UPDATE: So a few hours ago I wrote about the rampant horse abuse lately on TV shows, including the death of the third horse involved with the production of HBO’s Luck. And now HBO has halted production of Luck indefinitely!
It’s been canceled, and I think it’s obvious it’s because of my blog post. I mean, I posted, and about an hour later the radio mentioned that the producers were calling it quits. What else could it be? I’m pretty sure if event B comes after event A, that’s definitive proof that A caused B. Which means C: I HAVE INCREDIBLE POWER!! ALL TELEVISION MUST HEED MY WRATH!!
Byronic Man, unleashing his power on cable television. (artist's rendering)
Make more episode of Firefly right now! I COMMAND IT!
Dexter has long since worn out the suspension of disbelief and exhausted the bounds of believability! CANCEL DEXTER! CANCEL IT, I SAY!!
Game Of Thrones: make Ned Stark not dead! I know that messes up the books! QUESTION ME NOT! IT IS MY WILL.
Modern Family: keep it up. KEEP IT UP. I HAVE DEMANDED IT OF YOU!!!
Everyone: STOP MAKING REALITY SHOWS ABOUT LOATHSOME SCUMBAGS!
BRING BACK COMMUNITY. I care not that Chevy Chase is supposedly a complete ass in real life. I CARE NOT.
And, finally? Lay off the horses.

This is hilarious! Such power you wield Byronic Man!
March 15, 2012 at 5:33 pm
It’s almost frightening, isn’t it?
March 15, 2012 at 3:36 pm
Ooh! Community is on tonight! Yessss! One of my favorites. You are incredible! Thank you, B-Man!
March 15, 2012 at 5:34 pm
I live to serve!
March 15, 2012 at 3:44 pm
ZOMG, GAME OF THRONES SPOILERS, MY EYES!
(just kidding, but someone had to say it)
March 15, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Also, I look forward to more episodes of Firefly, but what about Arrested Development?
March 15, 2012 at 5:36 pm
I was on the front lines of the “Save Our Bluths” movement, to be sure, and will quote it endlessly. I have to say, though, that I’ve come to decide that maybe it’s best that it ended when it did. Blasphemy, I know. One more season would have been perfect, but there’s no way they could have sustained that level of writing and wit for too long, and as is it’s just so perfect. Firefly, on the other hand, never really even got to get a fair start.
March 15, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Perhaps a spoiler, but – seriously – season 1/book 1 would be better knowing that was coming. I don’t even remember the following episode because I was angry and saying, “That didn’t really happen, did it? There’s no way. There’s NO WAY.”
March 15, 2012 at 3:44 pm
Are you taking requests, TV or otherwise? I’ve got a little list here . . .
March 15, 2012 at 5:37 pm
I’m always happy to wield my incredible TV powers for a friend.
March 15, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Don’t forget to give credit where credit is due. To Castle Grayskull.
March 15, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Okay, okay… BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL! I HAVE THE POWEERRRR!! MORE EPISODES OF FIREFLY!!”
March 15, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Make more episode of Firefly right now! I COMMAND IT!
Yes please. More, more, more, more.
March 15, 2012 at 5:40 pm
If I’m ever dictator Joss Whedon’s going to be a busy, busy man.
March 15, 2012 at 6:34 pm
I would make him head of all media.
March 15, 2012 at 4:40 pm
You are a Browncoat? Well, that explains everything. The wit, intelligence, sardonic Byronicalness. It all makes sense now. 🙂
March 15, 2012 at 5:40 pm
Gorram right.
March 15, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Ah, a fellow Firefly fan – I knew I liked you for a reason!
Seriously, you’ve either got some crazy mind-control abilities or you’re actually started to see something in the murky crystal ball of yours. Uncanny…
March 15, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Watch this!
IN TWO DAYS TIME, I DEMAND THE PUBLIC WEAR EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GREEN AND CONSUME ALCOHOL. I HAVE SPOKEN.
You just wait.
