If I've insulted you, sorry.
But if you're open to new discoveries about the evil machinations of governments, then cool.
Personally, if I find a theory that interests me, I don't wait for more, I investigate myself.
I also never said I haven't looked into it myself. I love a good conspiracy theory.

What I don't love is how folks present them, and berate those who ask questions.

Yea, I was thinking that too, Fox has always been "Trash TV", nothing conservative there. The lowest common denominator rules (I can't give you any specific examples since I usually avoid those kinds of shows like the plague).

You know, it may actually be nothing more than a battle between certain Fox execs that are innovators and the commercial sponsors who only want what's going to sell the most of their produces. Chicks in hot tubs sell, interesting characters and thought-provoking scripts don't.

Firefly was cancelled because it didn't get the ratings. Fox is partly to blame for that. But, whatever way you spin it - if it had the same kind of ratings as Friends, it would have stayed on the air. Money speaks.

Fox, the netjerks who couldn't even air the episodes in the right order?
The same ones who can't see that when somebody finally actually sees Firefly, they like it?

Sorry, but if your argument was correct, money would say 'make nothing but Oprah & reality TV'.

Joss is a genius, and at 20% of a blockbuster budget he got a shot at his vision; but what about all the other stuff we'd like, but written by unknowns that will never get off paper?

The USSR used to control their writers too, and perhaps Joss's finest accomplishment is that Serenity didn't suffer our method of doing the same thing- death by committee. Serenity will take its place beside Forbidden Planet, Bladerunner, and the other cult classics. It will pay for itself too, I have no doubt...

Um, I'm sorry, but that's just paranoid. I love Firefly as much as anyone else, but this has to got to be one of the stupidest reasons I've ever heard. There is no conspiracy. It was cancelled for not getting sufficient ratings... which was no fault of the show. Firefly is the best television series ever created, and hopefully, there will be more episodes. However, it was not cancelled because it hit too close to home!

Just a bit of advice for you: check how old a thread is before responding.

I agree! I'm so glad this thread was revived so I could read it!

It all makes sense now! The American Goverment IS Blue Sun!

They've made a secret deal with Microsoft, Amazon and several other big multinational corportations to take over the world and were about to launch their new Blue Sun corporate logo when they heard about this series that was blowing their secret plans wide open, even hints about their biowarfare research, and panicked!

I'm really glad that I now know the truth! It's so much more interesting than that bring economics stuff!

You forgot about Walmart. Walmart and Microsoft are out to get us. Since I am a Mac user, I am sure I'll be one of the first to be targeted.

Perhaps Joss is from the future!

Think about it: Sent back to gain cultist fans that everyone dismisses as 'hopeless', but us Browncoats are in actuality the future Independents who will battle the evil conglomeration of Microsoft/Wal-Mart/U.S Government!! A.K.A...BLUE SUN!!

HE'S TRYING TO WARN US!!

Damn yes! I'd forgotten about Walmart! I've seen that episode of Southpark, I know the truth about that organisation!

And now they're coming over to the UK! We're doomed I tell you!

Plus, I read here that Walmart were pairing Serenity with Hulk in double packs. If that doesn't reek of a conspiracy to supress our BDM what does?
