To all y'all who will be attendin', I'll be there Saturday and Sunday, alone on the first day, with two friends the second. I'll be hangin' in LA on Friday...so, any tips on what to do in that city for, like, $0...that'd be appreciated =)

I'm told the convention stuff doesn't get rolling until 3-ish (I have the full weekend ticket) so we should be able to catch an early show first.
Any and all browncoats are more than welcome to join me!

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

It's amazing. I say what nobody else seems to have the brass to say. And when I do, I get jumped on by the shmooze-up defenders. If I say anything to (or about them in reaction), suddenly I get the "Ohh you're only saying we all ALREADY know ~ you're just itching for a fight" routine.
Sheep. All of you.
I'll always love Firefly, and I'll always hate (1) the studio gestapo who killed it, and (2) the crowd who excuses it and attacks the people who point it out.
bah
thank god we have you here river90210 to illuminate for all of us how common dissident voices like mine are. what penetrating insights you offer into the generic nature of we dimeAdozen critics. i feel enlightened.
Bla bla blaa as bla. The "bla-that-blaa" just blaas.

LMAO!!!
Hey, I just found out that you and Denise are marketing execs and marketing agents of the "stars". I always thought the both of you were fans of FIREFLY and other JOSS WHEDON shows.... Is there something you haven't been telling me for the past two years?
Since you have the "connections", could you please, please, please get me a role in the next episode of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES or maybe SUPERNATURAL - I like the one guy who was in DARK ANGEL. He's kinda cute. But don't kill my character off in one episode. I want to last at least two episodes....

I really wouldn't call it having brass. I too think the con is too expensive and I won't be there only for that reason. I find it disheartening that the bill is so high and that only the wealthy fans (or those with a lack of other financial responsibilities) can afford to come. I'd really have to skimp just to afford the blooming ticket.
That said, I don't thing I offended the entire GORRAM board with what I just said. I expressed an opinion about the high price without being an instigator and without indciating that Star Trek was in anyway a decent show(okay...that might hurt some, but...).
I've met folks like you. Get a keyboard and a computer screen between you and your audience and your otherwise intellectual comments degenerate into hyper-offensive holier-than-though bullshit.
Get a grip and be a contributor.

Wow. You sure must be superior to us all, what with your remarkable ability to call people names for going to an event that you think is a rip-off.
Honestly, who the
do you think you are?You go on to relate this convention, somehow, to the "studio gestapo {sic}" that killed Firefly. Are you referring to Fox, here? Or what? Because I fail to see the correlation.
XG - don't presume to know a damn thing about a single person here. 'Cause you don't.
The rest of y'all, eh, see ya December 10th

I just hope that one day I can be as good as, and as great as, a trekkie.
They really are above us.

A Meaningless Rant
I'm going to go to the convention, but I'm feeling a little annoyed by this whole thing. I suspect that the only reason we got a movie was just so Joss could afford doing Wonder Woman (he better not screw that up by the way) and I really dont think it has anything to do with what we want....not at all.
Please forgive me for sounding so negative, but that's just how I feel right now about this whole thing; I actually wish I never heard of Firefly/Serenity.
The only reason I'm going to the convention is to see the actors up close; to see if there is a little bit of the characters from the show within their real personalities, to see if I like them as much as I liked their characters.
I know I'm going to be disappointed, but this is something I've got to get out of my system.
Now the big task when I go is not to act like a complete geeked-up fan when I get there, and I have to keep in mind that these actors have heard it all before from other conventions, so my telling them I really liked the characters that they played is only going to get me a plastic smile and thoughts of "Does this person even have a life?"
And the meaningless rant continues...
This is also going to be very expensive, because I want everything, so these actors are going to make a bundle off of me, and they wont even remember me, and all I get to take home with me is a whole bunch of photographs and signatures, and a bad feeling within my heart that I am seriously stepping off the deep end. The actors will go back to their hotels laughing at all of us, and counting their money...this is the sad and pathetic part about all of this.
And the meaningless rant continues...
I watched this interview of the woman who played lovable Kaylee, and I came to the conclusion that I don't like the real person, I liked the character she plays, but I dont like her. She seemed so condscending and pretentious in the interview and it surprised me a little; she must be a good actress because she made me believe that she was nice and loveable, while in real life she's a total A.W.G.
And the meaningless rant continues...
In every photograph that I see of Summer Glau, she's wearing this "hey, I'm a star" look on her face, and all the other actors look hungover all the time...its really starting to get to me.
* I think I'm going crazy *
One final thing. During the interview, on the Firefly the Complete Series DvD with Ron Glass, why the hell was he laughing so much? It made you want to slap him.
With that I'm going back to bed and hope to never wake up.
Oh leave me alone...