March 15, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Dude… really?! The boyfriend’s birthday is the 18th so you’ve just consigned me to be a designated driver for the whole weekend…
March 15, 2012 at 6:10 pm
I DEMAND THAT BOYFRIENDS MAKE REASONABLE PLANS AHEAD OF TIME TO TAKE TAXIS.
March 15, 2012 at 6:17 pm
Use your power, get BBC America to run an Avengers marathon. All of them.
March 16, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Oh, good idea.
March 16, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Three words: Young Diana Rigg.
March 15, 2012 at 6:20 pm
To your note on Modern Family: “Anything with Sofia Vergara … MAKE MORE OF IT, WITH CLOSEUPS, LET IT BE WRITTEN… LET IT BE DONE!!!”
Dear lord that woman is hot.
March 16, 2012 at 1:45 pm
I’m pretty sure she’s theoretical. A real person can’t be that voluptuous.
March 15, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Dude, about FIREFLY and GAME OF THRONES and the reality shows, I’ve absolutely got your back.
March 16, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Excellent. I may need it if I have to get tough with the Fox network.
March 16, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Oh, yeah, I’m absolutely on board with that.
March 15, 2012 at 11:04 pm
Hallelujah!!! = Make more episode of Firefly right now! I COMMAND IT!
I CARE NOT! rofl
March 16, 2012 at 1:40 pm
I’m still waiting for confirmation of my decree, but it’s coming.
March 16, 2012 at 9:33 am
I have never, and will never, doubt the power of the almighty Byronic Man! Just one question…does your power extend to the actors of television shows? For example, I mean just hypothetically speaking, if you gave your blessing for, I don’t know, someone from Glee, to enter a polygamous relationship, would he too succumb to your power?
March 16, 2012 at 1:39 pm
I’m on it. *wink*
March 16, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Yesterday I was going to request of you to bring back Dark Shadows, and as a personal favor to somehow weave in Mr Depp but I thought this would be asking too much, even for you. But you are truly powerful ! For today I found this :

March 17, 2012 at 8:26 am
It wasn’t easy, to get them to go in to production so the teaser would be ready in time for your request, but I made it happen. Just part of the service here at The Byronic Man.
March 17, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Most appreciative. The thought crossed my mind, given your recent Godfather right up…..am I now forever in your debt & is there any kissing of Irish rings involved in not getting my horses head severed? No…. I guess not, you’ve also established yourself as being on the “pro horse” side.
March 16, 2012 at 6:56 pm
With a talent like yours I’d be playing the ponies… 😉
March 17, 2012 at 8:18 am
I’ve bet on horses exactly twice. Lost the first time, won the second. Won 24 dollars on a 2 dollar bet and called it quits (the horse was actually named Nine Days Rain, the name I use in the post). I’m a cheap, cheap man.
March 18, 2012 at 3:48 am
Your cause is just Byronic man.
Thanks for the blogs…..
….are you able to use your powers to create new shows?
Perhaps “The Waltons v The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch”….but with absolutely NO survivors….?
March 18, 2012 at 10:25 am
Hmmm… I don’t know about ‘wielding power’… more like bossy maybe. But I agree re: ‘Modern Family’, ‘Firefly’ & Reality Shows… I quit caring about ‘Dexter’ long ago.
My daughter, who has read the books, told me when I was lamenting the end of Lord Stark… “Don’t become attached to any of the characters in ‘Game of Thrones”.
I liked ‘Luck’… so, if you have so much damn power… Heal the Horses!!!
March 25, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Obama’s visit to South Korea…”The DMZ” of course they rock super hard.
March 25, 2012 at 6:12 pm
I think this comment wound up on the wrong page, somehow…
Though The DMZ is a pretty cool name for a rock band.
March 25, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Oh no, so weird! Sorry about that:) Thanks…yes, I am sure they will be a big hit….
March 26, 2012 at 8:24 am
No problem. I’d move it for you, but that’s way beyond my know-how.
March 26, 2012 at 10:09 am
LOL, now people will just feel sorry for me when they read my comment, “awww, poor thing, she didn’t understand the post.”
