Time for some Thrillin' Heroics!

I sent three e-mails, using three different addresses!

Sent my email to Sci Fi earlier this morning asking them not to back out on running the full marathon. Thanks for the link TDB.

I'll be tuning in to watch.

Just thought this would be a good time to list my email to SciFi.

Greetings,

I would like to take a moment of my time to thank you early for scheduling a Firefly marathon on Feb. 18th. I have been a great fan of the show, and even though I own the DVD's containing the episodes and the movie Serenity, I would love to take a chance and watch your wonderful programming. I believe that the community for the fans of Firefly would greatly increase your ratings, and it would be best to appease not only me, but them as well. I feel you're well on your way.

One word of concern from me, however, is that last time a marathon like this was scheduled, it was interupted. This has displeased a great number of people, and as such, started a small campaign against your advertisers and your station. Obviously this is a lost cause when you lose viewers. I, among many of us, would greatly appreciate it if you keep the schedule currently in place. We would absolutely love you, I'm sure, if you expanded it, however I will not press that matter.

With all my respect,

Kevin Dethlefs-Moreno

P.S. I really wish all of you a Happy New Year.

Feedback welcome, especially for those that might use mine as a template. Please do change it, it shows the station you care.

I wrote TD and the folks over at the NN/KNTR board pledged to, so I'll follow up about it over there today. :-)

Great idea and I'll be watching the marathon that day of course!

Thanks for all you do. :-)

You got that right, TD. It doesn't make sense, but here's what they have listed for February 18.

Serenity (Parts 1 & 2)
The Train Job
Bushwhacked
Out of Gas
Ariel
War Stories
Trash
The Message
Heart of Gold
Objects in Space

In my opinion, it makes no sense to run Trash if you don't run Our Mrs. Reynolds first. If I was making the decisions I would have done the smart thing and begin with Shindig this time and then run through the rest of the eps in their proper order. Or if it was felt it was necessary to run the pilot again, then skip The Train Job, Bushwhacked, The Message and Heart of Gold. Also, any Firefly marathon that does not include Jaynestown is bordering on criminal activity if you ask me.
