The world continues to wobble badly on its axis, and there's no telling when it might hit equilibrium again, and whether we might lose livejournal in the process. the_safehouse has been here on lj since 2004, and it would be awful to lose all our fandom history (does anyone else notice that it would be largely women's history being lost yet again, btw?) - so ( Read more... )

So instead of 200 ‘episode discussion’ entries under one tag, there will be one tag for each of the 57 episodes.
