A eulogy

Sadly, we barely knew you in the brief time you were with us but the little we did get to know of you was good.

RIP Drive!

Only those asshats called FOX could manage to cancel a series twice in the space of six episodes. ASSHATS! Once more, with feeling - ASSHATS!

I'm taking two things away from my experience with FOX's treatment of Drive. Memories of an excellent show that should have been allowed to build an audience, and the great people I made friends with here on LJ about it - like you. We're going to try to keep it going at my [livejournal.com profile] virtualdrive for as long as we can. We had a bit of a dry spell while we were waiting for the last two to air, but now we're just going to keep going on our version of the race.

I will never watch FOX again.

I have met almost all of my LJ friends through various fan LJ's - Buffy, Dexter, Drive, Torchwood - many of whom have expressed the same enthusiasm as I have for doomed shows.

Maybe I should thank FOX for-

Sorry, have to cauterize my eyeballs for even seeing such a sentiment!

Sadly, I can't even threaten not to watch FOX - all I can do in Australia is watch from the sidelines!

ASSHATS!

No matter which way you say it, there is a kind of synergy between the two

FOX - ASSHATS - FOX - ASSHATS - FOX - ASSHATS - FOX - ASSHATS - ........

There's a kind of rhythm there that just works!

They seriously killed it?! T_T

Now this makes me really sad. I really, really want to see the two last eps but they're nowhere to be found yet.

Ah, just saw it hadn't been aired yet.

Still, I want them!

I don't think we'll see those last 2 eps now - not unless Tim Minear can make them available some how through FOX.

I keep hearing they'll air on the 14th and now I'm REALLY hopeing that's true.

Nah - they killed that too - hence the second wave of frustration. FOX have pulled all mention of those final 2 epsiodes from their site and all their schedules.

Seriously?! WTF! DX
