To be fair, FF was also a financial success. It was a crap movie, but it had a bigger opening weekend than Batman Begins, and is getting a sequel first despite opening later.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Huh, I didn't even realise - thanks Jessica.

It was crap that featured Chris Evans burning his way out of his clothes. A lot. They found my price.
I think Lee is right: there were alot of characters but everyone loved Hiro. (Even if you think he became irritating later on.)
raises hand I may be the sole voice of dissent, but I merely tolerated Hiro because Ando likes him. And still do. I have not warmed to the character at all. Ando, Matt, and Mama Petrelli were my early faves.

Crap!

While I watched Drive and enjoyed it, I also wondered from the first episode how they could sustain it. Knowing Tim show I figured something good was planned, but the average public viewer may not have felt that way. Also, even by the second episode the amount of the show that was just effects shots of cars racing down the highway was old. I feared that 25% of each episode was going to be swoopy shots of cars on the road.
I was looking forward to seeing more of Drive, but I think I can see how Joe Public didn't come along for the ride.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I also wondered from the first episode how they could sustain it. Knowing Tim show I figured something good was planned, but the average public viewer may not have felt that way.
I wondered how they could sustain it, too, but to be honest, I don't think Joe Public thinks that far in advance. I think the vast majority of TV watchers are of the "be here now" persuasion.

I spotted this whilst lurking on the interwebs:
It's the first time I've seen the word uncancel, but it's a valiant, if unrealistic, attempt.

That's a funny site. My favorites parts:
The fans (me too) were outraged.
And we are not "saving" this show. We are "un-cancelling" it!
This is the best, though not the only, way to get the show back.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've been in several fights to resurrect "Farscape", "Firefly" and "Futurama".
Too bad the show isn't called Frive.

What is even happening?
Too bad the show isn't called Frive.Yes, especially since his name is Frank.
I've been in several fights to resurrect "Farscape", "Firefly" and "Futurama". With "Farscape" I created a commercial that was run on cable to get people to see the last four episodes. I've seen all the ideas and been a part of them and I felt it was time to orginize the fans for "Drive".
Any Farscapers know him?
