Lola, I'm loving your tagline:
Madame, what you said to her was "squid", not "good morning".
I shall therefore institute a (personal) policy of saying, "Squid!" in greeting. Anyone who wishes to join me, please feel squid to.
Squid, Ailleann! I think I have seen you de-lurk on occasion.
Which is understandable.
No, no it's not. I totally don't get anything but the wishing.
ita, Kevin, I think what's happening here, is that some Firefly fans have been watching wayyyyyyy too much other tv, and are now trying to go all House, MD on the possibility of Serenity sequels. They refuse to give up, preferring instead to try whatever wild shit comes to their freaky minds and think they can get away with being stubborn just because being right (and if they can just be stubborn enough, they will be) will justify them in the end.
Except that I doubt any fan of Firefly can possibly be as nastily brilliant as House.
And also that this is a grave exageration of the situation, mostly said because I feel like obsessing on House right now.
I don't know why this stuff still bothers me, but it does. I get all twitchy. Makes no sense.
But, Allyson, they left you out of it. This time.
I think that's because I stayed out of it.
It's the entire argument that makes me crazy.
Well, The One True B!x (I still don't get that nickname) has a point, I think. His thing is about, you know, charity. Which, if your aim is to make people take note, is an interesting side effect. Mass buying DVDs, I don't really see working - if the fan base wasn't big enough to open it at theatres, the online fan forum base won't be big enough to make a dent in online profits, and I can't see the fact it happening getting acknowledged outside the fan base.
The fact the people who collected Paypal money the other month are in this months Wired print magazine is curious.
I think sticking my head in the sand is going to be the best route to sanity.

Hey, Windsparrow!
The tag comes from a friend, he overheard an obnoxious tourist in Greece mangling "kalimera" into "kalamari" and corrected her.
Cephalopodophilia spreads! Like a cloud of ink! My mission here is over!
Sing it with me... "What the world needs now, is cephalopods, sweet cephalopods...."
Ok that doesn't work. Nevermind.

In my mind, he sounds Just Like Giles.
Except for the last time I read it, because a little John Cleese is starting to slip in there.
I knew that there was a reason I gave up on (other)
Firefly
sites after the BDM. I'm just a tad curious, but not enough to go look.

I think that some come mighty close. Not that it does any good.
I saw an ad for
Serenity
on pay-per-view last night. Too bad the ads for the theatrical release weren't half as good. Or rather, too bad that they
were
half as good.
This post sounds all bitter and cynical. I'm really not either one most of the time.
With my luck, I'm going to decide to go back to reading other
Firefly
sites next week, and they'll point to the previous post and say, "Away with thee, heathen!"
Can you believe I haven't even been drinking? Posting tired seems to be almost as bad. Huh.
