Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So we are, in effect, getting rid of one Buffy thread and that's about it? Okay.

Well, I think what DX said earlier makes the most sense (repurpose it to an Angel thread). I do think though, that if it doesn't seem necessary after a while, we have to consider closing it. We never close anything, and then we don't want to open anything new, because we have so much.

I think we're repurposing Previously for Angel rather than getting rid of it.

We're getting rid of Buffy Spoilers light, though.
Aren't we going to combine the NAFDA quotables threads? And if so, why does this have to wait 'til after the death matches? Can't we just shut Angel & Firefly NAFDA quotables and change the title of the Buffy thread to "Quotable ME"?

Good point.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Silly, non-logical personal preference: I'm charmed by the idea of closing Buffy Quotables on the One True Quote. So I'd rather close all three and open a new one. I'm not invested, though.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'd be in favor of closing Buffy 4: Grr Argh and starting a new Buffy 5 to begin it anew once Buffy reruns finish on UPN.
Perhaps naming it something forward looking...
Buffy 5: Post Apocolypti
Buffy 5: Is that it? That can't be it!
Buffy 5: Next stop? Cleveland.
Buffy 5: Blackout? Hellmouth. IJS.
I'm sure we could come up with more....

I'm in favor of a Buffy thread and a Previously on Buffy Angel thread. The discussion that arose when the Buffy eps first aired on cable was pretty intense for a while, and moved quickly. It should be separate from whatever Buffy talk is going on and from the current season Angel. IMO, of course.

Maybe after the DVD's have been out for a while, but not before then, please. Since folks will be watching the US-unaired eps at different times, either they'll have no comfortable place to post quotables, or people who haven't seen them yet will have to stay out of quotables as Angel airs.

Quotables has always been NAFDA. Why would that change? Non-NAFDA aired stuff (i.e. the Firefly UK eps) wouldn't be allowed, even in the Firefly Quotables thread that we have now - because it's NAFDA.
