Pajiba

A gunslinger trapped between two worlds sounds suspiciously like...well, The Gunslinger.

Maybe Rosenbaum will become a character on the show and make me regret ever having watched the previous 8000 pages of episodes.

Cockbag.

/projecting my anger

At this point, I can not imagine why anyone would take a new show to Fox. Unless the whole thing is some sort of tax dodge.

Oh, just fuck it all.

Fox, if you did not give me my Jack Bauer fix, we would be done. DONE! Do you hear me?

We are NOT shiny!!!

Rosenbaum-
You know what would be really awesome now that vampires are hot with the teens is a show involving vampires set in a high school. People like strong female characters too, and I think the vampires-as-good-guys thing is getting a little tired, so you could make the protagonist a girl who hunts the vampires. Call it "Candy the Vampire Killer" or something. "Muffy the Vampire Murderer?" Whatever. Anyway, not sure who should play the lead. For some reason Sarah Michelle Gellar keeps popping into my head but she just seems too old. Find someone exactly like her.

Signed,
McG

This is worse than the centipede news.

And in an unrelated story, Joss Whedon and Nathon Fillion are debating about who is going to rip out Scott Rosenbaums heart, and who is going to crush his windpipe.

Ooh! Ooh! me! Me! Can it be me? Can I volunteer?

Fire up the MurderMoose, we's going to Amuricana!

Anyone know how to get in touch with River Tam? Just whisper "Miranda" and watch her RIPTEARSHREDKICKBEATDECAPITATE these jackass jerkwads.

how very sweet, since I had to quit drinking Fox is trying to give me a rage induced cirrhosis just to make me feel still part of my alcoholic gang!
dear dear Scott are you aware you do work with Adam Baldwin and that you keep him around guns???

OK, wait a minute, I think I've got it. This "new" show is sure to be canceled, because - well, that's destiny. So kill off Echo on Dollhouse; let Summer Glau take over the role of lead doll; steal Nathan Fillion from Castle (or cancel that hot mess); bring him into the Dollhouse and do a gunslinger episode. Finally, when Jack Bauer gets killed at the end of this season of 24, bring Katee Sackhoff into Dollhouse as a rogue doll.

Presto, Fox has one good show.

What are you all worried about? It'll only last three episodes before they yank it. It's in the contract. Right there, the standard Fox clause:

Should a show gain critical appeal for its concept or execution, Fox is obligated to immediate reschedule the time slot twice before terminating the show prior to airing the fourth (non-sequential) episode.

So it'll either suck goat balls, or get canceled.

It's a foolproof plan! There's no way this could fail! Everybody loves sci-fi Westerns! And Fox is the most supportive network in the world!

Oh... yeah. Never mind.

You know, I was gonna ask if anyone had noticed if BSlim had started bitching yet about the Trek logo up there. Dude, this thread is for bitching about the execs who are fucking over Firefly fans--and we're a hell of a lot more fanatical and dangerous than any of you Trekkies. Trekkers. Whatever.

Also, the levels of violence on display here are making me love you guys even more. Is that wrong?

Firefly quote that best sums up this whole stupid Rosenbaum idea: "Smells like crotch."

Hey Fox: dee-ou la ma low hai

(Chinese translation: fuck your mothers hole)

Uh... guys?

MurderTank's in the shop. I got sauced and let Wendel drive home. It's minimal damage, but there are a lot of cow parts/pieces that need to be removed from the grill...

Feel free to take the MurderCycle though - key's under the garden gnome by the tomato plants.

Sorry...

"This is worse than the centipede news." On some level, yes. I would love to see Rosenbaum and McG get the sewed-up-ass-to-mouth treatment. Bring that sumbitch full circle.

Because really.....

What the fuck Fox. Seriously. Who the hell is making these decisions.

See, Drake, that would totally turn me on.

I once rented something with Donald Sutherland in it, and the clerk remarked that the guy was a good enough actor but, and I quote, "he beget Keifer, and I cannot forgive him for that," then adding that Sutherland had also once treated "Joss" badly. At which point I completely devolved into a 16 year old girl and said, "OMG! What did he do to Joss? I can't believe you even know of him, I can't find anyone around here who does!" "Oh yeah, we all love Joss here--we went to the Serenity premiere together." "OMG! Will you guys be my friends?"

I literally said that. And I have no shame.

Well, now that Fox has had their practice fun with that half-baked crap cobbler of a Firefly show maybe they'll get the concept right. You know, add a few busty teen stars after they get too old for the Disney channel (15 years 22 weeks in case you're wondering) a bitchin' muscle car with accompanying corporate sponsorship and a bad ass theme song by one of today's hott supergroups all the kids scream for, like Nickleback or that Cobra Stapship bunch. Then they can..oh, wait hold on there's something coming down the street that's pretty loud...holy shit is that a tricycle covered in razorblades and flamethrowers? Oh crap!!! fasdlkjew........

You know what? This is what y'all get for giving Chuck far more love than it deserves.

Oh, that sounds nice DeadBessie, but this guy was rotund, around late 30's, and looked like he probably had his 20-sided dice in his pocket. And obnoxious.

To Whom it may concern (aka Fox and Scott Rosenbaum):
I have, in the 30 seconds since I learned about your "new" project, already been negatively affected by the prospect of such a show in three ways:
1. I am currently in the library trying to work, and, upon reading this post, I let out a loud, unintelligible noise of pure rage and despair, disrupting those around me.
2. I am now highly motivated to spend the rest of the day watching Firefly to overcome my sorrow, and therefore will now be unproductive for many hours when I need to be reading The Brothers Karamazov.
3. I have lost all my faith in humanity.
Kindly exile yourselves to Kamchatka.

No saddles! We roll hardcore! (Kelly please remember to bring the fleecy blankie. thanks).

Now wait just a minute, BierceAmbrose. Lurker I may be, but I've been lurking since before there were any in-jokes on Pajiba. So don't lump us lurkers in with the Noobs and Folks Who Don't... !

This is worse than the centipede news.

Is it bad that I laughed really hard at that? I hope not.

Fox - you are dead to me. But I'll still watch House because he's my boyfriend. Oh, and I am giving Glee a chance. But nothing else, you hear me? Unless I happen upon the Simpsons. I'll probably watch that. But that is it. Other than that, we're through.

Is it bad that I really want this show to be moderately good, very much a rip-off, and wildly successful, just so I can see how it enrages everyone? Because I do.

This news makes me almost glad that I can't access Pajiba at my new job.

At least my entire day wasn't soured.

I am so full of hate right now I can't even tell ya. Burning burning stomach-souring hate.

And in an unrelated story, Joss Whedon and Nathon Fillion are debating about who is going to rip out Scott Rosenbaums heart, and who is going to crush his windpipe.

let me do it...the asshole

Hmm...a guy I know is a major Whedonite. I should tell him this.
He may cry.
I may become aroused by his tears.

Fox might as well dig up the corpse of Firefly and shit in its mouth, while destroying the headstone.
