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.
'Underneath'
[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.

I've been in several fights to resurrect "Farscape", "Firefly" and "Futurama".
Too bad the show isn't called Frive.
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?
The fans (me too) were outraged.
So... he's not a fan?
Perhaps Frank is not known for his outrage over cancelled television shows, but given his work on F-shows prior, I doubt that is the case.
I did put the idea out there the other day that fans should have a mini-campaign for Drive on DVD, as that's one fight I think there's a chance of winning. Nobody bit, and I'm too burnt from the whole thing to try. I'd love to see some retrospective interviews and some commentary. Although I think I'm kinda clouded by the personal feeling that they should at least give it a DVD, you know?
If there were 13 episodes in the can, I'd want them on DVD. But since only six episodes were shot, it doesn't seem likely I'd buy the DVD. If episodes 5 and 6 went on iTunes, I'd buy them, so I could see Kristen's episode, and if they went up on the website or the MySpace page, I'd certainly watch them.
My worry at this point would be whether the six episodes will actually tell any kind of a story, or if it would just make things worse for those of us who did watch and enjoy the show.
Well, Tim said here it ends on a cliff hanger. I did say a while ago I didn't see the last episode airing -- it's not that I think it's bad. It's because I think it would annoy people if it aired due to lack of conclusion. On DVD, I think there's some level of karma as you know when it's going to end -- but that's possibly just me.
I'd buy a DVD, as I figure it'd be half price (I'm totally cheap), as long as there were actual features on it.
I still think the DVDs would be worth it if it were packaged together with The Inside. Without that, I would still buy it, despite the cliffhanger ending.
