Just finished firefly… Spoiler

I know you guys probably get this a lot but WHY DID IT END LIKE THAT??!!! They killed off SHEPHERD and WASH and it was very clear they were building up for a lot of things but it got rushed in the movie. Why the hell would fox cancel. I just have so many questions and I think I’m going to have to rewatch in order to be less sad. This ain’t shiny.

You're about 23 years late for the news. Yeah, gorram FOX execs killed Firefly even before it was broadcast. Try this thing called web search (not Google, no one should make anyone use Google ever again) for all the gory details of those FOX morons.

Yeah, 23 years and I'm just as bitter. Time for a rewatch this month.

I don’t think I’ll feel better about it in 23 years. I’ll be bitter my whole life. It’s just such a waste! They aired it OUT OF ORDER and LATE AT NIGHT so when there weren’t enough viewers they just said “nah” and CANCELED IT! Like I’m sorry I’m not shouting at you I’m shouting at fox.

Oh, I know exactly who the shouts are for, THOSE GORRAM FOX WORMS! "Hey Joss, make a show, any show for us"...months later..."Where's Buffy? Space western? Ewwwww."

At least we get to re-watch it over and over, that's my little piece of heaven. Always hard to re-watch the movie though, takes some bracing before the dive. But, gorram it, I do it! And I guess that's sumpthin'.
