Daniel, see discussion around Allyson "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" May 23, 2003 4:33:12 pm EDT (it's pretty much what Elena said).

I'd be with this; one can never have too much Mal'n'Simon near-quotage.

I tried to think of a way to compact that whole exchange into a thread title, but ultimately I think it works best as just "Still flying". It's the key phrase in the dialogue, and it does double duty as a reference to the show's failure to be completely dead yet.

Thanks for all the fish.

I was kinda wondering if adding the second phrase made it less jinxy. Because the 'still flying' does feel jinxy to me, and if it's 'not much, but enough' then *either* the UKers seeing it, or the movie, or just the thread, might be it-- and I'm completely failing to make sense here, aren't I? You may be right. I won't oppose a simple 'still flying'.

Edit: but if we're going with Python refs., may I suggest "Firefly 3: It's pining for the fjords"?

Now, see, we've started on Python quotes and it won't be long before I find myself compelled to propose "Firefly 3: And after the spanking, the oral sex!"

Ooops.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

See, now I'm thinking "Firefly 3: Only Mostly Dead."
