Why not? Technically it's very easy to put in such things.

This is true. There's an old British comedy called the Young Ones which is full of half second pictures of people surfing and things. Subliminal.

I would say that firefly is so insanely popular because joss is an amazing writer as evidenced by his other fantastic shows.

Who knows? Wouldn't be too surprised. If it was would you still watch it? Of course! Ahem anyways, I think Joss' writing, particularly the dialogue was something that Joss has mastered. Lucas could never get that right and look at Star Wars. Joss also made the characters relateable. Since there are 9 main ones, anyone should be able to relate to at least one of them. Lastly, I think to have the freedom that Mal and crew does, to go about life their own way is something everyone desires so it's another reason to love it.

If he did, they didn't work so well on the Fox executives.

I dunno - maybe this idea has more merit than we think. Am I the only one who's gotten inexplicably violent and gone Maidenhead when someone stops me from watching the DVDs? Or maybe the day will come when we'll be triggered and go Miranda on the Fox Exec's asses . . .

And Jade - you had me on the floor

The answer is no.

At the risk of taking this issue too seriously, I'd really like to see an end to this particular urban myth.

Subliminal advertising does not work.

This has been confirmed by numerous scientific studies. If you can't perceive an image consciously, it has no subconscious effect either.

Here's Snopes' debunking of the original myth, from which all others (including this one) derive:

Sorry to be such a poop, but really, isn't it better to know that you can't be so easily manipulated?

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Maybe doncoat’s one of them trying to cover it up and I really like the idea or joss being blue sun and being triggered and all but you never know

If at any time this page becomes blocked or doesn’t open properly it must be the truth
