'Just Rewards (2)'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I think, if anyone thinks they've got a good quote, they should send it to me any old how, as long as it's got speaker, show, and episode and I'll format it properly. Then, sometime early January, I'll figure out what I've got, add some more, and send it on to ita around end of January.
ita, in a word document or text doc or what?
This format, text file.
Got it, thanks ita.
I don't think there was ever a firefly deathmatch.
ita, why don't you send me the file of Firefly quotes, then, and I will winnow it down.
It's in the spreadsheet I linked to above, Lee.
I don't think there was ever a firefly deathmatch.
I'd suggest waiting until firefly is actually dead.
I like the Firefly quotes (like Robin who is eternally wise), but I can see where if you don't get the context, not so much fun.
I feel qualmy about pruning the list though. I gues if someone submitted them, it feels presumptuous to cull without his or her input. Imagine if you all had submitted stuff. would you want a say in what stays and goes?
Coming back from way before...
I'm with Wolfram that we should wait to actually deathmatch Firefly. But IMO, a lot of the Firefly qoutes up there are good lines, but not necessarily great quotes. I'd like to whittle them down some.
Basically typing out loud here...
If we took, say, five or ten quotes from the file at a time, voted (or polled, since I hate to throw the word vote around here lightly) for the top half of however many in each group, and did that until we got to a number roughly comparable to the number of Buffy and Angel quotes in the file...would that work?
I'd suggest waiting until firefly is actually dead.
We have 720 quotes already -- I think there may be some prep work that can be done before next September (is that what you meant?) since it's actually bothering people (not including me -- when I do bother to look up, I like anything that makes me think about the episode).
Why would you have to wait until the movie anyway?
I'd like to submit Wonderfalls quotes. I'm writing synopses for TM.net, soon, and would like to put in a handful.
ita, let me know how to prep them and what file format (.txt?) to send them, and after the holidays I put them together.
If that's okay with everyone else. I thought maybe about 25-30 quotes to mix it up? There's only 13 eps to work from, so maybe less.
