Anybody watching the Firefly fandom imploding on itself?
There's loads of great topics at FFF.net, but this one manages to slag off Simon, Tamara, me, and just about everybody.

What seems to have kicking it off is putting out a press release (which ended up with the event going on US TV) for charity screenings of Serenity for Equality Now.
Can't Stop The Signal!
Hey, Jars! How's life? I grew a beard, shaved a beard, added some weight, lost some weight, had a girl, lost a girl, have a girl, laughed a lot, etc etc.
And how is your partner in crime?
And how is Uni?
And and. And!
Ah, well, I have had no beard, I 'm afraid, so my life is nothing in comparison to yours. I have a boy though, who is enabling my fannishness to no small degree.
And how is your partner in crime?
Can I assume you mean le Nibbler? She's good! Has one less organ now, but apparently it's one you don't really need.
Uni is eating my life and my brain at the moment.
How goes working for the Man? He getting you down?
Organless Le Nibbler! Poor Le Nibbler!
The Man is treating me kind, and paying me well. I am The Man's Willing Slave Bitch.

Thanks for the lube, Jars.
Apparently there's going to be a spin off from BSG called Caprica later in the year. Zoic will be busy.
Anything flavored "hello" is shiny. HEllO.
My big Firefly love: the spaceship. In fact, when I first heard of Joss Whedon's new series, the title actually, and that it's "about" a spaceship, that alone made me feel all warm and tingly. I love fireflies! I love spaceships! I was ready to love to death the spaceship that was a firefly!
And, boy, it was BEAUTIFUL.
My favorite episode is "Out of gas", and favorite scenes the very last ones, when Mal falls in love with his ship before our eyes. The only time I cried, too. He's dying and saying goodbye to everybody, and then SHE's the last thing he sees... I want a relationship like that.
Kevin, if this kind of thing didn't happen at least once a year I would be very very shocked. It's always nice to see my name dragged through the mud.
