So, if we add both an mCU thread and a streaming thread, we could discuss Daredevil in both or either?

My opinions are so nebulous I'm just gonna keep asking questions as they occur to me.

So, if we add both an mCU thread and a streaming thread, we could discuss Daredevil in both or either?

In my pro-compartmentalization stance, I think if we have an MCU thread and a streaming thread, all the Marvel streaming stuff should stay in MCU.

That would be a nice bright line.

I thinik Daredevil should be in MCU because it's a part of the MCU more than streaming.

Right now the discussions are all over the place and I know the spoiler policy will be difficult but I think overall the thread will be beneficial.

The same thing with Streaming, it's hard to figure out where to put things sometimes and Streaming feels like Preimum thread.

Um. I don't know what to say but it does feel odd to add more threads but tv watching is changing and it makes sense to change.

I really like Nanita's idea for spoiler font policy for shows that dump all at once.

I think if we have an MCU thread and a streaming thread, all the Marvel streaming stuff should stay in MCU.

That's a nice obvious division. We declare that Marvel trumps streaming, therefore if Stan Lee can take credit for it, it goes in the MCU (unless that brings up a heretofore unknown to me can of worms regarding Stan Lee).

I oppose thread proliferation because of my feels, not just what I think ita would have wanted. In fact I have no idea what ita would have wanted in this case. My stance is now, as it always has been, that proliferation causes a Balkanization of our community, resulting in an increasing number of sub communities with decreasing interaction between the group as a whole. I believe it is not a dichotomy as you suggest, Connie; I don't think lack of proliferation causes us to be a bell jar, nor do I think proliferation inherently makes us a living breathing community. Could we stagnate? Absolutely. But we also could have over the past nearly two decades we have been together, for a variety of reasons. As of yet, we have proved more resilient than the vast majority of online (and a good number of offline) communities of which I am aware.

On the proliferation issue:

I'm not looking for the kind of easy-thread-making we had at WX. HOWEVER, that wasn't a bad thing. That fostered many conversations.

And that's what I'm down for: Creating spaces for interesting conversations. That's our lifeblood.

Did Smallville *really* deserve it's own thread? I don't know, but if it didn't we wouldn't have had cocksicles.

Skipping to the end of the thread to offer to count the votes, if nobody else volunteered already (it's the only way I can contribute to either the discussion or the voting, and I do want to do *something*, if I possibly can).

Thanks, Nilly. Noted.
