>And didn't 'John from Cincinnati' inhale deeply? We were so torqued off about Deadwood ending. Firefly we kinda expected - having lived through Babylon 5 and the networks.
But Firefly had a killer cast who all landed on their feet and the brilliant Joss Whedon behind it. Summer Glau, Gina Torres, Baldwin, Nathan Fillion. Sci Fi and a Western. How can that not run for 10 years ( of course we have to make room on the airwaves for Howie Do it, Deal or no Deal and Fear Factor. ) Makes you question the premise behind popular democracy

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
