Didn't we already decide to go to "She saved the world a lot" -- close it immediately following the finale and start Grr Aargh?
Sophia - I think when we thought we'd burn through B3 faster, we were proposing She saved the world. A lot. until the finale, and then closing it, even if it didn't reach 10,000 posts, and starting Grr Arrgh for the finale. My take was that was to ensure we'd have Grr Arrgh open for the finale. But at this point I can't see Grr Arrgh running out prior to the finale.
I'm in the "Grr Argh" camp.
I mean, "Grr Argh" is what is said in the ending itself. "She saved the world. A lot" was written on Buffy's grave after she died, so it's more fitting, IMHO, to title a thread after the series finale, not the one in which the finale takes place, so to speak.
That's how I feel too, Nilly.
Grr. Arrgh.

So we aren't saying NO "SSTWAL," we're saying SSTWAL in six months (or however long it takes us to get thru Buffy 4)?
I could get behind that.

I could get behind that.
As a SSTWAL person from many posts back, I can get behind this scenario as well.
To me Grrr Argh represents the sign off to all the M.E. shows. Whereas SSTWAL is distinctly for Buffy, and laying her show to rest. I guess I'd like the title to be about Buffy, and only about Buffy. Of course, that's just my opinion.
I am stuck between Grr. Argh.
and
We're taking a moment....and we're done.
Also, are we opening a Wonder Falls thread?

Grr Arrgh was a Buffy thing first. Furthermore, it's been both a line on BtVS (Tara in Bargaining) and an aria at the end of OMWF.

I do love that, too. But I'm thinking there are going to be more Buffy threads. Sure, they'll be slower coming, but like SSTW.AL. There'll be time for it.
Okay, realizing I'm overly invested in a thread name of all things, I'll just leave my vote for
Grr Arrgh and shut the hell up.
It's Buffy's. Dammit.
I'm anti-thread proliferation, so this is an odd proposal, but I think I would like a thread that is specific to the shows ME writers are going off to write. Jane is going to Gilmore Girls, Marti is producing a new series, and others haven't made decisions yet.
I don't know if others would like to discuss the writers' work beyond Buffy, just that I would like to do so, and hey, who doesn't want to be just like me?
Anyway, lobbing the ball out there.
