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.

Both the thread there *and* the thread here say why - directed from here, not a regular member of the community. The number of folk here wanking away and apparently congratulating themselves on how terribly superior they are to the original poster, who *asked a question*, made a comment *conditional upon the answer* and politely accepted correction when it turned out she was in error, is astounding. Apparently no-one is *ever* allowed to make a genuine mistake without being told repeatedly how utterly stupid they are for making it. No-one may ask a question on a subject with which they are unfamiliar either, it seems, nor use the least bit of verbal shorthand (I don't mind being corrected as to facts; the inaccurate comment that my grammar is 'terrible' is fighting talk :-)). I really hope none of you are parents or teachers.

Many of you (not you, mireille626: you did at least try to consider what I was trying to say) simply jumped in to pour on the scorn without bothering to note that my comment was phrased AS A QUESTION quite deliberately, because I knew that I didn't know for sure. How exactly, does that make them better than me? They are doing the self-same thing - posting out of ignorance - and are being thoroughly snotty into the bargain; I was perfectly polite to the Firefly fans.
