Rplackett, I came to the same conclusions, both. But maybe if browncoats are cheating they can do so more discretely in the future :)

Well browncoats messing or not, I doubt stealth is necessary when dealing with Fox. Lets face it, they aren't MENSA.

I also suspect the strength of reaction to Firefly and Serenity may start a wave of Sci-Fi Westerns. Well there used to be a mass of Sci-Fi and Western shows, so it'll just save space (in more than one way) and hopefully make them well written like Firefly

While Ghod still does perform miracles, some things are just outside the pale now that He's required to file those pesky environmental impact statements.

(It would be v. v. nice, though...)

On the intelligence of Fox, it might not exist. Last night I was in a motel and had a chance to watch some Fox News and they said "Maybe Bush will do the right thing and come forward and tell the truth about what happened with the Plame leak." Yeah right, like that's ever going to happen. Of course to be fair I switched over to CNN and they were discussing something, I forget what, but the entire conversation was three anchors talking to each other about how they didn't know what some relatively common word meant. Intelligence appears to be in short supply. Or to quote what the commentator on CSPAN said relating to the whole issue: "Everyone seems to agree that what America really needs is more intelligence." Oddly, even she, seemed to miss the irony of that statement.

I'm still happy with the fact that they called Serenity a "successful movie spin-off".

Oh, it's better than just that. I got this off of Google news. Even if the browncoats cheated, it was presented to an extremely large audience as fact. This sets into motion a whole chain of events that starts with "Firefly is the top? Hmmm? What is this firefly? And why have I not heard of it before?"

WorldCon is in Los Angeles next year. My guess is Serenity is garanteed the Dramatic Presentation (Long) award.

Oh yeah… and the 2004 winner Dramatic Presentation (Short Form):
"Gollum's Acceptance Speech, 2003 MTV Movie Awards"

From Gollum to... Jayne?



Nice.

It'd definately be cool to see Firefly/Serenity winning an award.
