Firefly Spoilers
Discussion of all Firefly episodes, including "Trash", "The Message", "Heart of Gold", and any movie news.
Did y'all see the thing in AICN? It was linked from the official board. Says a major character dies tonight.
Oh dear!
Here.
I hope it's not Wash! Oh hell, the only one I won't be sad about it Inara.
If a regular character dies, are they going to have to make changes in the episodes we haven't seen yet? Is there a character that's not in the pilot episode we're going to see? What episode number was tonight's ep supposed to be?
Well, they *did* kill Gunn in one episode of Angel, right? Maybe it's something like that.
Ooh! Look! The Sphinx!
Dammit - I didn't mean to come into this thread. I meant to go into the regular Firefly thread. I will not click that link. I will not click that link. I will not cli...
dammit - I'm a weak-willed women. Verra weak.
I haven't clicked the link. I won't click the link. I need to get ready to go dancing anyway.
OK kids time to learn a new word "duplexing" a show that runs on one channel then another. For example MONK!, nuff said.
Now to the important thing Firefly. With the willingness of the studio to air firefly elsewhere I see a WB makeover coming quick. Angel has little air left in it for Joss but I like and see more story there (in Angel). I see salary and actor interest becoming to double blow for the show.
Firefly option 1 ABC (disney) This would be smart of them to take a renegade like Joss and get a hit show (Goddess knows they need it) in Firefly a show that can easily replace XFiles in the mind of viewers(which was not a big ratings monster until late in season two or three. We pretend not to know that. Disney is to mono selective to make that move. Keep in mind the last space show that we watched on regular network TV to be successful was Buck Rogers in the 25th century Aaaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!
option 2 UPN Enterprise is steady but slow (very slow) it needs a boost although they both deal with space in the future I think that these two shows could combine their audiences and compete with each other in a positive way. I am sure that Joss would not mind being spoken of in the same conversation as the Rick Berman & Brannon Braga (because they convince studio execs to say yes repeatedly).
option 3 WB Hmmm is the cast of Firefly to old for the WB? Good question.
In all options duplexing with cable networks TNT Sci-Fi and USA are possible and then there is the always popular choice join Andromeda in syndication and reduce the budget and wing it. Remember we all tried to watch Cleopatra 2525 so I am sure that WE would find a good show that we want to watch.
HEY STUDIO DUDES JUST BECAUSE ONE STUDIO THROWS UP ITS HANDS DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO AGREE. WHEN YOU AGREE WITH THEM THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU!!! YOU MIGHT AS WELL COLLECT A PAYCHECKK FROM THEM TOO.
================ SMART'N UP WE THE AUDIENCE ARE THE ONES THAT WATCH
