Yeah...

So, I spent three days not on LJ at ALL because I started college this week, and this happens! I'm sure the multitude of people who have already posted about this have covered all of the things I'm feeling right now (with the possible exception of wanting to just... non-creepily cuddle David Hewlett because his dear twitter posts about loving his job make me so very sad in this context).

I... I wish they'd waited till after the break, or at least after the episode tomorrow. Five aired episodes is NOT enough, in my estimation, to determine whether or not a show is deserving of being renewed! To be completely honest, David's episodes strike me as some of the most popular throughout the demographics, and the fact that they didn't wait until an episode centered on him airs tells me there's not much we can do as fans to prevent this--not that we won't TRY, of course. It just seems like a decision that's less based on audience and more on other factors.

Oh, and I think the single-most pressing concern for all of us right now besides the immediate 'oh show' is losing friends from fandom. I don't plan on going anywhere.

*hugs*

definitely not going anywhere! i'm hoping that even with the show gone, the fandom will continue to thrive as it has.i mean, i am a bit shattered by the news because oh my show gives me so much glee and i love it to pieces, but i hope that at least some part of it will be around for a while to come.

i still dont understand the decision though, why would they do this esp since the ratings have been much better this season. and i'm sorry but who is writing the movie? mallozzi's eps are always the worst ones, could we not have someone who actually enjoys all the characters, like say marty g who has written some of my fav episodes of the series. or carl binder whose stories are always intricate and interesting? serisously?!

i worry that we are not going to get much more in terms of future movies, anyway, because honestly i think the Flan might find different things to do. he never seemed so much into it as everyone else... i really hate this, damn you scifi! D: D:
