Your preferred tent scene terminology?
serious crayons:
I think the two sets of terms developed in isolation on different boards, and now that the populations of those boards are mingling, the terminology is shifting. (The 21s century version of major world languages shifting in accordance with human migration patterns.)
Personally, I prefer TS1 and TS2, partly because they have that cool movie-ish look, like a Mission Impossible title, and partly because I'm tempted to mentally pronounced FNIT and SNIT as if they were just capitalized words, and snit actually IS a word, and one that does not fnit -- I mean, fit the mood of the scene.
But let's see what the majority of us prefer!
RouxB:
TS1 and TS2 for me too.
And, Barbara, yes let's resolve "the lake scene" while we're at it.

Good idea, Barbara! You volunteering?
It's interesting to see what terminology people prefer. For example, I think whether you call it "prayer of thanks" scene or "sweet life" scene or "Earl story" scene can be a good barometer of how you interpret larger issues in the movie as a whole.
Lynne:
I've always called them 'Tent Scene 1' and 'Tent Scene 2' in my head. I didn't see the FNIT/SNIT abbreviations until I was exposed to the DC forum and it didn't stick with me...too much like the words FIT and SNIT.
It is interesting to think of how we refer to these things. Even if it's not what I call it, I always seem to know what someone's talking about. For me, the 'lake scene' is the final Jack/Ennis scene. And the 'prayer of thanks' scene is either just that or the 'campfire after the reunion' scene.

I have been used to using FNIT and SNIT, but I'm happy ta switch with ya, makes no never-mind ta me. Just wanna be con-sistent. ;D
