So EW has a poll going and it's Cameron vs. The "Sparkly" vampire... and she's losing badly at the moment...

Think we can do something about that?

Do I think Firefly fans can put a dent in Twilight fans numbers? Helllllllllllllllllllll no!

They will beat us silly any day of the week.

You see their franchise is...what's the word? Oh yeah popular.

So you're siding with the pansy vampires, that it?



Well just remember this, Summer doesn't lose, she loses... you lost it for her...

I'm siding with reality. Cameron loses.

Cameron was a terrible character anyway. Even Arnold's terminator in T2 had more personality in a much shorter amount of screen time.

You sir are clearly bereft of taste... and reality isn't as 'real' as ya think... it like most things is subjective to individual interpretation.

Vote, or don't... your call, but bother me no more troll... I await the the posting of true browncoats.

Besides, it's a hotness competition. . . between one girl and one guy-shaped thing.

At the very least, we should be able to swing a 50/50 tie.

I think this poll has less to do with who's sexier, and more to do with the percentage of women voting, because no guy would ever vote for Edward.

And it doesn't get any sexier than Summer Glau.

The Browncoats do have a reputation for being fanatical, but I would not want to get in the way of the Twilighters. They'll mow you down with more force than the Alliance wielded at Serenity Valley.

We can stand to lose one poll, we've won so many others.

there are probably more twilight fans then there are browncoats. I could care less though in a year twilight will be old news and will all still be here. So let them win something for there horrible vampire crap.

personally i would say that i was a little disappointed in season 2. Especially towards the ending when Cameron was less and less there and the episodes were more about Sarah.

It didn't get good until season 2! And it was called "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," so I kind of expected it to be more about Sarah than Cameron. And when it got the last few episodes, when everything finally came together and all the seemingly random storylines paid off, I was hooked.

Then they killed it. Freakin' Fox...

Actually I didn't vote for either but I saw inevitable crushing defeat and knew better than to volunteer.

I don't know what a yellowback is, but probably that one. I wouldn't join the winning side if I disagree with them, but I'm also not going to fight a losing battle even if I believe in the cause.

If there's a chance of victory then I'll think about joining the side I agree with the most.

Also if things start to swing to the other side I can be a turncoat.

I just went to the link and the poll is closed.
Gorram it!, I think we could have........ahhhhh, who we kidding.

This Twilight thing even has adults, yes, grown people reading the books and watching the movies (my 2 nieces are 27 and 30 and are devout fans).
And yes, I tried getting them to even peek at Firefly/Serenity.

They were like: "meh.....so, did you hear about Breaking Dawn?...."

We're talking about a billion dollar franchise versus our piddily little ship.......oh, I get it! They ain't gonna see this coming!

Besides, we all know that our Sexy Beast beats theirs hands down. Summer we love you!

Alright, we have a chance for revenge... though it doesn't include any of our big damn heroes, I suggest we all vote for Dameon. Right now it's 50/50 and if we push the browncoat numbers into it (along with those who support the The Vampire Diaries who seem to be bringing it...) we can at least keep the punk that beat Summer from winning the whole thing.

All it takes to do something to beat that punk is a simple, anonymous mouse click. I'm not asking you to engage the twilight fans in hand to hand or anything like that so you yellowbacks that wouldn't vote for Summer don't have to worry... no one will know you did it.

I ask you, are you going to let this joker that beat one of ours to win EVERYTHING?

This is why we lost, you know. Superior numbers. [/Mal]

You ask me, Cameron lost chiefly because the vast majority of the squeechy 13-to-14-year-old female audience has yet to hear of Firefly or TSCC. Mayhaps we should get to work on that before she and/or he comes up again....

There have been a few of those 'Twi-hards' who have forsaken the Firefly fandom for their new fandom. Not because of Firefly, per se, but because of the apparent rivalry between Twilight and Buffy. Apparently anyone who likes Whedon likes Buffy, and anyone who likes Buffy is a 'girl-power' snob who hates Twilight because no girls beat up vampires. I've seen some quite defensive bitterness pop up at the mere mention of Buffy, and one former member of this site gave a rant about how close-minded Firefly fans were and how she just hated us all now. So best of luck with that.
I voted twice in both polls, btw. Cullen is still losing this one, but only by half a percent.


Facts are stubborn things.

Hmm... point there, bah, the hell with them, we don't need em anyway!

I won't even get into all the reasons I hate Twilight.

And as long as he Cullen loses I don't give a damn as to how much he lost by, lost is lost.

Hmmm I wonder why they stay away? Heck it was even mentioned how a long time site member got scared off by all the hate. Hate isn't exactly a great thing to be showing off in any situation really. Maybe we should just bite our collective tongues and let them enjoy their series.

I guess we're both good at being negative.

Nope I've never read any of the twilight books or seen any of the movies. I see no reason to hate on them. Especially if we are trying to build our fanbase. Attacking one of their stars out of spite probably doesn't help anything.

That might be negative, but the point still stands. We've already scared off a long time member being being negative about twilight. You seem to take issue with their fans. Your accusatory tone towards me shows that. I don't think running twilight fans off the site is the best strategy. You're welcome to keep doing it, but I don't think it helps our fanbase.

Of course it isn't! I am a proud girl-power snob. I was kind of pointing out how twisted a world-view can get over this... thing. This thing that I cannot see the appeal of and never have, this thing I cannot even name, really, but is apparently so important that it trumps everything else and it doesn't matter that the Aesop is Broken.
