Dusty Chalk Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm with Nate -- they killed it with the time slot, and I'll have to admit to not being as in tune with it this season as with last. Here's to hoping the rest of the season makes it to DVD/Blu-Ray, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to hoping the rest of the season makes it to DVD/Blu-Ray, at least. Some of what I'm reading is that FOX still plans to air all 13 from this season since they're pretty much done taping up to Ep11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Maybe Summer Glau's performance might change things. Maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I was surprised it made it got renewed for this season. Mostly it seems like shows I like get cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Maybe Summer Glau's performance might change things. Maybe not.Not likely -- 11 episodes already in the can, executives basing their decisions on that as well as trend extrapolated from extant numbers. It doesn't even have the following that Firefly did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pars Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 That sucks, but I had heard it was in trouble ratings-wise. Doesn't help to leave it in that time slot, now with a couple of lame-ass shows prefacing it, unlike last year with Terminator leading off. I don't think I ever watched Firefly, but noticed someone posted a link to BestBuy having the series DVD set for ungodly cheap... might just buy it.

elnero Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Firefly was a great show, I just recently watched it again with my wife who'd never seen it. On a side note, anyone else catch the Halloween episode of Castle where the intro has Nathan Fillion dressing up as his character on Firefly? That show is surprisingly good.

Dusty Chalk Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Firefly was a great show, I just recently watched it again with my wife who'd never seen it. On a side note, anyone else catch the Halloween episode of Castle where the intro has Nathan Fillion dressing up as his character on Firefly? That show is surprisingly good.I did, I could definitely watch that show. Very smartly written. Shoutouts to two previous Whedon shows, an indie band, the Harry Potter, Saw, and Underworld franchises, all in like the first three minutes. Plus, Nathan Fillion being terribly charismatic. Oh, and Firefly fucking rocked. Edited November 12, 2009 by Dusty Chalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Firefly was awesome. I thought Dollhouse was pretty bad, and I'm not surprised it got canned. I still watched it in hopes of it picking up, but it never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpelg Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I think that people had a difficult time seeing any redeeming qualities in the characters. The writers did demonstrate some consequences, but I think that the underlying idea of basically an expensive whorehouse is difficult to reconcile for most viewers, especially without the reasonable expectation of a money shot.

Dusty Chalk Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Which one, episode 8? I'll probably watch it in the morning on hulu. I should also point out that Summer Glau's character seemed to have some tube gear in that episode...and was that a turntable? I think the tube gear was Conrad-Johnson.

emelius Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 yes, episode 8, “A Love Supreme”...i'll see what i can find out about the gear, but it may be too late for her to ask anyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
