Fireflyfans

Is it just me, or is there a lot less "good" discussion on fireflyfans lately? It seems like it used to have more "meaty" posts, where people would discuss the episodes, characters, motivations, themes, etc. (In fact, I met rivendellrose through an insightful post she made regarding roles for women on Firefly). Lately it seems fireflyfans has been lacking that kind of dialog.

You think I could see 'said' post? I'm interested

I'll see what I can do to dig it up.

Actually, maybe I'll just ask Rivendellrose herself.

I think it's a cyclical thing - I've seen fandoms get more and less quiet in little spurts. If you're really worried, it might be worthwhile to come up with an interesting topic to discuss and post it. You always come up with questions that get me thinking, at least. ;)

*nods* That does make sense. And I do have a few topic ideas to stimulate discussion. I will get to posting them (when I'm back from my out of town trip).

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have handy the link to that thread you started about the women on FF, do you? Razycrandomgirl is interested in seeing it.

I had something a while ago, maybe I can remember it...

I'll take a look! It'll give me something to do in the quiet moments at work for the next few days, if nothing else!

If you do find it, that'd be cool. Please let me know.

Since there's no new canon, a very rapidly dwindling number of new fans and a lot of stuff has already been discussed/thrashed to death, I think it's only to be expected that discussion has tailed off.

Although, I do think the attitude of some, willfully denying the plot developments of the BDM didn't help. Maybe I'll start a discussion on the plot points that we'd like wrapped up in Series II/Movie the Sequel, like for me the big one - what is going on with Blue Sun?.... (damn, I'll have to watch the BDM again. Shame.)

That would be a good discussion topic.

True, about there being no new canon and fewer new fans. Though I gotta say, my last fandom was Jem, a show that lasted for 3 seasons in the 80's. The last new ep was aired in 1988 and since then there has been nothing -- no movies, comics, books nothing. And yet it does still have a small fandom, 20 years later.

Well, I guess that says it all. Sooner or later the FF fans may also dwindle to that number.
