Ok, I'm kidding. I think this is about as good as we're gonna manage.

Well, heck. While it was a reasonable supposition that the poll would close May 2; it is obvious it did not. BBC site does not have a "uniform" policy regarding polls (at least, I couldn't find one). It may be they intend to leave this open forever, or might yet close it(but when is anybody's guess). In any event; this thread now has a misleading title. I see two courses of action; one, we merge this effort back into the TV_vote thread, eg:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=28464
which is where much "vote related" activites take place; or we open a new thread with a better title... thoughts? Other ideas?

Barely 2% behind. 32.06 to 34.32

In the scheme of internet polls, this is an important one for us - Serenity Now screenings in June, SE DVD in July, sequel contracts expire in September and probably a bunch of other stuff besides. All could benefit from this - ergo, see how the DVD sales peaked on the SFX poll news.

*Mainstream* publicity is gold for our little piece of the 'verse, & you can't get much more mainstream than the BBC. Heck, if we knock Star Wars off again, we might get on the BBC news, major newspapers, a few sound bytes on movie shows and such.

Then again, we might get nuthin' - in which case what do we lose ? Nuthin'

I'm going to keep voting as I wanna see what happens when we hit the front.

Yeah Leadb, I think a new thread would be appropriate. Perhaps "Serenity closing in on Star Wars in BBC poll - *xxx behind* VOTE NOW." Update the title daily. ??

How often can you vote on this ? I've been doing it before I close any browser window or when Flyvote pops up to remind me.

*************************
Browncoats, are you content to see Firefly in 2nd place or would you rather see it at #1. It won't happen unless you vote.
