LAMENT FOR JOSS

Sunday, February 19, 2006 5:20:55 AM

So, I really only heard of Firefly in 2005. I am a new fan. I am really, really envious of long term browncoats who got to ride the excitement wave.

Because this is depressing. I just read Joss's comments on the CW rumor, and although I didn't believe the rumor, his reply seemed to be snarky and bitter. Not the "We'll do whatever it takes to keep flying" Joss we once knew. At least, the one that gave such a passionate speech to spread the word about Serenity.

So, the little TV show that could became the big movie that didn't, and even though the movie made it's money back, and is a cult underground hit, we have nothing to hope for. No light at the end of the tunnel.

We are out of Gas.

Maybe Joss feels turned upon by his fans, that we somehow let him down by not getting enough people to see the Movie. Maybe he is tired of people criticizing his decision to axe Wash. (For the record, I was devestated to see him go, but I understood why he did it the minute I saw the darts hit Kaylee's Neck, the Bullit hit Simon's MANLY STOMACH, and when River got Reaved.)

Maybe he is just bummed that although his shows routinely deliver rabid fans, this one got axed.

I don't know what made him give up. But I distinctly feel that he has. Maybe he and the cast sat down together and were like "Ok, time to let go."

But I guess fighting lost causes against all sane odds was what made the show special.

I just keep waiting for a sly smile from Mal, like he knew he;d be back all along.

This site has become depressing. whine whine whine. That's me whining.

I came to firefly after hearing about how I would love it for two years. You know how people pressure you into something and it's never as good as they say? Finally, something that makes good on the promise of "You'll really like it."

I cruised through the episodes in a week, with my fiance, as we moved into our first home. We took time out of unpacking to see the movie. Twice.
