Hey, guys.

First off, wanted to say out loud to all what a brill ad that was in Variety. We were all impressed and moved. Not only was it dang nice, the doing of the thing, but it was really classy and smart.

Okay. Sigh.

We did get word tonight, Fox won't be ordering any new eps. That translates to "cancelled." We will finish shooting the ep now in production (I'm directing, in fact Joss came down to the set to break the bad news to cast and crew -- we wrapped early, but are back at it in the am), we'll finish post on all eps, and Fox says they're going to somehow air all eps. One expects with giant banner ads over them for Meet My Rich Phoney Sex Date or whatever unreality series they've got up their. Er. Sleeves."

:(

If that isn't the ultimate "Up yours" from the network I don't know what is. They cancel them at the end of the night inbetween episodes? I'm personally writing down the names of all the Fox executives so I know who to screw over if I'm ever in a position of power (I'm going into business so you never know). They preempt it, fail to promote it, then order 2 episodes only to put it on hiatus while its under preemption? What the hell people?
