Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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

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?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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.

ita, I meant waiting until after we see what happens with the movie before deathmatching firefly quotes. Since I fully expect lots of quotable goodness come [date removed so as not to jinx it again.]

As far as the firefly list on the quote-o-meter, I think it should be culled down and I'm pretty sure the submitter would have no problem with that, although he/she can easily be asked. And I'm happy to bullshit consense that Lee do it.

I think we started death-matching before the end of Buffy -- or was that a post-Season 5 summer event?

(Wonderfalls quotes would be fun!)

I'm a big fan of WF quotes on there, but I'd prefer quotes from episodes 5-13 not be included until after the DVD is released. If I'm in the minority it's not that big a deal.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can't open the quotes file on this computer, and generally I can't open zip files at work. I would need either a plain excel file, or someone else to volunteer, assuming that people still want to weed out the Firefly quotes.

"What happens with the movie"? Is there buzz I'm missing?

Anyway, I really don't care about deathmatches, and that's not really what's up here for discussion. This is about adding or deleting quotes. Deathmatches would just be an easy indicator of popularity.

Wonderfalls quotes would be subject to normal general spoiler rules, wouldn't they? Those are the rules that have been applied so far.

Marked your post ita. So NAFDA aired eps are okay?

Ayup.

And why did it parse the link [link] into [link]? It's a board link ... it should be displayed prettily -- did that stop working and I missed it?

Thanks, ita. I will do the weeding and get it back to you after Christmas.
