I'd like to add my very own

Top Ten Reasons Fox Shouldn't Cancel Firefly

10) I am a nerd. Canceling Firefly would make me angry. And if we’ve learned anything from last season of Buffy, you don’t wanna piss off nerds.

9) If the show gets cancelled, then the official website will be shut down and we’ll never find out what happened to the monkey.

8) I know where the Fox executives live, and whether they have a cat.

7) At network mixers, Fox can proudly proclaim that they are the only network on television with a space hooker.

6) Turns out that Buffy is based on Joss Whedon’s wife, who is a bona fide superhero, and she is more than willing to break kneecaps if her hubby’s show gets cancelled.

5) I am more than willing to break kneecaps if Joss’ show gets cancelled.

4) The media is supposed to be liberal. Fox is part of the media. Irana the amazing space hooker is bound to annoy the religious right. Where’s the downside?

3) Never anger a man who employs large numbers of highly trained martial arts experts.

2) Three words: Captain Tight Pants

1) If Fox cancels the show, their mid-season replacement will be “When SciFi Fans Attack”

Ooh! Ooh! Here's mine!

10. Wash and Zoe are just starting to get their much deserved together screen time.

9. If we don't see the pilot, I'll never get to hear "I need this man to rip all my cloths off."

8. Because I want to SEE all Wash's cloths ripped off... and Jayne's too for that matter!

7. I have a voodoo doll with Fox's name on it.

6. The longer the show goes on, the more of a chance there'll be that someone will recognize me when I dress up as Zoe next Halloween (figures, I choose the one of the crew I look LEAST like)

5. I have a very large mallet and I'm not afraid to use it!

4. If they cancel it, I'll NEVER be able to get the theme song out of my head!

3. The longer the show goes on, the more of a chance there'll be that someone will recognize my friend when she dresses up as Inara next Halloween (At least SHE chose someone she looks like)

2. I bite... hard.

1. I'm holding Wash hostage, and If they cancel it, I'll never give him back... I'll probobly rip off all his cloths either way though...

Bwhaha! *looks up* Ok, so many of those were simply focused on my desire to rip Wash's cloths off... hey, it's 1:00 AM! What more do you want from me at this hour?

There's not many great scifi shows on nowadays, where do people get their scifi fix on Fox anyway ?

I mean there's Stargate, Odyssey 5, Farscape (what's left anyway) and maybe even Enterprise. But they're all on different networks. So why are people not tuning in ?

Firefly deserves a chance, I mean okay Fox hasn't announced any cancellation, but what are the chances of Firefly surviving at Fox ? Very LOW INDEED.

You have forced me to break out into song:

Bunnie aren't just cute like everybody supposes
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need good eyesight for anyway?

I am soooooooo Sorry. One of my reasons that Fox must Keep Firefly was about made up languages. I am watching the ep again with captions and it says that they are speaking Chinese. I apologise for this ethnocentric, ignorant comment and I hope all that were offended will forgive me.

Because it is actually interesting. It has character development and non-archetypal characters. The use of another language besides English, even if the pronunciation needs a little work. Plus it has good-looking and natural-looking women.

Oh yeah, Red Dwarf didn't have space aliens.

Actually, that pilot that was never aired had a made-up language. Or rather dialect. Unless I misheard, both Mal and Book spoke a form of English with some simplified verb forms. Somebody told me it sounded sort of like rual southeast U.S., but to me it sounded vaguely Aussie. Not an accent, mind you, just a way of using certain words. Probably something Whedon invented.

What the pilot did not have was any of those bits of Mandarin. I'm guessing that Fox objected to the "bad English". Whedon didn't want everybody talking 20th Century U.S. English, so he made Mandarin everybody's second language. Probably the big delay in airing "Serenity" is reshooting the parts that contain this dialect.

JOSS, WHERE'S MY CHECK???!!!
