I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Nobody

I knew I wasn't being conciliatory enough before. *sigh*

You were being plenty conciliatory. I just am fighting the law all over the world, and the law keeps on winning. I need my concessions, no matter how symbolic.

(But really, you could use codewords! "Hey, what do you think Plate of Bacon is up to in that shot? I bet Mazda Miata's going to have a reaction!" Huh? Huh?)

Heee!

No.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Why is there still a Firefly thread? I'm not asking b/c I have an opinion one way or the other, but the show is cancelled. And I haven't been in the thread for a very long time, so I just wondered what is left to talk about.

This is just my own curiosity, not a campaign to keep or ditch it.

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

Well, there are three episodes yet to air (or...illicitly score somehow). Also people are still talking.

About...the show? But it's over. But, okay. We *do* have a thread for the Buffy S1-6, too, so that makes sense.

Just wondered.

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

Sometimes about the show, but there's an unofficial holding pattern, waiting for the final final finallest of words. Which hasn't come down yet.

But it's not. Three episodes yet to air.

Should we cancel the Farscape thread too since it's over?

(1) I was just asking out of curiosity, not any incipient desire to see the thread boarded up and condemned. Which I thought I made clear.

(2) I also said sure, since we have a backstory thread for Buffy S1-6, it makes sense that people still want to talk about Firefly.

Where was that not clear?

Don't get snippy with me, Missy. It was a logical question and I couldn't see where your disconnect was coming from. Thread's wind up creating their own vibes separate from the shows (like Due South - also cancelled), and Firefly drew it's own crowd that still wants to talk. I wasn't challenging you - just drawing the most obvious comparison. Both Firefly and Farscape have been cancelled but they both have shows in the can. Same situation.

I just asked the question before I thought it all the way through. I grok. It's like Backstory -- I understand why we discuss old seasons, even though they're OVER. I just didn't think it all the way through with Firefly.

And I was curious, really. That's the only reason I asked.

Cool?

Of course. I wouldn't say "don't get snippy with me" if we weren't cool to start with.
