flotsam and jetsam

gwynNot that anyone really cares, but I have a new Mag 7 story up at my web site. mlynne made me say so here, because she insists this is what LJ is for (god, thumb screws hurt, ya know? And that boiling oil, jesus). It's the same old, same old, Chris and Vin in the west. http://www.drizzle.com/~gwyneth/stories/getmuch.html will get you to the story.
And speaking of westerns, Firefly has been nixed by UPN. God only knows where else they could go. I don't understand how such horrid syndicated shows as Adventure Inc. (yes, it has the always-luscious Michael Biehn in it, but it still sucks) and the rest of them can keep getting renewed, but Firefly can't find support.
I feel so downhearted (and suddenly mentally channelling Primitive Radio Gods' sample of B.B. King singing "I been downhearted, baby, ever since the day we met" for no apparent reason) about this and... well, everything. Buffy will likely be ending, and the great new shows I found this year have all gone away but one. This was one of the most exciting tv seasons I've had in years -- Robbery Homicide Division blew me away, Firefly was everything I could ever have hoped for, MDs was superslashy goodness to the max with two favorite actors, Birds of Prey was fun and stupid and wonderful, and now they're all gone. Except for Without a Trace, everything I was excited for is cancelled.
Hard to believe I'm an adult woman, because I want to cry over all this. The forced death march down memory lane of all the shows I've loved in recent years that have been cancelled stings -- everything from Brimstone to Due South (although at least that got two seasons of the original) to EZ Streets to obscure gems like Buddy Faro, to about 75 others.
At least Hallmark channel is showing Magnificent 7 again, even if they are cutting them quite dramatically.
