:eek:
Yep, not like this is going to be a huge shock to us fans but…
After cancelling THE TICK–
After screwing around with FUTURAMA’s schedule until Matt Groening himself couldn’t find it with GistTV and a satellite dish the size of the Arecibo telescope–
After cancelling MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, its flagship series, without letting it shoot a final concluding ep after eleven years and letting its stars find out the fact on the radio–
–a Jossverse-oriented board I hang out on just got word from producer Tim Minear himself (yes, it’s definitely him, he’s a regular) that the episode of FIREFLY they’re shooting now will be the last one. They’ll finish production on the ones they’ve shot, and Fox will show them whenever the hell they feel like it to burn them off, and that’s it. Don’t know how many are left, etc., the news is still sinking in.
:mad:
Look, it wasn’t the second coming but it was a damn. good. show. Why the FUCK did you have to put it on Fridays at eight, when even someone as lame as me has a life?? Why ignore the pilot (a two-hour one that ironically will be the last regularly scheduled show, Dec. 20) and make the first ep America saw one of the lamer action-oriented ones? Why start it right before baseball playoffs so it was jerked off the air for two weeks as soon as it started? Why give it all the promotional budget of a Korean animation slave’s salary? Why not show reruns during sweeps?
Why break the fan’s hearts? Again?
Anyway, please watch it tomorrow night and Friday the 20th. I think it could have been a fun journey.
Mal, Wash, Zoe, Kaylee, Book, Simon, River, Jayne, and Inara–keep flying, folks, keep flying.
