Ok, we yall kno that Firefly has only a flicker of hope left.
Here we have a second chance as fans to rally behind a series from the beginning, and it's David Greenwalt's Miracles. From the brain behinf Angel, comes David's new show, yes it's not Joss, but it will be good. The SHield from Shawn Ryan turned out good, (from what i hear) (i dont get the show in my area, bluk!)

Miracles will have dark tones, and ABC advertises INTENSE SUBJECT MATTER, hopefully it's as good as Buffy and Angel. Never forget that Greenwalt helped Joss make the two what they are today. Buffy more than you'd think...

I feel we should have at least a forum for Miracles on this site, as hopefully we will not just be Buffy & Angel & fallen Firefly fans in the Jossverse, but Miracles too.

Who's with me?

If you know anyone that can help my screenwriting career, please help! And yes, I am self-advertising here. Hehehe, me such a little devil.

WASH: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction.
ZOE: We live in a space ship, dear.
WASH: So?

What's it going to be about. Scifi-ish?

Here's my dirty secret: I never watch anything but Fox, network wise, so I only know shows that come on Fox. So I only watch Fox. So I... and on and on. Scary to think that if Firefly had not been on Fox I might never have seen it.

I just don't care about Miracles. It doesn't seem all that ground breaking or anything. It'll probably end up like Brimstone and Millenium (I liked what I saw of Millenium and Brimstone, both of which were vaguely in-the-vein of Miracles, but they never really went anywhere) which is to say, cancelled. I also doubt ABC can pull off a genre show other than Alias.

Why all this talk of giving up on Firefly? Granted, the future isn't bright, but if the fan base dies off suddenly, is Joss or anyone else going to try to shop it around anymore? Or make the (possible) direct-to-DVD episodes/movies? No he won't because it won't matter if no one is buying. I like David Greenwalt, but not enough to give up on my show. Thanks any way.

P.S.: "INTENSE SUBJECT MATTER" for ABC, the channel owned by Disney and made popular by T.G.I.F programming, could mean someone says the a-word once or twice, or some corn syrup blood coming out of a statue. I wouldn't pin my hopes on a disclaimor put on the show by the network.

Now, don't forget ABC spawned NYPD Blue, which pushed the envelope regarding how much controversial content could be broadcast on Network TV. And as a result, we must realize what "INTENSE SUBJECT MATTER" really means for Miracles: Partial nudity! You know... If you're into that sort of thing.

That being said, ain't no way a show called "Miracles" can best my Firefly. Sounds a little too much like "Seventh Heaven" or "Touched by an Angel" for my tastes.

Maybe if it was called "Cool Show with Partial Nudity and Gratuitous Use of the F-Word" or something... that'd be a fun show to watch.

If you're into that sort of thing.

Long story short: I don't want intense subject matter. I want Joss and Tim and Mal and Inara and Book and Kaylee and Simon and Zoe and River and Wash and Jayne. I want cutting edge Science Fiction, smart, funny, distinctive writing. I want plots that start out as something you think you've seen before, but then show you how it SHOULD have been done; putting the ham-fisted writers of shows like Enterprise to shame.

I want to see Serenity fly in silence through a black abyss populated entirely by human beings; some not quite so human as they might once have been.

THAT's the sort of gorram thing I'm into. ;)

being familer with david greenwalts past work, i can pretty safely say that miracles will be nothing at all like touched by an angel. his past credit include Profit, Buffy, and Angel(another deceptive title). plus it stars Skeet Ulrich, a great actor if there ever was one. should be a pretty intese show. ABC's track record for good shows is way better then fox lately.

Keep Flying!
