Joss Whedon didn't drop Firefly. Fox cancelled the show.

[StarSlayer]

Josh Wheaton... Do you mean Joss Whedon?

If so you need to lay off the peyote friend.  Joss created Firefly, along with a plethora of great television, Fox cancelled Firefly because the ratings just never materialized.

Yea, that guy.. great show.. shame the show was dropped.. thanks

Chuck would totally own Leo... look guys.. I have a brand-spankin-new bat that I've been itchin to use on some Sy-Fy exec skulls..the quality of programming is complete ****E IMO, and really.. who wants to see a bunch of b-grade crap AND half-naked wrestlers?

seriously. Kick the crap outta Josh Wheaton (sp) so he can also see how big a mistake he's made by dropping Firefly...and then beat him again just on principal.

I wish they would pulled thier heads outta thier arses..


*looks at the bat... imagines nails...*

I like Joss Whedon's "Castle" but Firefly was a show killed long before it should have been.
I see Baldwin on "Chuck" episodes which is humorous.
But over all, Sci Fi shows seem to be less and less in favor of cheap reality nonsense.
Lets face it, Reality shows, suck. I never got interested because they are scripted unpalatable drama.
I can go to a local bar and find more interest watching their drama.

Joss Whedon isn't involved in Castle.

My personal favorite Joss whedon show was definitely babylon 5, but fringe is coming to be a pretty good

Look I see what you're trying to do but nobody is that dumb

Has anyway watched the V remake? It get cheesey in places, but it's very well written in others, good acting too. I'd go as far as saying it's a very decent stopgap for your sci-fi fix. Another program I'd recommend would be Outcasts. Not sure if BBC America shows it or not. It's kinda sh*t sometimes, but they did a bold move by killing off their biggest star in the first episode, none other than Jamie Bamber.

Course when tv gets real bad there's always Kenan and Kel on youtube...

Your faith in humanity comes as a somewhat naive but nonetheless welcome breath of fresh air.

My bad, brain fart I meant Nathan Fillion

[SpardaSon21]

Wasn't there an episode in Castle where Nathan Fillion's character dressed up as a space cowboy complete with brown duster?

[General Battuta]

Yes, it was awesome.

Yes.

[KewlToyZ]

There are 2 other references in the series this season. That guy is a good actor and that was a great character.

The series itself could be better though...

Has anyway watched the V remake?

Got to see the first few episodes, didn't like it. They could have written the aliens to be a lot more ambiguously evil. That would have been better. The series lost me in the exact moment when the queen ***** told the reporter not to ask her uncomfortable questions.... it's as if sci-fi has lost any respect for the intelligence of the viewer and has to feed him what is going on exactly every time in big red letters so the dumbest of people won't lose the story. Either that, or someone makes the opposite stunt of inventing a non-story filled with promises that it is a story, "you just wait and see.... in the next episode". Lost has lost me also in the very few opening episodes when I realised that the writers were just fooling around with the viewer.

No they weren't, almost everything in Lost got answered or paid off in some way. The problem was just that a lot of the big answers at the very end turned out to be ****ty.

It was a great show for, I'd say, 4 out of its 6 seasons (and not simply the first 4).

So thanks for actually agreeing with me while saying you don't. Of course they "answered" all the questions, but that wasn't the point of the series in the first place. The point of it was to put all the viewers asking questions. And for that you don't need writers writing answers, you just need them to invent mind raping nonsensical twists that come out of nowhere and then pretend they have an answer. Then at the end, they patch up a ridiculous answer just because people would freak out too much if they ended the show without providing said answers (which would be the only honest way to end the series).

I found it unbearable from the first episode.

That's not what happened at all. The answers they gave were clearly planned in advance and most of the twists ended up making perfect sense. It's just that the answers and the sense were ****ty.

The final 3 seasons were (with 1 exception) meticulously plotted and assembled, they just didn't go to the right place.
