(r)evolution of television and technology.
- Aug. 16th, 2007 at 1:05 PM
All of which leads to an enticing possibility: Let’s say that Joss Whedon, creator of Firefly, wanted to bring the series back to air. (Though “back to air” is a TV phrase now as anachronistically quaint as “switching the dial.”) Let’s say he found a million Firefly fans online—and, trust me, they’re not hiding—who were willing to pay, say, $39.99 each for a sixteen-episode season of Firefly. (Not an unreasonable price, given how many people pay about that amount for full seasons on DVD.) Suddenly, Joss Whedon’s got roughly $40 million to play with—and he doesn’t need a network. Or a time slot. Or advertisers. He can beam the damn shows right to your computer if he wants to.
ETA: Slashdot release a comprehensive article on Livejournal's Newest Failure and PR Nightmare. It is nice to have someone else track the whole fiasco.

you don't know who i am, but i found you by tracing pretty Doctor Who icons all over LJ (as i'm prone to do, haha) and i led myself to your journal. i've been reading what you've been saying about Doctor Who, and i realized that i agree with just about everything!
and since i figure you can never have too many Who-watchers on your list, may i add you?
Definitely, DW needs more love - it's one of the best example of television ever, and to share it with others is just awesome!
Friend away! I have no problems with it.
