I just have to express my immense anger that they are bringing Futurama back for some straight to DVD movies, but they are not bring back Firefly... STILL! I mean, I expect it to come back sometime. Hasn't anybody talked to SciFi channel about this issue? They need something to replace Stargate and Battlestar, because they are both ending soon, what better than new episodes of Firefly?
And how come Jericho got to come back? Just because it's been over 5 years since Firefly first aired, that is no reason to continue holding it back. I have this immense fear they are going to do 'Firefly 2.0' like 'Startreck Next Generation', and it will suck, suck, suck!! Let's ignore the movie and bring back the TV show, start off where the last episode left off. Can't we do that? We can just show one of the characters waking up from a very bad dream - it worked for JR. It's not that I didn't like the movie, it's just that it destroyed the show - who can imagine a ship without the those characters?
That's my rant for today, enjoy!!

Posted by: bevy at August 5, 2007 09:14 AMActually it was Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), not JR. The only way I know this is because my family used to have board game night on Friday nights and Dallas was always on.
Posted by: jeff at August 6, 2007 06:07 AMi'm guessing that it costs about $2 for them to do an episode of Futurama... thusly the movie production would only be like a $10 investment... but i've never been good at math...
interesting tidbit for you though 10, and this'll prolly make your tummy turn: they're coming out with a new star trek (prolly to replace battlestar). it's gonna be the original cast and from what i've heard the jones that played mal might be casts as one james tiberius kirk
Posted by: ombudsman 4 life at August 7, 2007 09:59 AMThe issues with Firefly were those of licensing and budget. It took Futurama like four years before things were finally cleared for more episodes.
Posted by: babada at August 7, 2007 11:14 AMI am saying Futurama doesn't deserve more episodes, they should take all the money they would spend on Futurama and save it to spend on Firefly instead.
well Mal never reminded me of Kirk in the least. For one thing I'm pretty sure Mal would actually shoot you if you did something wrong. I did hear that they are casting the bad guy from Heroes (Sylar) as Spock.
I apologize for getting Ewing and JR mixed up, actually JR is the only character name I know from Dallas since I never watched it.
I haven't seen Eureka yet, but maybe that will be next show after the others end for good. But who knows...
Posted by: 10lees at August 7, 2007 02:39 PMSylar is so creepy that I don't think I will be able to see him as Spock. The Star Tribune's classifieds section ad on the main page of the STrib has a guy who looks a lot like Sylar, and I can't look at the classifieds because he creeps me out so much. He's just too good as a creepy, evil bad guy.
Posted by: Lo at August 7, 2007 02:48 PMHow about Sue Ellen and Miss ...?
Those are other names from Dallas - now I watched that - but can't remember anything much. Bobby did it - or was that JR?
