Shiny! Dong-mah?

To J. M. Pescado:
In your Changelog entry for version 2.0 of the Sleep Controller Clock by Fishman Weapons Systems, you've chosen to use the word "shiny" not once but twice.
I could be way off here, but by chance was this choice of words inspired by a cancelled television show (Fox) called Firefly?
If so, then Shiny!
If not, then I submit my lips for ripping and subsequent burnination, but you can't take the sky from me.

I don't even know what you're talking about. I don't watch TV. The TV gave up the ghost awhile ago, having blown a vacuum tube, and I haven't bothered to fix it. No, I'm afraid "Shiny!" is simply the generic expression of, well, shininess. You know, like the "Ooh! Shiny!" of an easily distracted ADHD child.

Hehe. It was a long shot, but since Firefly ranks highly on the scale of not insulting the viewer's intelligence, I just figured there might be a better chance of Pescado having seen it than just about any other sci-fi show I can think of at the moment.
You may have noticed that the Sci-Fi Channel has picked up the original incomplete first season of Firefly for rebroadcast. They seem to have timed it to finish at just about the time of the theatrical release of the resultant feature film, Serenity. Perhaps they will put some money into Joss Whedon's effort to revive the television program and produce more episodes. (??) As much as I look forward to perhaps another 2-2.5 hours of Firefly in Serenity, what I really hope for is to see many more hours in the form of more seasons of the series.
If Pescado gets around to fixing his tube, he should know that in Alliance-controlled space, TV watches YOU!

I did not know that Firefly was previously boradcast somewhere else. I did not actually watch it, mind you, because Stargate is much better.
Thankfully, though, my TV tubes are a-OK. I keep spares in the basement in case any of them decide to crap out during a pivotal moment.
