It only comes once a year, but when it hits on a weekend, then it expands for a couple days of celebration. That’s right – it’s my birthday! Because I’m feeling generous, I thought I’d use my birthday wishes to help out others who love the same things I do.
So no counting my candles if you know what’s good for you! Here are my birthday wishes:
- Bring back Firefly.
- Bring back Chuck.
- Rewrite George R.R. Martin‘s books to save the lives of countless of characters.
- Make the SyFy channel actually make and continue to support original sci-fi shows.
- Bring back Firefly.
- Never allow George Lucas to change any of the original three movies. Han always shoots first.
- When Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor regenerates, let him regenerate back into David Tennant.
- Add more scenes of Wil Wheaton’s Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: Nemesis
- Reason with Peter Jackson to keep The Hobbit to two films and not add in too much.
- Help the crew and cast find time to film Dr. Horrible 2.
- Find funding to film Y: The Last Man and cast Zachary Levi as Yorick Brown.
- Bring back Firefly.
- Go back to 2009 and help keep sci-fi shows on the air because life is better with sci-fi television shows (SGU, V, Caprica, FlashForward, Dollhouse, Defying Gravity all canceled)
- Get some kick-ass female superhero movies made! Catwoman and Elektra do NOT count!
- Go back and advise anyone to listen that Jar Jar Binx was not a good idea.
- Convince JK Rowling that writing another book in the Harry Potter universe would be a fantastic idea.
- Help George R.R. Martin finish writing the next book.
- Bring back Torchwood. And while we’re at it, find a way to include Tosh (Naoko Mori), Owen (Burn Gorman), and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd).
- Bring back ___________ (enter your favorite character’s name).
- Please stop Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker from dancing in Spider-Man 3. Just stop.
- Explain to Joss Whedon that he doesn’t have to kill off favorite characters to make a huge impact (although I forgive him a lot for bringing back Agent Coulson in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)
- Make Lost‘s finale explain more than it did.
- Oh, and bring back Firefly.
Did I miss any? Let me know, and I’ll try to work it in when I blow out my candles!

Happy Birthday! Yes, yes and yes. We need to bring back Ned Stark because he was a cool guy.
Thanks! And Ned Stark is just the beginning of saving lives in Martin’s works. My goodness but he does enjoy killing them off!
I know! He isn’t attached to any of his characters.
Firefly and Chuck are awesome! I haven’t watched the last ep of Firefly though. I guess I’m sort of like Desmond (Lost) who refuses to read the last Charles Dickens book.
As a storyline, it’s a good episode. But every time I watch it, I get upset because I know it’s the last. However, you can’t get too sad because then you get to watch “Serenity”. What other canceled show got its own movie? But really – I understand.
Happy Birthday! I believe those are all reasonable requests, here’s hoping at least a couple of them come to pass.
Thanks! I hope I don’t have to choose which ones. I’d really like to see them all come to pass!
Bring back Firefly! Yes! And happy belated birthday 🙂
Thank you! And yes please! Although in a Nerd HQ panel with Nathan Fillion from this year’s SDCC, he said he worried about lowering the quality of what existed. He said best to have gone out at the top of their game. Food for thought. But still….bring back Firefly!
