Editorial:
Sometimes you just have to take a minute to evaluate the mission.
There are plenty of people out there in cyberspace who will tell you
that it is over. They will try to persuade you that the mission was
over when "Not Fade Away" was broadcast.
It's not true. The mission doesn't end until our favorite characters
return. We want our Big Screen Angel movie. We were promised some
movies on the WB. All around the studios and back lots they are
singing the same old sad song: things change. Whatever spin they put
on their record, the facts don't change. We are still here. We aren't
going to go away. That's not changing.
We are still a forum for everyone in the Jossverse that wants more
Firefly/Angel/Buffy as part of our weekly TV diet. It's true that the
TV Powers That Be would like to ignore us; that they'd like to brush
us under the rug. Why? It's because we annoy them. We keep them from
moving blissfully on. We remind them that our power to tune in or out
isn't a foregone conclusion. It's our power and they have to coax us
to participate.
When we band together and write letters or send postcards, call or
e-mail we exercise that choice. We tell them they are failing us. We
remind them that they went back on promises to us and worst of all, we
remind them that they can't succeed with out us.
Some of them are holding out, relying on immature audience gags and
kneejerk, train wreck fascination to keep us coming back for more. Our
campaigns remind them that their audience is growing up, maturing and
becoming increasingly demanding.
Come back to the site. Bring a friend. Read the transcripts of the
Amber Benson/Christopher Golden and Camden Toy chats. Check out the
news of your favorite actors and actresses and their present roles,
all in one place. Learn about books and products, but most of all,
look at the campaigns. Decide, do you want to do more than complain?
Do you want to be a force for good in TV programing?
We aren't going away until we get what we want.

done to death in unusual ways, the victims of this prank postualte
