I'm all for the softer side. The deathmatches can get pretty hostile and we need something to remind us, TO NOT LET OUR FAVORITE QUOTES GET SPAZZED.

Ahem. That is all.

Yes. The spirits of retail chains, cities that are not constantinople, and of course, troll-gnawed babies will always steer us right.

Concur. If I can't have monkeys, then I want Istanbul.

Hear, hear. My comrade in simians!

Also, moved from BBaBB. Well, no not actually moved since now I clipped the damn monkeys quote. Now rewritten.

About Wonderfalls. My thought was that the last we'd consensed, we'd erred on the side of wait and see. I think we'd concluded that since Wonderfalls, though a Tim product, was not a ME product, and thus not necessarily a central focus of the boards. It was more along the lines of 'other things we love' like Lord of the Rings or the Three-In-One fandom thread. But I think we'd left it open to see how things went once it aired. But on the other hand, it was made by a Buffista, so...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I get the feeling that Wonderfalls has moved to being a core concern of the board.

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

I think it could stand to be on the index header.

No concrete feeling about a spoiler thread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As it turns out, I'm with ita.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

No concrete feeling about a spoiler thread.

How about an astro-turf feeling?

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

I'm not sure how much (more) spoilage there's going to be until next season, with all 13 eps already shot and in the can. (I could be wrong, but most spoilers these days seem to come from sides and set reports, and there aren't going to be any of those for WF until next year.)

So I don't think we need a spoiler thread yet.

But it would be nice to have in the board header.

I'm with Jesse, who's with ita.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

But what if it sucks? Heh. Just kidding.

I'd be fine with wonderheader and no spoiler thread yet. I'm also fine with a spoiler thread if we need one. Do we actually know any spoilers?

Anyway, it is Tim, and we do seem reasonably fired up about it. And what else are we going to talk about, right? Just so that we have some sort of idea of what makes the line, for the future. Mutant Enemy and Tim?
