Harris Poll: Firefly is third most upsetting TV departure. A survey of 2,170 adults in the U.S. placed it only behind Friends and M*A*S*H. Link includes various generational and demographic breakdowns. This weighs heavy on my mind every time I pause long enough to take in the shit that passes for programming on Fox.

Short Film: The Last One
Forty years in the future, humanity succeeded in creating robots indiscernible from humans, but a war broke out that inevitably had to end in the extinction of one race or the other. Created by
students at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg,
this is short but compelling film that immediately involves the
audience in the plight of the last survivor of his race.
"In the year 2058 after years of research the human race finally achieved the goal they had worked on for years. They created robots that looked exactly like humans. But two species that were that similar but that different at the same time were about to face some serious problems. A war started and one little piece of technique got the main instrument in preventing one race from erradication."
Short Film: STRINGS
"STRINGS" Written & Directed by Jimmy Loweree of UnbundledUnderground
"Strings" is a dark short film that tells a
story succinctly without a lot of explanation. The crisp, clean cinematography and slick fight choreography
compliment a very cool concept that will leave you wanting more...
Even if you tried to guess it beforehand, I'd wager you still won't see this ending coming.

Strings is an intense short film about a captive woman who is kept sedated for a very good reason. She is extremely valuable, and the battle to free her will determine her fate.
Shot in two days in Los Angeles, it was a test to see how ambitious the team could be with limited resources.
Short Film: Ike Interviews God
There are few things quite to funny as the apocalypse, if it's done right, and in "Ike Interviews God," it's definitely done right.
In this dark comedy, a Joe Anyman finds himself in a position to interview an Old Testament God.
Though there are a few cringe-worthy moments of dialog, on the balance, "Ike Interviews God" is a demonstration of how clever writing can transcend the limitations of a shoestring budget. The film's punchlines are frequent and distinctly Douglas Adams-esque.

"A timid insurance clerk named Ike is our only hope of convincing God to halt the impending apocalypse."
Short Film: Goodbye
"Goodbye" by Tyler Russo
"Goodbye" is a chilling and somewhat creepy short film in which a man is interviewed after his own death by a frightening automaton wearing four-faced kabuki mask.
