I have a marketing suggestion for Joss Whedon. I'm sure he's anxious to hear this. A little background. I'm 54. My daughters turned me into a big Buffy fan. I have favorite episodes and lines, but I don't have a favorite Buffy outfit. I didn't catch Firefly when was broadcast. I don't watch Fox all that much. But, when I read an interview with Joss where he talked of Firefly, I asked my wife to give it to me for Christmas. Needless to say, I got hooked, my wife daughters and 9yo son got hooked. Our friends got hooked, etc.--- My proposal. Sell the pilot at a loss. Joss don't take a cut, mutant enemy don't take a cut, whoever you can persuade not to take a cut, don't take a cut. Hook everyone on the pilot and then sell the hell out of the set. Too simple I know, but I think it could work. Jeff
