I have had a serious day at work and this thread was just what I needed to unwind!

I love it here! Home sweet home!

And I must read your fanfic!

I agree. Where do we find the fanfic? Love the snarkiness.

Wash's story is on this very site, in the Blue Sun Room, along with the River story I did earlier. Preliminary feedback seems pretty good. Sorry for only posting the acronym, I'm an old theforce.net message boarder, and they throw them around like nobody's business. But, rest assured, that the snarkiness is very much still intact. Plus, you get to see the origin of Wash's dinosaurs, and the horrible conflict they were party too!

Cybersnark: Holy cats! That is some thorough rewriting you've done there! I'll have to take a look at that later and give you an opinion. However, I've promised a new friend that I'd read her fanfic, so I'm afraid you'll have to take a number.

As for the poll, yeah it does stink royally that the BDM got such a bum rap. ROTS was pretty much a 300 pound gorilla at the cinemas last year. It couldn't be anything, given the marketing. Although I had to love how all of the ads focused on characters from the originals (Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Chewie) instead of the new characters. It was like Lucas just admitted that we all hated Stalkme Amidala (not my joke, I must confess) and Little Orphan Ani (still love that).

"Come to this movie! See, it has Chewie! And Yoda fights more! You liked that last time, right? Oh and Vader! Lots and lots of Vader. Well, maybe a lousy inept three minute coda, but still! VADER!"

And then, to cap it off, all of the "good" reviews basically boiled down to "It's not as bad as the last two!" Which gives rise to my personal theory for this phenomenon. If a man kicks you repeatedly in the groin for six straight hours, when he stops and hits you in the face, you thank him.

Sigh. It's a shame that good low-budget films have such a hard time breaking anymore. Serenity had so much more heart and talent than just about anything I saw last year, and I see my fair share of films. I've voted, and hopefully that'll help. At the very least, I do take solace in the fact that that the press at least realizes what a gem this series/film was. It might not get us back on the air (only our fanatical holding the line can do that), but at least it's something.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

ChrisPV,

I went away over the weekend and took my laptop with me, fully expecting to have wifi where I was going and read your fanfic! Awww, the foibles of going to the smaller resort areas....ack! no wifi.
So I have been gone from my beloved home here since Friday a.m. and am just not getting a chance to catch up.

I just wanted to say...every one go vote, on the subject of this thread and to to you ChrisPV, I can't wait to start reading this evening! And you're writing the next one now, right!? * she says excitedly*, cuz what little I peeked at, YOU'RE GOOD!!

" You hold. Hold til I get back." Mal

Okay, that was the best thing I've heard all day. And I've spent most of the day laughing at my roommate, so that's saying something.

Nicely done.

I watched the Three Amigos Episodes out of loyalty, of course, but I didn't find myself as wonderstruck as with IV, V, and VI. At first, I thought it was because I'd grown up since then.

Then, I realized they were just crap. Expensive, trinketed-up crap, but crap nonetheless. And all my Star Wars fanatical friends were severely ticked off at the abrupt end to the Jedi knights.

Talk about "curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal"! Good grief!
