all I was saying was they are not in the grip of anti-science fundies... more receptive to SF in general- not just Joss' visions. It was on a UK bb I first heard of Firefly- in a sig line!:]

forgot to mention- Brits had follow-up 'Making of' shows on BBC3 for every episode of WHO, kinda think that's a good way to support a series.

Also they've got this 'Red Button' thing, interactive TV they are playing with- quite interesting.

From the BBC site:

Quote:
1. Perched on top of the heap we call 2005, Serenity.
It was far from the biggest hit of the year but the rabid fanbase which helped get Joss Whedon's cancelled sci-fi series onto the big screen has now handed it the biggest accolade in modern cinema: the title of Film 2005 Film of the Year. Rachel Formby calls it, 'A labour of love filled with strong, superbly written characters, humour, emotion and cool effects'. Juliet Richards in Stanstead claims it 'brilliantly blended comedy, action, drama, horror and romance', adding that 'the only negative point I can think of is that it wasn't out for long enough so I only got to see it five times on the big screen'. That's the sort of passion we like to see.

Ah, the sweet, sweet taste of vindication. Take that, Lucas! You and your Very Big Explosion of a film!

(Sorry, wounded former Star Wars nerd. As they say, Joss Whedon is my master now.)

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

That's great news! On that subject, I noticed a poll today on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), where they ask for the best of 2005, some browncoats around here might want to do their duty for our cause, as I just did mine

Oh, here is the url: http://us.imdb.com/features/rto/2006/poll/bestof2005

You can't take the sky from me!

Thanks Storch for posting the IMDB poll! It would be nice if we could push Serenity into the top 5! Also, please consider Ron Glass for the best supporting actor category, at last check we would only need 90 some votes to get his name on the list. Nathan has made the list but could possibly move up a notch or two.

It seems to me that all my favorite sci-fi shows do better in the UK than the US. When I was hooked on Babylon 5 (still am to an extent...now not so much) it was really big there too.

Just voted for everything Serenity over IMDb (except a couple Wallace and Gromits), even though I had to register first. Looks like we have a good chance with the following:

IF WE GET A FEW HUNDRED MORE VOTES. WE ALL KNOW THERE'S MORE BROWNCOATS THAN A FEW HUNDRED!

Serenity for all the appropriate movie stuff
Nathan Fillion for best actor
Adam Baldwin for best supporting actor
Summer Glau for Actress
I put Jewel Staite since we didn't have a Serenity member for supporting actress yet
and Joss for Director--he's currently in third!

Glass definitely deserves one too, but I figured I'd do my best to bump up any Serenity member than scatter our votes...

there's like 30,000 votes there now, less I'm reading it wrong...

I voted for the obvious, but also put alan as best supporting actor, and gina as supporting actress.
it was cool that there was a serenity documentary to put for that category, I thought they just meant the ones which were released like films.
