When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I have no problem with opening a Wonderfalls spoiler thread, but would also understand waiting until we know it's going to be on the air for at least a season.

Also re: Wonderfalls -- might we want to retitle (or resubtitle, I guess) the Tim thread so it's more clearly where show discussion goes?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I guess the big question is - is anyone going to want to spoil themselves for Wonderfalls that won't want Angel spoilers?

That's what I'm wondering. But I have no problem putting off discussion until after we know whether it's getting picked up for another season or not.

I've personally got no proliferation issues, but I know there are plenty who do, and I can't really say I'm pro-proliferation. I guess on that subject, I'm more than OK with consensus.

But it might not be a bad thing to wait and see.

edited because I know "know" isn't "no". And I've HAD my coffee. Gronk - I wanted to crawl into my bed before I crawled out of it this morning.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whedonesque got slashdotted! That is so karmic!

Is that good or bad?

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

What's the story that got slashdotted?

Also, I am confused about Wonderfalls and the Minearverse. He seems content to talk about the show there. And you know, it's better for all of our spleens if he's content.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Firefly movie.

If we name a thread after someone (not just an instance, but the whole thing) do they get to rule it? Could he make us do terrible, terrible things? Is there chocolate cake in the cafeteria?

The board's a co-op. For better or worse, we da ppl roolz!

He's a smart cookie, he'll go where the discussion goes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Rassenfrassen ferrets.

Is there a problem with Wonderfalls talk being in the Minearverse?
