Okay, I've been on the Colbert boards spreading the word of Firefly ever since the whole NASA mode naming thing. I've been getting a lot of flack from the people there because most of them only know Firefly as a show that was canceled because of low rating. The best way to fix this? Everyone jump on their boards and spread the word. I say we start here:

http://forum.colbertnation.com/tcr/board/message?board.id=TCR&message.
id=4743&jump=true#M4743

This was posted there:

"...a show that hasn't been on the air for 6 years because of poor ratings and a follow up film from 3.5 years ago..."

Anyone else with me?

Yeah, how dare they go on they're own board, we need to sort that out!

How would you feel if they came here and decided to educate us? You're advocating trolling their board.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Yeah I don't think this is such a good idea. They aren't even trashing the show from what you said. It is a show that was canceled for poor ratings.

Also I like the Colbert Report. He's done campaigns like this plenty of times. Can't get upset because this time it clashes with our goals.

Uh...don't you mean, "It is a show that was canceled for poor ratings, after FOX cruelly beat its trusting soul into submission and then defiled its half-dead corpse with a screwdriver."?

That's the version I heard.

But ayuh - Colbert's a good egg. I do find myself occasionally yelling "Shut up!" at the TV during some of his so-called interviews, but that's just me not getting properly into the spirit of the thing.

PPS - Brief nod to the Colbert Nation POV: How exciting is the name Serenity if you aren't a Browncoat? If you don't know the significance like we do, it's a pretty off-the-rack, standard-name-for-a-space-related-thingy type of name.

Stop throwing things! Like I said, Colbert POV.

It was like that when we got here!

No, I mean it's a show that was canceled for poor ratings. I think making excuses at this point makes us look crazy. We got a second shot with a movie and the result was relatively the same. I don't think Firefly would have nor will it reach popularity with a massive audience. It's not my goal to introduce Firefly to everyone. Just people that I think might enjoy it.

Fair enough, Zeek. I was just making a jokey little reference to the various allegations of FOX interfering with and/or mishandling the show. I don't think it's making excuses to acknowledge that this might have effected ratings, and maybe more so the chances of Firefly attracting and retaining viewers. Whether any of this would've made any difference, I have no idea. It is a quirky little show after all; like you say, it might never have reached any mass appeal.

But you're right - what happened, happened; what is, is. We are rich for having had her; poor for having lost her.

(emoticonic reference to the duality of man)

Somebody stop me.

[CHEtoungueEK] But I am a little troubled by your apparent position that we should not be off spreading Firefly to the fuzzy wuzzies. [/CHEtoungueEK]

I personally don't think NASA will have the balls to name it anything else but Colbert on the Colbert show. I vowed never to watch the Colbert Nation again so I will be missing NASA's announcement.

Colbert is fairly geeky, but his geek is out of date. His blind obedience to a liberal agenda of self destructive stupidity annoy me. But the overdose of ego is much more annoying. Still, he's occassionally funny, but watching an entire episode always makes me feel sick. Jon Stewart has been interesting though. I thought he'd be Obama's lapdog, but he's very much not. He has really taken him to task on bank bailouts, not getting out of the war, etc. If Colbert says anything against the admin. let me know, otherwise I find it hard to care.
