Hm. Tim is our patron saint, so would that show not get its own thread? This means two threads? ACK! Thread proliferation!!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well, we could call it Touched by a Crazy Person: Wonder Falls and Other Post Graduate Studies.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I really like the idea of Previously becoming the de-facto Buffy thread after the finale talk is done (read - seen by all).
So that will actually be removing one thread from the mix.
What if we start with one Post-graduate thread with the idea that the most watched and discussed shows within that thread may move on to their own home? I mean, I hate to say it, but we may not have a great interest in all the shows.

No - there's no net proliferation Allyson.
Right now we have:
- Buffy Spoilers
- Buffy Spoilage Lite
- Buffy NAFDA
- Previously
We're going to get rid of three of them, right, and the fourth will morph into an all-purpose Buffy thread, because there will be no new shows.
Also? Tim called Wonder Fall 'Touched By A Crazy Person' at the Beta, the other night.
eta...
Fixed the numbers.

I like that idea.

We actually have Buffy and Angel Spoilers. If there's a S5, that thread stays.
It's just Spoilage Lite that goes, and the NAFDA thread that won't be renewed.

Buffy Spoilers
Buffy Spoilage Lite
Buffy NAFDA
We're going to get rid of two of them, right, and the third will morph into an all-purpose Buffy thread, because there will be no new shows.
Plus, no need for the Previously thread.
And I dunno about the quote thread when there are no new quotes to quote.
If there are tags, I'll screw them up. Such is the way of the Julie

argh - I'm not fixing my maths again. I should have known better than to try to math. I thought I could count.

Why wouldn't we keep the Previously thread?

I thought that too, msbelle. I figured that the most interest would be in Tim's work, and my heart is in supporting Minear with his own speshul show thread, and then a general ME writers thread.
One problem is that ME writers have gone off on a lot of other shows now that I think of it. Jane-Gilmore, Shawn-The Shield, Des Hotel-That 70s Show, Marti-that scifi channel thingy, and then I expect we'll get several others going off to new places.
One thread could hold them all, "Where do we go from here?"
Another problem is that this could end up being a general teevee thread, and I believe there was great resistance to that.
