Bringing Back Firefly
Monday, April 3, 2006 9:24 PM
Hi,I Think I have found a way to bring Firefly back to the small screen. First off, I do not pretend to know much about finance, but from what I understand the main reason no tv network has brought Firefly back was becouse it was becouse of money. as Tony Montana once said "First you get the money, Then you get the power". I prefer "it's called the golden rule: whoever has the gold, makes the rules".
If you can't see what this has to do with Firefly, please just stick with me a little longer.
In the business world stock is the equivelent of gold. When you own a companys stock you own part of that company, giving you more influence in the company than the average guy. Let's say that afew people buy 15 shares of stock each, in the same company. 15 shares is not that much, but if that group was working together it all adds up. Suppose there are over 500 members of this site. Now if say 250 of those members, thats less then half, each bought 15 shares of stock in the same company, that would a total of 3750 shares of stock. Now if that company happened to be a tv network like Sci-Fi channel or Spike tv, then a petition from the stock-holders would carry more weight than a pettition from the general public. We would have the "gold" so we would be able to influence the rules, and mabey, just mabey, be able to bring back Firefly!
We also have one thing that the cable companies do not have, Microsoft! That may sound pretty lame, but Paul Allen is a major Sci-Fi fan. He owns captain Kirk's chair and a life sized replica of the Alien, from the movie Alien.
I think this is just crazy enough to work, I mean, I have seen a few petitions to start up Firefly again, but I have yet to see one made that was signed by stock holders!
let me know what you think.
