Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
I remember a rage and someone posting in response, but I don't remember the story. Possible I never read it, given the reaction it inspired. I'm lazy like that. Oh, wait - was it the "Yeah, so, Fox is probably going to cancel it anyway..." one? It probably was.
Of course, now I have to go search. Why? I'm not entirely sure.
Starts here, Jen.

Ah. I remember now.
You are so tricksy with the stealth spoiler in the midst of that conversation...
So be it. Though I'm more likely to accidentally claw my own face off in the process.
(er, for The Inside, whitefonted for those who've not had the chance to see it yet)
Oh yeah, that guy.
I miss him.
Yeah. In my net travels, I saw him post a sort of, "didn't I call that?" thing when Tim posted the sad news. And I thought, "make sure to shake it off so you don't dribble into your boxers when you're finished pissing on the grave."
And then I thought, "I'm a tad obsessively overprotective, which isn't really necessary."
I know The Inside is Tim's baby, but I think you are kind of a favorite aunt. Your protectiveness is understandable and appropriate.
And I hate told-you-soers.
I'm sure it wasn't an intended gloat, I'm just a raw nerve about such things. The Allyson-Filter is sometimes ridiculously humorless.
It occurs to me that getting ranted at for a pessimistic but not disparaging review might provide a lot of motivation to gloat in an I-told-you-so follow-up piece. I know I wouldn't be above writing one under such circumstances.
Which is why I refrained from kicking him.
They cancelled The Inside? Bollocks! Fox must really hate Tim and Joss. I mean, who cancels a police show? Is that four shows cancelled in three years now?
