In a good way, hopefully.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Windsparrow, sure. That seems like a good place to start. I'm not going to be able to do much with it until after Christmas. There's too much other stuff going on right this minute.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Quick question about the Random Quote Generator: When I'm in the message center and refresh the page, the RQG will show a new quote for 2 seconds and then pull a new quote and settle on that. I'm just wondering what's causing this to happen. (It doesn't do this when I'm in a thread and refresh.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
You'd do a deathmatch, but only after the franchise is done?
Well, I didn't say I'd do a deathmatch. But I think doing one before the franchise is done seems premature.
Doesn't deathmatch refer to the elimination of competitors, winner take all? I guess I assumed the quotes deathmatch name came from "Celebrity Deathmatch" type of thing, not because the shows were over.
They were over, and that's true, but it seemed more from boredom and finding something to do that was fun, than mourning or celebrating the demise of the shows.

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

I don't watch Firefly, and I don't deathmatch, but Buffistas were deathmatching for years while the shows were going on. Being tied to the shows ending is a new thing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We've done season-ender deathmatches for yonks before the series ended.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

But, the Angel franchise isn't completely dead - there has been talk (not lately) of TV movies.

Up with the sun
I think deathmatching is likely to take a very long time. Participation in the Angel deathmatches was pretty low, and I suspect it would be even lower for a show many of us have never seen, or haven't seen in well over a year.
I would rather add Angel and Buffy than cut Firefly -- I agree that a quote per minute is excessive, but I'm not sure I see a good way to slice it down unless Nilly or a trusted Nilly substitute was willing to be ruthless.

Thanks Jon.
