A Descent into Dullness

So here is the thing. Firefly is being reaired on Canada's equivalent to SyFy or something. And in an interview Nate Fillon said if he won the lottery he'd love to buy the rights himself and start the show again. And so now the diehard Firefly fans are trying to make that happen. Raise something like 300 million so that Fillon can buy the right to it. People are raising funds in various ways...

And that just hurts. I loved Firefly and Serenity. I one piles of tie-in licensed materials. But you know what? ITS A FUCKING TELEVISION SHOW. 300 million that will make a bunch of rich people get richer? Thats not fucking right. If there were a mass petition of letter campaign or whatever to try and rekindle interest in restarting the show that could be one thing. But this is just sad fan self-indulgence. And its even worse if it actually succeeds. The world is full of needy causes to actually help make things less shitty. And people want to raise this kind of money to bring back a TV show...

But all my friends already own this you say. Do they? Do they really? Or have they just been borrowing your copy for the last 3 months?

So over on the Kenzer boards is a thread/poll debating Which Firefly lady is the Hottest. The kind of pointless nerd debate that the internet was made for. And oddly most people seem to be in the Kaylee is teh Hottest camp. And after reading the various points, counterpoints and what not tells me most people fail to understand the POINT. Being the Hottest doesn't mean "This is the character I most want to nail". It means "This character is the one that best personifies grace, beauty and sex appeal all at once". And of the 4 female crew members thats Inara...

Zoe is all amazonian warrior-woman bad assisitude and pheromones. Kaylee is a delightful pixie-like dirty-minded scamp. River is all waif-like and lost girl (which happens to be one of my major buttons) plus crazy (which isn't one of mine, but definately applies to some of my friends). But Inara? Inara is just the Walking Sex. She not only is physically a knock-out, but she carries herself with the understanding that she is best-looking person in the room. Doesn't matter who else is actually there or not. Inara's entire attitude is I am a Goddess of Love and Beauty. If you worship me properly I may grant you my favor...

So teh Hotness...

The only debate that should be there is why no Saffron? Add Saffron into the poll and its a real race...

'Cause its spooky and sad...

Mostly put up for all my Lib. gun nut friends to yoink...

IDW comics is going to be doing a "Firefly" comic, which is supposed to bridge the gap between the last episode of the series and "Serenity". They're also doing some Slayerverse comics, which I guess means Dark Horse lost the franchise. Joss isn't writing, but he is supposedly approving stuff...
