Granted. Firefly gets picked up on a guarenteed 10 year contract!
But then Joss gets attacked by a rabid X-men fan over rumors that he was going to stop writing Astonishing X-men.
So, the series continues, but without Joss writing. You're stuck with 10 seasons of sub-par writing that drags the show horribly into the gutter and trashes everything you loved about it. But hey, it's still on!
I wish for lots and lots of FDK!
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
