Happy Birthday to the man who's killed everything.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Seems a fresh warrant for your arrest come up on the cortex. Had your birth date attached right to it.
Happy birthday, Tim. Maybe I'll go watch Out of Gas again, 'cause I can't get enough of that sweet stuff my little lady gets behind.
But whatever it is you're into now, I'm waiting for. Just so you know.
Oh, and, let's all go vote. For Kerry. Otherwise, don't vote. Stay home. Pray. But don't vote.
And, speaking as a New Yorker? All I can say is, I'm just glad New England got all this out of their system. Finally.
Catch you guys next year.
Just give me Tim. Give me Jane E. Next spring give me Jayne and Mal and the lights on Kaylee's door. Give me a good opening that leads to the second movie that Tim is a part of. But between now and then?
Give me something to watch and post about again!
Thanks, Tim.

This is a little bit late, but Happy Birthday, Tim. May the rest of the year be as great as the quality of your work.
(Where all values for "quality" fall under "amazingly fantastic and wonderfallsful.")

The evil is this way?
little bam bam!!!
Catch you guys next year.
No, next year will be the Cubbies year. Because folks said this year "Wait 'til next year." So, next year we win. I mean, the players ran the broadcasters out of town this year. That must have been the last piece of the puzzle. Now they can assemble all the pieces and build a World Series team. Or, you know, not.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Happy Bidet, Tim! Belatedly, and questionably spelled.

What is even happening?
And, speaking as a New Yorker? All I can say is, I'm just glad New England got all this out of their system. Finally.little bam bam! I missed you during the ALCS (even when Boston was down three), and said as much, somewhere else. (I don't think it's out of our systems yet. It's just sinking in.)

If I only had a brain...
I SO look forward to the end of the pretentious editorial natter about The Curse Of Being New England And Tortured. Maybe they can start complaining about The Curse Of Bad Movies instead.
On the other hand, I do look forward to reading Roger Angell on the series.

Because they get good ratings. If FF had Lost's numbers, it'd still be on the air.
I may be naive, but I'm of the firm belief that if Fox had supported Firefly from the beginning, they would have gotten the ratings. Everyone I've shown the DVDs to loves them, including people who don't like anything else that I like. My dad hates Buffy and has never seen Angel, and he loved Firefly, ordering them on NetFlix to show them to my uncle. I always get the question, "So, tell me again why this was cancelled?"

I don't see Firefly getting Lost-style numbers even if everything about its scheduling and promotion had been ideal. The concept, by its very nature, was going to appeal to a much smaller audience. But it might have squeaked by into renewal if handled better.

Maybe not Lost numbers. But I bet the numbers could have been good. I seriously have yet to find anyone who doesn't at least like the show a lot, once they see it. At first I thought it was just me, and people like me. But my Dad thinks it's one of the best shows he's ever seen. And he doesn't like anything that I like.
The last sentence gave me flashbacks to Mikey, of Chex (or was it Life?) cereal fame. Dang. I feel old.
eta: Also, the concept for Lost doesn't seem like a shoo-in for popularity to me. Certainly, it turned out well. Does anyone know if the suits thought it would ahead of time?
