Oh don't get me started with Insurrection. The biggest plot hole that I have ever seen is in that movie. When the Enterprise entered the system they already were getting the special effect from the planet and they were not that close yet. (remember the comment about Riker's beard?) So if the effects extended into space why bother trying to move the Alien population? Just place a few space stations in orbit and you get all the good effect and you don't have to violate the Prime Directive.

You never know maybe they'll pick it up and make more episodes.
Frankly, I'd be surprised. My wife was a serious follower on Firefly's forum. It seems the set for Firefly was very expensive and was due to be dismantled by a particular date if Fox didn't change their mind. That date has come and gone and the contract option expired. So...it seems very unlikely.

Interesting, yes. Cool? Not exactly. Should they get rid of the character? NO!

I guess it's more semantics than anything.

Well, it helps when she's not being psychotic, unless that's what floats your boat . . . just lookout what kinda shirt you wear, i guess . . .

And yes she is cool! hrmph. People have no appreciation for psychotic, raving maniacs. It just isn't fair. We're people too, you know!!

one down (war stories), 11 to go . . . .

ShareReactor rocks! anyone here know whether its worth switching from eDonkey to eMule?

Joss failed to show up at the Angel "end of the season party". Instead he sent a video of himself (yada-yada-yada). In the video, he stated the reason he couldn't make it to the party was because he had just gotten word that a project of his had been relit (re-lit?)

Now...you know how Firefly-aholics can be (you should check thier forum sometime...but I leave that up to my wife). Anyway, people are buzzing (pardon the pun) around wanting to know if "relit" is a clue that means Firefly has been given new life. Get it? Firefly...relit...
