"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to stupidity or laziness.

Oh, I think there was some malice, in that the network didn't like the show, but I think it was for mundane reasons like "we don't think this will do well". I believe there was a bit of making sure the prophecy was self-fulfilling on the part of Fox, but that's a CYA thing, not any sort of political chicanery.

Plus, I seriously doubt Smirky the Wonder Chimp has even heard of Firefly, let alone holds an opinion of it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I took it to mean that suggesting Firefly was cancelled for a reason is as crazy as saying a PC might be better than a Mac.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

No religious talk, please. It only leads to Crusades.

No I got that, I just don't get why suggesting Firefly got cancelled for a reason is crazy. Did it get cancelled accidentally instead? Reason doesn't suggest pro and con to me, it suggests causation. Now if he had said "for a good reason", I'd agree with the analogy.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I totally suck. My brain is a sieve and I've been exhausted all week after a stomach thing I had through Monday, and I've been swamped with this that and the other, but still, I totally suck.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

libkitty, I'm sorry you have been feeling overwhelmed and that you had a stomach bug earlier in the week. I can't remember you doing anything sucky, and I don't care.

sits in the sucky corner with libkitty.

Awwww. The corner is starting to feel like a much better place. I just feel bad because I rally wanted to do the Objects in Space watch and post. I even set up a reminder, but completely forgot anyway. And I had gotten away from Bitches and Natter,and then back, and now I'm thousands behind again, with no prospects of that changing any time soon. I really miss spending more time here, but...
