Quote:Originally posted by embers: oh no, no... it is NEVER bad for Browncoats for Joss to be seen as successful and making money for other people... Universal will get jealous: "why is he making money for Fox, can't we think of another project he could do for us?? Oh, right..."
Quote: Originally posted by Embers: jeez I get the feeling that some of you would rather see Joss unemployed forever rather than gamble on Fox... and let's face it: Fox are the only ones signing our people, and gambling their money. I agree they have canceled things too quickly, which I'm sure is why Joss required a commitment of a minimum of 7 shows: so he could at least get a story arc told. But if you can't get it on the air in the first place then you can't tell any stories at all! Personally I loved reading how it all came about.... First of all that is quite a vote of confidence from Fox that Eliza Dushku was being offered the chance to be co-Producer (personally I think she wanted to avoid being stuck in something boring and repetitive like Tru Calling, where her character had no growth...and just did the same exact thing in every show...) then getting this chance to come up with her own 'idea' she asks Joss to lunch so she can be sure to get good ideas (hey, that is what I would do if I could!) as well as names of people who would be capable of writing and running the show so the good ideas would work.... And Joss being so creative and wacky not only comes up with something that allows her to be a completely different person in every episode, but ALSO has this over riding story arc about her slowly discovering her own true self over time (and personally I think that that is genius: kind of about how most women spend their lives fulfilling other people's expectations, but hopefully do learn who they are and start fulfilling their own dreams).... I see this idea of an object of fantasy becoming self aware as being chock full of metaphorical goodness, and just the kind of thing Joss & Tim will LOVE doing! Anyway Joss also agrees to be exec producer IF IF IF Fox agrees to guarantee a minimum of 7 episodes so that he'll have time to get a story out before it is canceled.... and then he gets Tim Minear to sign on so that he, Joss, will still have the time and energy to do ' Goners' if it ever gets off the ground. genius. And it looks like Eliza is one smart cookie! I have to admire her for putting together a show that will show-case her talents... and let her work w/amazing people like Joss & Tim! She was really smart to hit on Joss after his multi-scripts written for Wonder Woman had fallen on deaf ears, making it seem to him that movie making was actually more frustrating than television.... Why should be hesitate to be excited about this?!

Quote:Echo (Eliza Dushku) a young woman who is literally everybody's fantasy. She is one of a group of men and women who can be imprinted with personality packages, including memories, skills, language—even muscle memory—for different assignments. The assignments can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, uplifting, sexual and/or very illegal. When not imprinted with a personality package, Echo and the others are basically mind-wiped, living like children in a futuristic dorm/lab dubbed the Dollhouse, with no memory of their assignments—or of much else. The show revolves around the childlike Echo's burgeoning self-awareness, and her desire to know who she was before, a desire that begins to seep into her various imprinted personalities and puts her in danger both in the field and in the closely monitored confines of the Dollhouse.

Go ahead and do other things to keep the old brainpan from collecting cobwebs just don’t forget your old cast and crew that still bring so much excitement to the cons on behave of your FF creation. Believe it or not you have a very big group of loyal believers and followers don’t be the kinda person that cops out when the going gets ridiculously hard. It’s been hard for all of us.

Quote:Originally posted by mycrew: Does "Keep watching the skies" mean anything to anyone? Am I being hopeful about its possible meaning, possibly meaning a ship that flies in the sky would be visible if we look out for it? Or is this just a phrase Joss uses, that has no real meaning, like "see ya later alligator". Am I being hopelessly optimistic, looking for secret hidden messages?

Quote:Originally posted by pizmobeach: At the end of the original The Thing, one of the characters (a journalist) calls in his story to his publisher about the alien, life and death struggle that just happened, and at the end he warns ominously, "Keep watching the skies..." It kind of got to be a scifi slogan for a while. That's where it comes from... what he meant by that... dunno.

But what about his comment about Eliza looking shiny... and then waking up from his little firefly dream? I never met the man and wasn't really a fan of his before firefly but I gotta say... he doesn't seem like he's an idiot.
Quote: I remember I was having lunch with Eliza, and thinking she was shiny, so shiny... and then I woke up here. Weird.

Good news indeed. So... the questions... If they start [working on the show]in Feb. Will this be a spring/mid season replacement? Please FOX don't start them in the summer. That never works. I'd really rather wait until next September than have it start in the summer. A man who walks the Earth
