Can you imagine how many votes that would generate for both? Just enough to get us all even. I'd like to see the voting if we were all neck and neck. I'm talking ludicrous numbers here. Then it would really be a fair contest.

E.g., I'm not one of the Imponderablers, so I hardly even notice their threads. Maybe if we mixed things up on that front, we'd recruit some more. Also, adding a line to your signature about voting for Firefly might raise awareness.

Hmmm, perhaps "Xena kicks Firefly's tookus" or some such... That should generate a few hits

I posted on the Bonanza forum congratulating them on a good fight and mentioning that our little show has western elements and they might like it.

Perhaps someone could mention the block on the Whedon site?

I don't understand why Joss's fans aren't voting for all of his shows every time they vote. Buffy, at least, is a match for Firefly's excellence, even if Angel fell a little short IMHO. Can you imagine a Whedon/BSG/Lexx/ etc. alliance?

Big fall back; but FF and Bonanza are running solidly ahead of average, as is BsG.

FF gathered more votes an Xena today; a step in the right direction.

It's a great show about the love of a father and his three sons, their affection for each other and their determination to do what is right by all the different people they meet. Four admirable characters.

Well, that was a very short retirement We had 1518 votes yesterday and since many decided they wanted to try for the goal of 500,000, I'm baaaack!

I understand one of the fan posters over at the FF site flamed Xena and followers. Seems the only fans Xena has are connected to an underground Lesbian faction. The show really sucked and it was stupid, lame, absurd with bad acting, bad history, bad everything. He said it had to be on Lesbian web sites all over the world...not just Xena fandom. And to quote "I don't recall Xena generating any huge numbers in ratings when it was on TV, but over time the Gay coalition really held this show close to their bosom, especially that young stick-wielding blonde sidekick...if so, we are hopelessly outnumbered" . I think he is pretty funny, actually.

Hopefully that is only one opinion over there...not a nice thing to say about our show and our girls, the acting part that is.

Firefly is at 211,964 with 1681 votes turned in yesterday. We are still 56,746 votes ahead of them. I understand their goal is to become number one since we showed them up in the 2000 daily vote game, and they feel our votes are now going to drop since we no longer have a goal

So, all said and done, we will survive! A few people have given stats on how long it will take us to reach 500,000 and it is about 4 or 5 months. So, if you have nothing better to do...pop in a vote or two...or more.

Battle On for Xena, Lucy and Renee!!!

So, while I am glad Xena got to the TV-Vote Hall of Fame, I hope to see Firefly join us there soon and Bonanza after that....

Would this be the appropriate time to say, "I told you so?" Or might that be later?



Damn those trolls, damn them to Hades. They're giving the Xenites great propaganda.

I've said it before, I'll say it again; we need to work to our best and simply ignore what the Xenites might say of us. The only thing we can do that will affect their voting levels is to roll over and die. If we did, they might slow down their votes...until Bonanza or some some other series gets going.

Any of you who think Xena is going to roll over if we get close; and trust me, the Xena fans perceive us as close or they would not be "getting out the vote", they will fight to the end. Look at Bonanza... they did not roll over when we got close; they have an active fan base and pulled together. Did we scrape by, yes. Are Bonanza fans still pushing out near record numbers for the show? Yes. Do I expect them to drop back? Maybe... slowly or not.
Same with Xena,but multiply it times 2 or 3. They have a huge, dedicated fan base. -Someone- amongst them will always get inspired to keep the top spot. They will find a new goal, set it, pursue it vigorously. We can do no less.

They never seem to read the posts that congratulate them or show admiration for their accomplishment. Oh well. This is gonna be fun!! Time for some serious mobilization. We need to contact every Browncoat group in the world and get them on board and voting.Who can you contact?

Maylith is a fair and level-headed Xena fan, and I applaud her position and her words. I applaud her devotion to her voting efforts.

If the only thing that makes the Xenites vote is a post from someone that doesn't like Xena, well there are a lot. Some people will think that Xena sucks. Some people will be middle-of-the-road, some will love it. Not surprising that someone on this board doesn't like Xena, after all this isn't a Xena board.

My previous post about Bonanza was copied in full to the Bonanza board. I stand by those words, and my position about Bonanza, even if some BZ fans sling a little mud. I'm a Browncoat, I can take it.

I really doubt that this post will be copied to the email list that the Xenites see. After all, I'm saying something nice about a Xena fan. I'm sure that the words "Xena sucks" above will be twisted into a "every Firefly fan just said that Xena sucks" just to get Xenites angry. That's too bad. It's a disservice to the Xenites.

Meanwhile next time I catch a Xena rerun, I'll be stuck thinking about this behavior. Is Xena that thin skinned? I didn't think so.

come to think of it...that show REALLY SUCKED!!! It was stupid & lame & absurd...WHAT WAS THERE TO LIKE ABOUT IT? BAD ACTING, BAD HISTORY, BAD EVERYTHING?..YES, it MUST be on Lesbian web sites all over the world...not just Xena fandom.

If this is the case, maybe we should recommend that Xenites watch War Stories. All those scenes with Innara and the Counciler. That would get them voting for us...or at least they might be in their bunks.
