We hates Fox, we hates them forever
Continuing to watch Mer's "Firefly" DVDs, but am now incredibly sad. Of the three unaired episodes ("Trash", "Heart of Gold", and "The Message"), I'd read the scripts for "Trash" and "Heart of Gold". By now, I've seen "Trash" twice. I knew very little about "The Message", which I just watched during lunch. I'm sad, cause it was the last totally 'new' "Firefly" episode to me. I mean, yeah, I haven't seen "Heart of Gold" yet, but I know what it's all about. No big surprises. So I'm sad. (Plus I'm sad because, you know, sad episode. Made me bawl on par with a sad "Buffy" episode.)
"Firefly" is, without a doubt, the reason I no longer watch new TV shows, or really, much of anything aside from reruns--I think "South Park" is the only first-run show I still watch. "Firefly" broke my heart too much when it was cancelled. Watching it on DVD now is both helping and making it worse at the same time. I imagine Serenity, when it (pleasegod) comes out next year, will be much the same. Unless, you know, someone decides to pick it up as a series again. It could happen, right?
