I had a friend I loaned the DVDs to almost turn off the pilot because the first half was slow.



O M G! Could the Fox execs have been right?!

It's the apocalypse!

There was an essay in Finding Serenity (I forget which one) that suggested such a thing might be true. Now, before you lynch me, I realize the pilot is very essential to enjoying Firefly, however, having it be an hour long might have been the way to go. Might be an interesting project to "cut" the pilot down to an hour and retain all the relevant story arcs.

No lynch mob here. Long, long ago on a post far, far away I made a similar suggestion. The casts should be coming off any month now.

People should consider that this is a very ssslllooooooowwww time of the year for most industries and businesses (unless they have a waterslide or a large geological anomaly). This time every year we start to freak thinking our business is dieing and then we remember - people are on vacation, numbers are just normally down. Same may be true for TV. I'm not not sure what their seasons are but I know from what our usual tv habits are that there's just less on right now and so we're watching A LOT less in general.

Meanwhile, the third episode of Firefly earned a 1.1 household rating outside of primetime at 7 p.m., down one-tenth of a point from the previous week.


Two drops in consecutive weeks. Again, source material here.
