You are the head of a major network: Firefly vs the new Battlestar Galactica

In the case above, can't vote. I think both Firefly and the new Galactica are utterly unwatchable garbage. Sorry. Cancel them both, let them be lost to history. Mister Whedon, you may join John Byrne and Denny O'Neill in the Closet Of Lost Trash.

Is Serenity even out yet?

There have been advance screenings for months now.

I'm doubtful that the movie will hold up as a feature film.

It does.

Oh, I know what I want from McDonald's. Fries and Whopper.

You mean a Big Mac? Or Burger King?

BK Whoppers and McD's Fries: the best combo.

I went for Battlestar Galactica, but it was a really tough choice. Cancelling Firefly was a crime against good TV.

However, if I have to choose one, then I'll take Galactica, simply because I like intricate, expanding plots, and am willing to make the investment in a good series that they require. That being the case, BSG just edges out Firefly.

BSG, hands down.

Firely was interesting at first, but the whole 'space western' concept wore thin after a few episodes—and the cutsie-pie dialogue was groan inducing.

I like BSG more than Firefly (but I favor both of them), so BSG it is. They are vastly different shows when I watch them.

I am hoping Firefly does extremely well as a movie so more can be made in the future. I think the format might work nicely for Firefly.

Battlestar. I tried really, really hard to get into Firefly when it first aired--I was really excited by all the commercials that were shown for it, but the show itself just left me with a resounding sense of "meh". I tried even more once it came out on DVD. I've been trying yet again since it's been on Sci Fi. That show has a way of making me wonder what's on QVC by the halfway point. It's the only Whedon thing that I just simply cannot get into.

Didn't even have to think about it: Firefly. I still watch BSG every week, but it doesn't even compare.

BSG, for pretty much the reason above. BSG just has more potential. Larger stage, larger cast, larger threat.

I got it! I'll buy the CBS Group that have UPN, take out all the black-oriented sitcoms (hey, you still have BET), and stick BSG and Firefly them there.

Just one step closer to ousting Rick Berman and become the head of Star Trek franchise. Commence evil laughter.
