But I get that not everyone is as into the Sir as me.
Yes sir, mummy.

Sumi, no, that I wouldn't have wanted to know. But it's all okay.

BDE, Sir is fine for the next Angel thread, but I put in an early vote for the following one being Allyson's suggestion:
We'll take away your bucket

Yes sir, mummy.
Shouldn't that be "Yes sir, mummy, Sir"?
And then, [ wouldn't that really be spoilery? :)

Thanks for all the fish.
Grr, Argh would be great for a thread that contains discussion of the last episode of Buffy, but will that be the next Buffy thread? How many episodes to the threads tend to last?

I know. I want it to be a lock for the last thread. This current Buffy thread opened in mid February, but there haven't been many episodes between then and now. I don't know. Dammit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Pulling a number out of my ass, I'd guess 400 posts/new ep? So the next Buffy thread should be the series-ender.

Pulling a number out of my ass... and a spreadsheet, and using the Nillys to identify the episode starts (and bearing in mind that the time between episodes has a huge effect on posts) this information might help...
Trying this..

Anyone with the requisite skills, feel free to edit. I'm off to learn a leeeetle bit more about HMTL tables.

Nice Julie. Thanks.

Thanks for all the fish.
Julie! Excellent. So it seems that the better episodes generate more discussion. We have four episodes left - shall we estimate 3000 posts for each? And some more room for anticipation, natter, and speculation?
That means that the final episode might be discussed in the thread after next.
