Greatest juxtaposition of headline and image yet. *slow clap*

But they've telegraphed his more violent tendencies (and Dexter's worry about them) in multiple episodes. And if that show does anything, it's telegraph plot lines and character direction with all the subtlety of a drum and bugle corps.

Furthermore, Firefly represents a true tragedy of network bungling and incompetence – a victim of a bunch of fat-cat TV execs who not only can’t appreciate the capital that they have in a series like Firefly but are completely unable to recognize those elements which make a memorable, watchable, fan-base generating…

What family reunions are you going to? :-O

Because addiction, or the genetic predisposition towards addiction, is a sloppy and purely speculative attempt on the part of writers as the end-all, be-all reasoning behind why serial killers do what they do. No one has EVER proven there exists a serial killing gene.

Except, as I recall, one was an infant and the odds of two people manifesting the same serial killer tendencies to the same trauma is more than a little specious. Three if you count Harrison. It gets more than a little threadbare as an explanation.

Any explanation has to be better than the Dexter explanation. Who knew that serial killing was so genetically dominant, shared by two brothers or possibly from father to son? :-\

I certainly won't lie and say I won't check it out.... but it's been steadily reaching Weekend At Bernie levels the past few years or so.

I see what you did there.

PASTY FACED UNDEAD COP: Sir, we're gonna have to ask you to come down with us to the station.

Don't forget "ELEVENTY!!1!1!" :)

I should hope so, since they're getting paid for it.

While I absolutely agree that the Firefly universe remains RIPE with other stories, I don't know that the perfect storm of actor availability, money, studio support (doesn't Fox still own the rights to the show and hasn't Joss stated they're not about to relinquish them to anyone right now?) or profit potential exists…

I adore Firefly. It will forever stand as one of the greatest missed opportunities in the history of television.

But this is predicated under the belief that Joss wants to. He's moved on. All of the cast members, writers, etc have moved on as well and certainly aren't getting any younger.

That's honestly one of the things I respect about Gonne. Agree or disagree, good or bad, he's more than willing to strap goggles to his face, delve into the damn things and examine them from a point of familiarity. That's what proper critique is about.

The gang needs to get into the old Harvard Science Building to turn on the electricity, so Walter can use a laser to cut his old Betamax camcorder out of amber, to watch a tape he left for himself explaining the plan that was erased from his brain last week.

Agreed. It's on par, to me, with idiotic relatives of mine that ask "Why is it when black people use the n-word, nobody is up in arms about it...but whenever I do it, everyone gets angry?" Which is usually best followed up with the question "Why is using that word/exercising that idea so damn important to you?"

Sure but The Lone Ranger is a classic pulp hero. A genre they've covered time and time again.

I'd go so far as to say the Lone Ranger falls under their pulp/superhero purview. Cullen Bohannon... not so much.
