Ahh, the irony. Even if this is merely a coincidence, it's still amusing. And if it is indeed an intentional jab at FOX, then it's downright fucking hilarious. However, all giggling aside, I am going to be unbelievably pissed if Fringe is canceled. Seriously, I will cut a bitch. And by bitch, I mean that time-vampire of a cancerous, festering, open

'Firefly?' *snorts* I'm pretty sure that's a deliberate dig at Fox, but I'll also be baying for blood if Fringe gets cut short way before its time, too. I don't know what the fuck Fox are thinking! I'm hoping the lack of competition on Friday nights means the ratings will soar and convince them that Fringe is worth its weight in gold, but I'm not overly optimistic given Fox's notoriety for canning quality shows. Fringe is amazing on so many levels and it befuddles me that it's not getting more recognition. John Noble should have won every award under the sun by now, and Anna's really impressed me this season. The writing is out of this world, too... er, no pun intended. Sigh.

O HAI! God, it's been forever since we've shot the shit. What's new? How's everything?

On the one hand, I kind of hope it is a dig, because that's just awesome. But on the other hand, I hope it isn't because that means even the Fringe crew think Friday night is going to be their death knell.

Why does FOX continually do this to decent shows? IMO, it's because they feel the need to pander to fucking AI and to the brain-dead majority of the general public that don't have the IQ points to watch a show that requires actual thought. I can't help but wonder how much of the fuckery over at Bones for the last few seasons is also due to the network's meddling. It seems like things were going along just fine until FOX started taking an interest in promoting it heavily. The second that happened is when shit started getting weird.

Life's pretty good, thanks! I just jacked in my job after getting sick of the dodgy clients trying to play the system for all its worth & making fraudulent personal injury claims, but I've saved up enough to chill for a couple of months (read: go on a fandom binge) before deciding which career path I'm going to attempt next, so it's all good ;) I always said I was too ethical to be a lawyer, so maybe I'll knuckle down and get my PGCE so I can try teaching instead. I suspect I may not have the patience threshold for it... but still, something's gotta stick, right? :D I hope you're well? How's Robert doing? Has FW made any spectacular displays of douchery lately

I think you're too forthright to be a lawyer. Considering how outspoken you are when it comes to something as relatively mundane (well for normal people, not obsessive freaks like US obviously, lol) as fandom, I'm pretty sure your ability to bullshit and wheel and deal aren't anywhere near the levels needed to be a lawyer.

Remember when they decided to air the episodes out of order; so Charlie died and then was miraculously resurrected a couple of weeks later?

I had totally forgotten about that! God, they really are morons, aren't they? They aired Firefly all out of order too, iirc. I have no idea how much a of a difference that made because I still haven't gotten around to watching it, but I've heard it didn't help matters any.

ITA about Glee. It has its moments, but I'm not really absorbed anymore. I mostly half watch while I'm doing something else, just in case I miss a good song or a particularly obnoxious one-liner. The difference is, FOX is so enamored of Glee and its ability to

LOL! My mind says there's no way its not intentional. I don't even want to think about cancellation - it makes Baby Jesus cry.

And by bitch, I mean that time-vampire of a cancerous, festering, open wound otherwise known as American Idol.

Right there with you.

Here's hoping the show pulls an X-Files and kicks ass on Friday nights. *crosses fingers*

Fucking AI, it's like The Blob That Ate Primetime. We can only pray it bombs now that Cowell has left the building.
