So, once the elections are over and we know who is going to be our next president, what should be our next hot topic?

I'm looking for topics that are off-beat, entertaining, witty and shiney!

We could argue the correct spelling of shiny..but that'd be short-lived.

How about a pool about if there'll be a recount?

How about literally starting the Browncoat Party and planning for 2008?

Now, UncharteredOutlaw, that's an interesting idea for 2008. We could call ourselves the Independent Party or the Fireflys For Freedom Party.

Our ticket could promise that if our candidate was elected, all reality television shows would be cancelled and we'd tax the hell out of all major networks forcing them to declare bankruptcy. That would make way for the new Whedon World Channel along with three new Sci/Fi Channels and another Independent Film Channel.

All scripts for any show must be approved by a Whedon team of writers before being allowed on the air.

We would also implement a strict screening process for all "actors" who wanted to star on television. This would ensure that the only people who could be on television could actually, well.....act. Of course, that might leave us with a small pool of American actors and a large pool of British and Austrailian actors, but that is a good thing.

I think you are really on to something... Opportunities are endless. Looking forward to more ideas!

How about actually discussing FIREFLY and SERENITY!

I'm getting tired of politics on this site.

But there's still five months until Serenity!!!!! We need something to pass the time!!!!

In all seriousness though, I can't help but wonder if the recent proliferation of politics threads is not just because of the election. It's been almost 2 years since Firefly was cancelled; I for one am leery of starting new threads about the show because I figure that whatever I'm going to say has been said before.

But that could just be me .

*sigh* I just can't win...

On another note: if it's possible for something to be Mal-icious is it also possible to catch Simonella?



Yeah, I know that was bad... it's the cold medicine talking, makes everything amusing.

Hey, for you it might have been cancelled 2 years ago, but some of us never even had the chance to see it 'til recently!

I only got the DVDs last week - watched the entire season in 3 evenings, and am now even more peeved that our TV stations are too stupid to buy it and show it

I'm having fun lurking on this site. I don't know anyone else who's seen (or even heard of )Firefly..............

I was going to come up with a list of lines from Firefly that Jayne said that might be construed as his attempts at pickup lines.

Maybe we could post ideas for episodes for if the show hadn't been cancelled.

Maybe we could post showtimes for when movies or shows with cast members from firefly are on.

plan gatherings

share recipes

start a letter writing campaign

discuss where to find clothes similar to those in firefly.

review other firefly web sites.

set up a fireflyfans.net dating service

that's just a few things off the top of my head. but pretty much anything is better than talk of politics. I'd rather hear talk of colonoscopies and papsmears than politics.
