Quote: So anyway, at the risk of dredging up everyone's bitter resentment and hatred of those bastards we call FOX, I figured I'd check in with the people who know everything, to make sure I get the story right.
Quote: - Joss filmed Serenity. - FOX didn't like it. Were going to renew Dark Angel instead. - Joss wrote Train Job. - FOX green lights production, canned DA. - Aired Train Job first.
Quote: This is where I get fuzzy - Eps were aired out of order, and were taken off for sporting events. Was there warning that this was going to happen? IE - did they advertise that Firefly was going to be on and then show sport, or was the sport advertised?
Quote: Did the actual time slot ever change?
Quote: - Browncoats realise there are problems and launch campaigns. - Ratings aren't pleasing the FOX execs so they axe the show. - Serenity airs last. after the cancellation?
Quote: - Browncoats keep fighting. Joss keeps fighting to get Firefly on another station?
Quote:- DVD's released with phenomenal sales. (Does anyone know where I can get exact figures about the DVD sales?)
Quote: - Universal exec Mary Parent sees Firefly and agrees to the movie. Was there a delay between Parent wanting the movie and it all the fiddley bits sorted? Any resistance from Universal in letting Joss do everything his way? - Joss gets $50 million to make his movie with. - Browncoats are happy again.
Quote: Also was toying with the idea of showing them a snippet of something. Anyone recommend 'the' scene that sold them on Firefly? Or the scene that best sums up the show?

Could you please just make it stranger? Stranger. Odder. Could be weirder. More bizarre. How about uncanny?

Quote:Originally posted by VeraCobb: Then all of a sudden, it hit me. Firefly. I know that's a loose interpretation of the word 'publication' but I am resolved. Besides, Joss's pains with Firefly are far more relevant to today's world than Austen's.

Quote: Forgot something. The Attacks on 9/11 play into this as well. Sometimes there are advantages to having a husband that is a Battlestar Galactica fan. 9/11 affected most tv studios. Many put productions, especially new ones, on hold. Battlestar Galactica was one show effected by this. This put them behind schedule, which added to the reason Fox shelved them. There was no way they would be ready by the time the writers were necessary for X-2. If you were Fox, would you put your money on a major blockbuster movie franchise that already had proved it would make money or a new iffy tv series? This all afffected poor Battlestar Galactica, Firefly and Buffy negatively.
