That's probably "booked until May of two thousand FOREVER."
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I keep thinking I should jump into the fray. And then I take my meds.
Also, I'm verily impressed. I'm not quite certain that Matt would take a call from me, yo. And I'm not a crackpot.

I don't think it's worth jumping into the fray. This thing will fizzle itself out when FOX refuses to discuss selling the rights, and nobody has to be the "bad guy". Besides, if it ever gets dangerous to the franchise, somebody from inside the camp will let the craxies know to cool it.

What is even happening?
I'm not sure whether email Haken or make popcorn.
What's the right thing to do?
- Draft the e-mail to Haken.
- Put the popcorn in the microwave.
- Spell-check the e-mail.
- Pour yourself some soda, and retrieve popcorn from microwave.
- Get napkin.
- Proof e-mail.
- Take sip of soda.
- Send e-mail. To The Kristen.
- Start eating the popcorn.
Apparently he spoke to Tim's agent, who said he was booked until May.
That's probably "booked until May of two thousand FOREVER."No. It's May the day never come.

Um.
OK, so Miranda has a blue sun. But no mention of Blue Sun Corporation in the movie. Also no hands-of-blue guys (which is fine with me).
At least one of the bottles Jayne drank from was Blue Sun branded.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
At least one of the bottles Jayne drank from was Blue Sun branded.
Yup, the bottle that he passed to Simon after Mal's big speech.
Also no hands-of-blue guys (which is fine with me).
The blue hands are dealt with (and very unsatisfactorily, IMO) in the 3 Serenity prequel comics.

Yeah, I know. I was saying no Bluehands in the movie.
I didn't notice the bottle was Blue Sun brand. That's cool, but still a bit off the path the series established for the corporate/government Big Bad.
Which, you know, fine, as the movie's a movie, and not a series ep (even if it seemed like one at times).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Maybe the Blue Sun Corporation got bought out by Fruity Oaty Bar, Inc.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Wait - who are you again?"
Not sure if this is even worth posting, but...
A spokesman for Joss Whedon, creator of Firefly and its spinoff movie, Serenity, told SCI FI Wire that Whedon hasn't heard of Ace Underhill, an entrepreneur who said he is trying to acquire the rights to the SF TV franchise for purposes of mounting a second season to be distributed in alternative media. "Joss doesn't really know anything about that guy, and I don't really think he has a comment," Whedon's spokesman said in response to questions about Underhill's efforts.
For his part, Underhill told SCI FI Wire that he has contacted Whedon's representatives about starting up a new season of Firefly, which the Fox broadcast network canceled after a single season in 2003, but hadn't spoken with Whedon directly. Whedon previously told USA Today that he still hopes to tell more stories set in Serenity's futuristic universe, but added that there's no chance he'll do another Firefly TV show.
In response, Underhill said in an interview: "If he contacts me and says, 'Hey, we're not interested in Firefly anymore' or 'I'm not interested in Firefly anymore,' then I will abandon the project, and essentially it's over at that point. I'm not looking to create a cheap knockoff of the series without Joss' input. So that's not going to happen. ... If he's not going to be involved, then there is no project. There's no point."
