Guess they did stop the signal... I agree the movie was hastily-made in an attempt to be all things to all people, hardcore fans, "normal" fans, newbies dragged in by fans, etc and failed to please most everyone. I can understand Joss' desire to give it a proper ending and burial, so the effort was appreciated. But it was never up to the standard of the series.</p> <p>And Steph, you'll always be Steog to us! ;)</p> LOL Ok Cindylover.

And Steph, you’ll always be Steog to us! ;)

The residual resentment, PLUS the annoying behaviour of "browncoats" when the movie came out (e.g. hardcore fans' refusal to accept it was preaching to the converted at the box office), means this is one bridge I'm never going to be able to cross. You can't stop the signal my ass...</p> Sorry, JoBaby, but no.

I watched Brick yesterday and loved it, and yes, I rented it because you recommmended it. Let us know your thoughts on the first two episodes of Firefly, and don't let your will to prove us wrong cloud your judgement.</p> Jay,

ok, i’m both… but I’m still “Heathers” cool…? I am… well actually when you think about it?.. those girls were really just kinda mean…

maybe I should just go to the mall… today.

I couldn't stand either of those shows at all but I am devoted to Mal & crew. On top of everything else wonderful about it, just check out the premium production values on this show.

I liked Dark Angel too and wondered what had happened to it. It had promise. Not the first time a network has done it, not the last. Anyone else remember a cool little show in the wake of X-Files and Millenium called... Strange Luck? (I think that was it.) DB Sweeney as a guy called Chance?

Because if you did, then OK, I guess I'll be obligated to give Firefly a chance. But only a two episode chance. Nathan Fillion better dance his lights out, so to speak.</p> Steog: Did you see Brick because I recommended it? Because if you did, then OK, I guess I’ll be obligated to give Firefly a chance.
