This is one of the cases where I don't think winning is that important, but to have been nominated (and two episodes at that) is very significant. It means that Firefly has penetrated into the SF fandom arena and not just for followers of Joss Whedon.

The one and only time I attended a Worldcon was during the fourth year of Babylon 5's original run, and there were quite a few B5 viewing parties and other activities then. I am sure the same will be the case this year with Firefly.

I've voluteered to moderate or take part with any Firefly related discussions with the programming committee. Whether I'll get to do that is still to be seen, but I'm sure there will be something going on with Firefly fans... No one has suggested a shindig yet but if anyone wants to stop by the RISFC consuite you'll meet several whedonverse and Firefly fans.

"Serenity" and "Objects in Space" were nominated last year, with OiS not making it to the final ballot. The Buffy episode, "Conversations With Dead People" won that category.

Whoops, my bad, I don't always read through things before posting

My problem with Chosen was it felt like just another episode, rather than what it was, a big damn episode.

that's actually how i felt the first time i saw it, and when i watched it on my crappy tape. then i got a really high quality download from my sister and cried through the whole thing. it was amazing. it just feels so epic to me...willow turning white (sound like micheal jackson lol), buffy giving the amulet to spike, the scoobies walking down the hall and leaving one by one, and the big-ass battle with that awesome score...they all make me freak lol.

I'll get round to a rewatch one of these days, maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind.

YYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!

Oh, and can someone please tell me why Out of Gas wasn't nominated? LOL. Sorry, I'm not making fun of the people who didn't read the posts before posting, just couldn't resist.

You know what? It's times like these that make you realize men have nipples. The fact that TWO episodes of a show that never made it to the public screen are nominated for an award that makes the mightiest of sci-fi/fantasy creators bow down is just so... IN YOUR F'N FACE FOX!!! Ah yes. Nipples.

I'm not too worried about the split vote, 'cause lets face it, "The Message" is the obvious pick of the two. Whenever I first saw it on DVD my first thought was, "Oh my God. How could they have not aired this ep' on TV?" It seemed to have everything Fox would've wanted: action, drama, humor, romance, and no horses.

I agree with you on "Chosen". It wasn't as big as the WB's finale. Few Buffy episodes were. But, it did reach the public screen which could prove a ringer. Wait a minute, it was on UPN, what was I thinking? But, it was also on FX. OK, that's not much more, but it is more than Firefly had. I'm hoping that the same fans who would've seen "Chosen" are the same fans who went out and bought the Firefly DVD's and their taste buds are all in working order.

I really can't remember if the Smallville episode in question is the one with Christopher Reeve or not. If it is, than we could possibly have a nostalgia/pity loss there. That and it was a very cool episode. But, my loyalties lie with "The Message" and that may leave me a bit biast (did I spell that right?)

As far as an acceptance speech even being considered for such an award is ludicrous. I didn't see it, but I'm willing to bet a large sum of money that it can't be THAT damn good. Even if it is LOTR. Of course, I've watched Firefly a lot more than LOTR anyway. Please don't flame me for that last sentence.

Oh yeah. And just one more time, FOX!!
Mmm. Nipples.

Then again, I'll bet Firefly will have another opportunity with the BDM, and wouldn't it just be sweet to ace the Hugo from Episode 3.

"Wacky fun..."

Actually given the rather lackluster support for the past two star wars movies I don't think Serenity beating out Episode 3 would be that big of a deal. The real competition for Serenity is going to be King Kong I mean it's Peter Jackson other than that I don't know of any big science fiction and fantasy movies co out in 2005 (Is a harry potter movie coming out in 2005? That certainly has a chance of winning). Although it's still too early to tell.

Not so much

The plus is the general public don't vote for Hugos, just those attending the covention where the awards are given out - means its not simply a popularity contest.
