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.

Oh my... gyaaah. I'm a big fan of Firefly and I loved Serenity, but good lord. It's gone beyond television now. The actors that came to Dragon*Con all agreed that they couldn't go back after having done Serenity, that it wouldn't feel right.

I kind of wonder why people get so hell-bent on bringing shows back in the first place. Sure, Fox cancels stuff all the time when it shouldn't, but why would you want to bring it back if the networks are reluctant and won't give you the funding to do it well?

I just can't think of any networks that would say, "Oh, sure, your show got cancelled when? With how much viewership? Oh hell yeah, I'll give you all the money you need, just go for it."

Something something firefly something something serenity. I saw the movie, no desire to see the show.

Why do they speak in mangled English and Chinese? Wouldn't a futuristic world made of those two superpowers have the languages combined, as that how language evolves? You cannot pay attention to some of the rules and ignore others, Joss Whedon. This will bother me. Forever.

Here“s a concept, liking two different shows despite their differences.

Amazing heh.

sounds to me like Dogbreath has Serenity envy.

"Why is everyone talking about Firefly/Serenity and no one admiring my Battlestar Gallatica? Wahhhhhh~~~~~~~"

I blame Family Guy. It got back on the air and now everyone is hellbent on getting their favorite cancelled show picked up again, whether it's on its original network or a different one.

Personally, I can enjoy Battlestar Galactica to an extent (even Girl!Starbuck is starting to grow on me), but the majority of their programming is intolerable crap, and I don't think they'd handle Firefly any better just because their whole network is supposedly suited for the genre.

But -- I like Firefly AND I like Battlestar Galactica. Can't I just like decent scifi for being, you know -- decent?

Also, shoot, everyone knows the real otp here is Jayne/Vera.

"Given that Battlestar Galactica looks like Firefly in many respects, the "drastic budget cuts" argument holds no water."

Doesn't Battlestar Galactica looks like Firefly because they use the same effects company? I distinctly remember the Galactica premiere (sadly the only stuff from the new series I've seen) using Zoic's zoom-refocus trick on the ships, the one they developed while doing Firefly. Now it's a totally cool trick that I would expect to get stolen, but it seemed like a trademark of that company.

A friend of mine watched one ep of Firefly and loathed it because it wasn't as good as Babylon 5. Now, I'm a HYUGE B5 fan, and a HYUGE Firefly fan, and I just sorta had to stop and stare at him in confusion because hello. Apples. Oranges. Other than being vaguely round and tasty, they really cannot be compared. Nor can Firefly and B5. Or Firefly and BSG. Or Firefly and Stargate (et al). Just because things happen in space on a space ship ('That's like science fiction.' 'You live on a space ship, dear.'*wildly paraphrases*) doesn't mean you can go expecting them to happen the SAME. Meh.

Some of the Browncoats take this REALLY serious

So if they did put up posters and encourage people at the movies to go see it, how well did it do this weekend? I haven't heard anything.

dogbreathcanada: Anyhow, considering Joss fugged up most of the story arcs with the film ... there's not much for a TV series to draw from any longer.

Uh, dude? Wasn't the ENTIRE POINT of your original post that Firefly should be revived as a TV series?

This makes my mind hurt.

Also, he is mildly retarded for wholesale insulting Carnivale while slavering over BSG since Ron Moore and several of the BSG writers ALSO WROTE FOR CARNIVALE.
