Someone tell me how I keep from killing people who want to (today) start petitions to bring back Firefly.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

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 got an email from a guy about that, Tamara. He read my essay about Firefly and sent me a big, "say it ain't so, I still have hope, there's a new petition" email.
I don't know how to respond. Usually when i send something kind stating a few reasons why the show isn't coming back, I get an argument.

Thanks, Allyson. I know it doesn't really do any good to use logic. So, in my typical form, I'm just being nasty.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I guess the movie gave people hope? Mixed messages from some of those involved probably don't help much, but really, I think that previous actions have pretty much shown the level of fan support that's out there, and anything now just reconfirms the craxy.
Just in case anyone here hadn't figured everything out and really wanted to hear my opinion. It could happen. Theoretically.

I'd be first in line, libkitty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Huh. And I had a dream last night about a snake being in my apartment, too. At first I was running away from it...but then it was in my shower, and that pissed me off, so I went after it with my softball bat.
The manager who came to deal with the carcass was impressed.
...
And just to be on-topic, I saw a commercial for "Slither" during LOST last night. Hmm. I love my captain and all...but not quite that much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so psyched for Slither. That's exactly how much I love the captain. I heard it's funny.

I know, I'm a bad person.
For what it's worth, I'll probably break down and get it on Netflix...when I can skip past any horrifying bits.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope it's Tremors funny. I like Tremors.
