This is also reasonable. And funny.

If Pauley Perette is going to be on NCIS: LA, it's a fair bet Abby is showing up.
Just for example of franchises.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm fairly spoiler-averse, but this seems entirely reasonable to me, especially with the franchise restriction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would restrict it by "existing character" or similar, not franchises -- that gets Munch in.
