Are we doing separate discussion/voting for MCU and streaming? I feel like it might be beneficial to do them together. If we do end up with a streaming thread the policy we settle on for that could (would? should?) inform how the streaming MCU shows are handled within a (potential) MCU thread.

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!

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't think we have had a formal proposal defining what we are going to vote on? That's part of the discussion, I guess.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah I used the phrasing referring to MCU only but that's just cause that was the genesis. This hashing out period can determine the phrasing of the proposal, which can include whatever you want. I mean, within reason. You can propose unicorns, but I, for one, am not qualified to go retrieve any for you.
Hello, posting on benedryl!
ANYWAY! I oppose thread proliferation on general principles, so personally, I'll vote against both threads, but I suggest the final wording of the proposal at least makes them separate ballot items so that if people want streaming and not MCU or whatever they can vote accordingly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That seems super complicated for folks not deep into MCU. I already feel like I'll need a cheat sheet to separate any DC characters. If there are any with shows and stuff.
I agree, but I assume it makes sense to those who want to have the thread.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am mostly anti proliferation too, but I would love to be able to talk about several Netflix shows with people, and they don't really fit into the existing threads. I feel odd talking about them in Natter because I am not sure what the spoiler policy should be for shows where a whole season is available on the same day.
Maybe hashing out a streaming spoiler policy would be better?

This seems worthwhile with or without new threads.

That's not necessarily the same group, is it? I would hope that a new thread would have broader appeal. I watch a handful of those shows and would be interested in discussing, and presumably there are others. But maybe it is super obvious and I'm just that far outside of the verse to not know that.
I'd just prefer some sort of thread definition that is a little more intuitive if we can make it work. But I'm interested to hear what more invested folks think.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
But I'm interested to hear what more invested folks think.
I have no problem with including X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, etc., because it's not like those movies are frequent enough to really disrupt discussion about MCU stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My personal consideration spoiler-wise is the fact that I don't have Netflix, so am not watching Daredevil. I think that means I probably never will, so who cares about spoilers, right?
And like the AoS/Winter Soldier stuff was basically self-spoiling if you were behind either way, so I wouldn't take that into consideration much.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm fine with streaming things staying in Premium, but I agree we need to work out a new spoiler policy for them.
