No You Have to Agree with *My* Idea!
Firefly/Serenity Wank! Get it while its fresh!

DogbreathCanada posts in the firefly_fan community on LJ a regular complaint among the fandom about the series's rights not being released by Fox. At first it's a regular agreement that Fox is-as pre usaul-acting unfairly.

Until Macmathan posts: "In my fantasy world I would love to see HBO pick it up as their dramas are stellar and Joss wouldn't have to lighten up on any of his themes to satisfy network statndards."

To which DogbreathCanada responds:"Obviously you've been far too wrapped up in your Mal/Jayne slashfic to know that Sci-Fi has this little series called Battlestar Galactica. If you'd seen it, you'd know that it's actually got a harder edge to it than Firefly ever had on Fox.

HBO will never do a sci-fi series. It's not their thing. It's not part of their demographic.


Apparently DogBreath doesn't stand for any shit in hir house; nor slash.


Pelennor Fields sensibly points out why bringing Firefly back to t.v. wouldn't work: "There are a few reasons bringing the Firefly/Serenityverse back to tv would never work...


Dogbreath just slaps his boner for Battlestar Galatica in response:"Given that Battlestar Galactica looks like Firefly in many respects, the "drastic budget cuts" argument holds no water.

I'm beginning to think no one on fireflyfans ever watches Sci-Fi, especially BG.

I'm pretty sure the cast of Serenity are getting next to no Hollywood offers."



Pelennor Fields finally has enough and lays the smack-down the Sci-fi channel.


Dogbreath just continues to be insulting and one begins to wonder why he posted in a firefly fan comm at all.


They continue to wank back and forth and no doubt the wank will continue to grow as other "Browncoats" see the post.

Ehhh.

TV stations pick up shows that get ratings. A TV show that got cancelled on a local network isn't exactly getting battled over by the cable chanels.

Besides, wasn't the movie supposed to wrap things up? Why make more tv episodes?

(And isn't BG a remake/contination of another show of the same name from years ago?)

Actually if the movie makes 80 million total at the box office there will be two more sequels-hence why everyone's in a frenzy over the numbers. And believe me, by no means did the movie wrap anything up.

Yes, it's a remake of an original. It was very different... Starbuck was a guy, etc.... I remember the original well and haven't seen the remake though everyone tells me how much better it is. (And I'm sure it is, the original was campy at best. I ate it up at the time though, and I still keep a soft spot in my heart for it. I even wrote slash for it once, messing with my own childhood.)

Oh, newsflash: FOX had a fucking reason to cancel that goddamn show. You might not like the reason, which is your prerogative, but if it had brought the advertising trillions in by the second, it would not have been cancelled. If any other network picked the show up without major budget cuts, it would provide fodder for ridiculing for centuries.

Why is hating on FOX the new hating on Microsoft anyway?

Frankly, it's cheaper to produce reality programs and ones which require little to no script, acting, directing or plot. I love 'Firefly', I really do, but if you're in charge of a major television network you're not going to have the creative insight or moral scruples to produce good TV anyway: you're going to produce what's going to sell.

Which is what TV has always been about, anyway.

HBO didn't keep on with Carnivale, why would they pick up Firefly from another network? I mean, I loved Firefly, and I thought the movie was pretty fun. However, I doubt there will ever be a return of the television series, simply because Fox owns all the rights.

Heh, you win some, you lose some. The Firefly fans should feel special. The Carnivale fans never got a movie. :(

Aren't Mal and Jayne of opposite sexes? If so, it isn't slashfic - that's homoerotica, whether m/m or f/f.

Not in this context that I care, since I have never seen the show or film and am not really bothered if I do. Just a ficwriter's observation..."

Erm... what? What the HELL is someone who has never seen Firefly doing in a fireflyfans community? Mal and Jayne opposite sex? Yeah, in some twisted fanfic, maybe. Jayne would make such a lovely girl.
