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.

I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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."

I still like my "Like Buffy - Only Canceled" - even though it didn't even garner a hiss

Actually, as much as I love "I'll be in my bunk", I think "Still Flying", in whatever configuration is the right way to go.
