I do agree the thread has gotten way OT lately, but it's due in no small part to what you all have already said: There's only so much you can discuss about Miranda until it becomes rehashed. I felt that when the 2.0 thread started that this would be the case. I came into the 1.0 thread later than most, around page 60 or so, and I have been consistently following since and have contributed my fair share of Miri speculation and discussion.
Rath/Meg I read your fanfic all the time, and every time you update us with a chapter I read it multiple times. It is coming along very nicely and I can't say anything bad about it, all good praises go to you two. I would provide my insight on new chapters updated by Rath but I mostly read them at night and soon after I'm done reading I fall asleep and awake to 20+ new pages. I can make up for that by saying now the direction and writing itself is fantastic and I praise you both Rath/Meg. I myself have put my fanfic on hold because I have more important matters to attend to, like school.
All of us are guilty in the end, including myself, of the blatant OT discussion. Unfortunately I fear the thread would be dead without it, unless you want to rehash old Miranda discussion. I do not believe discussion of Yvonne in Chuck is OT however because the Miranda character was played extraordinarily well by Yvonne and it's only fair we analyze her acting ability in other things like Chuck. She is a very good up-and-coming actress.
What is good about this fan thread, and others for that fact, is that we have a place to have an open discussion about anything to a certain extent, which I believe is healthy for our thread as long as the discussions are appropriate. I know that when I come and check here on the Miri thread I can enter into any sort of discussion that interests me and know that I have some very unique and heartfelt friends in a fanbase such as Miri's. A diamond in the rough so to speak.
I will apologize for posts I have written in the past that are blantantly OT or innapropriate.
And if some of you guys/gals add me on Xbox Live I am ready to have party chats about ME2 or Miri specifically. That would be cool
