Hey, if everyone was smart we wouldn't have anyone to look down on. Wait...that sounded bad...well anyway.

If everyone watched Firefly then we wouldn't be special...short bus? No...

If everyone watched Firefly then it would still be on the air... :crao:

Oh HELL!

I still feel better than those other morons...

loosely interpreted.. SciFi chan needs to resume it's mission. Put SciFi on the air.

New eps of Firefly should be headlining their primetime slots, but newp. We get "Ghost Stories" instead. Bunch of Jersey guys in a repainted plumbing van playing games with filtered cameras.

It's all just so... so... so scifi. Not to be confused with the "other" ghost chasers on "Family Channel".

bah

Vancouver, THANK YOU! That was exactly what I was going to say! And you said it a lot more articulately than I could have. ("I don't know what I'm saying. I never know what I'm saying." Feeling your pain, River..) The counterproof to this theory is that everyone I know who saw it (except one) has loved it. I believe the problem is mis-conceptions going into it. I've heard people say "I thought I wouldn't like it because I never saw the show".

Also, thanks for not forgetting about our sworn enemies.

You raise a point most people circumvent. Allot of people I know didn’t go to see the film on the grounds that, here, its advertised as 'the film by the guy that made buffy and angel!'... and not everyone takes that as a good thing.

I’ve nothing against buffy and angel. I used to watch them with my sister when they were on, but still it’s not what allot of mainstream want, so it instantly alienated a large segment of the target market.

meh, im gonna make this my last 'what could have been done to promote serenity with a possible greater efficiency' post, its unhealthy, and unhelpful, i know...

Serenity and Firefly are just too smart. People no longer seem to appreciate smart entertainment. It's really quite sad. If you look at some of the old children's cartoons like the 90's Batman, Pinky and the Brain and The Tick, you'd realize that they are a hell of a lot smarter and wittier than the majority of the shows on tv today.
