I believe Allyson already proposed and it has at least two seconds.
on edit: No. Allyson said:
If I'm totally off base, please tell me so and I'll propose the thread dedicated to All Things Minear.
and Nutty said she'd write a multi-item proposal when she was available again (I believe on Tuesdayish).
There are still seconds, Am-Chau and Cindy, for a proposal that has not yet occurred. Several think it should just exist because it's Tim. FWIW, I second as well.
I'm wondering, and I'm not trying to be a PITA, but, would we vote on the creation of a new ME show thread?
edited to fix idiocy and to add my opinion not just a recap.
So, if Firefly were coming out this Fall instead of last would it require a vote to get a thread? Interesting. It would seem like a no-brainer that it would get a thread, but I think that we would need to have a vote in order to follow our own rules.
Tim's show should have its own thread with no vote because he's TIM. It's his show, he's the showrunner/headwriter and he's a Buffista.
I'm all for giving Tim a thread. Happy to vote for it, feel like it's the right thing. Don't know why anybody would consider it
insulting
for us to use our regular procedures.

I can't explain it without sounding like an asshole, so I'm thinking on a better way to write it down.

Yes, because that is now the procedure.
Frankly, I think this can all wait until at least after the F2F.
Can I just ask how the F2F impacts this discussion/decision?
I don't think it does, Julie. I think it's just an arbitrary "after we get back home and the season is over and we're settled back in again" sort of thing.
I'd think the pickups announcement would be a more logical time, if one has to wait. So, we propose, discuss, vote, and sometime in that period it becomes apparent there's no show -- no big deal, as I see it.
Anyway-- now someone is going to come along and want to vote on my password.
I propose that we change Sophia's password to "hobbitslash." Any seconds?
