got my EW this month...your letter is in fact in there (and the only one)
funny thing though...your first line makes it seem like the rest of us AREN'T happy that Fox and Whedon have parted company...
you should have said "not unlike" instead of "unlike"

hope the point gets across though

good job

Very fine letter, and very fine of EW to publish it, Annik... but I would like to point out that Fox never scattered "Firefly" over their schedule. It aired consistently on Friday nights... when no one is watching TV.

Not that I'm defending Fox, just... throwin' it out there.

Really? Actually, I don't really get Fox directly ... just lots of their stuff replayed on a local network (Canada). And *here*, it was all over the place: Tuesdays, Fridays, Wednesdays. I don't think it ever played on a weekend, but who knows? Oh well ... I guess that's just a lesson that I can't be perfect after all.

Cheers,
Annik

I wrote my letter after a bunch of folks here (on another thread) started a campaign to EW, and it seemed to me that most people were quite ticked at Fox getting rid of the show (as was I). So, trying to find the 'bright side' of the loss of our show allowed me to write the letter with a bit of conflict in it ... which often seems to attract TPTB in editorial rooms. Go figure!

Cheers,

I found out the other day that the lead singer for Megadeth is David Mustaine. I've heard of the group but I've never listen to any of their music. I knew David back when he was a little gap toothed blond haired kid that would follow his sister around. I use to run around with his older sister Debbie back when we were teenagers.

Damn....it was a long time ago.

I read it in the magazine in my school library today! I believe it's the June 11th issue, on the mailpage under the heading "Firefly Fighter" Great job! Along with the article in the last one, Firefly is getting movie publicity in EW already!
