May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Quote:Originally posted by HKCavalier: I have a couple things to add here. First of all, seems to me us fans arguing about where Joss should shop the show is pretty pointless. I figure he's at least as savvy about the different networks and their interest in sci-fi as any of us. We alone are not going to get Firefly picked up by anyone. We're here to give Joss whatever juice a small and dedicated fan base can muster. Also, TV networks are buying and selling art. Really, they really are. The fundamental reason anyone buys or passes on a work of art is simple: they like it, or they don't. Yes, they want to know that the art will sell well, but there is always risk and any network will take that risk for something they believe in. Firefly is not likely to be sold to a network as a guaranteed cash-cow. Firefly is going to be sold to a network because that network believes in Firefly. Our belief in Firefly, therefore, has some juice. We have no juice if it's a purely dollars and cents decission. It's just my opinion, o' course, but all this arguing about where to send the show and all this cynicism about what a bunch o' morons people are is getting to me. HKCavalier Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
