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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

There is a whiteboard at work being used as a room divider. On one side, they keep all sorts of tech notes about installations, etc. On the other side, it's generally blank in the walkway.

Last week someone drew a quick little stick figure spaceship Enterprise. That was followed by a stick figure Defiant class, then a cube we assume is a Borg cube.

Then I drew a fairly decent Serenity up in the corner last Friday.

On Monday, under it someone had scrawled "You can't take the sky from me!". Above it someone else had scrawled "I am a leaf on the wind."

Also? My supervisor just loaned DVD #1 of the series to a coworker. I'll have to tell him about the toaster plan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's cool.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had the Flanvention forum open in another tab and I just clicked past it and noticed it's now asking me to log in.

Uh, whatever.

What I do want to know is what happened with it...are they refunding? Bankrupt (the main BE site doesn't look that way)? Being sued?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

ita, BE have deleted their forum, the Flanvention information and Flanvention ticket purchase history (if you're a customer and log in).

There's a police investigation going on in Oregon which has made contact with about a hundred customers, an investigation going on in another state (but they've asked not to be named), and a state level department of justice probe going on in Oregon. (Oregon is where the business address is registered).

No word from the owners for about a week. Suspect they are shittin' it.

and a state level department of justice probe going on

I'm sorry, but that just sounds cool.

Granted, I'm not the one being probed.

Thanks for the heads up, Kevin.

I have no idea if BE was criminal, but they certainly were criminally stupid, all the way through and after the cancelled con.
