in which there is strong language and general bitchiness

[truepenny]

Why I am pissed off:
1. FOX cancelled Firefly.
2. FOX cancelled Firefly because of bad ratings subsequent to the first aired episode, "The Train Job."
3. FOX refused to air the original pilot as the first episode for reasons which now escape me, but which had to do with it being boring and incomprehensible.
4. Having just watched the pilot, I can testify that it is neither of those things. It is purely fucking amazing and I love the hell out of it.
5. Something happened to our local feed, so we missed about thirty minutes (from immediately after the teaser to the conversation around the table about the frontier planets).
6. I love the pilot anyway, and FOX is cancelling Firefly.

That bit in Fellowship of the Ring, where the Balrog rolls down and says to Gandalf, in Balrog, something that clearly translates as, "Hi, sunshine, you're lunch." That's the noise I want to make, only I'm not a balrog and I can't.

Fuck.

Ouch. Do you need a copy of the ep? (I have two VCRs and buy blank tapes in bulk, so I'm, like, the neighborhood tape dealer. *g*)

Thank you (and there isn't an emoticon for gratitude, but I'd stick one here if there were), but I think Here's Luck has that angle covered. For she is the Empress of All Media. Ave.
