People, people. . . Let's get some perspective here. The show was sabotaged from the get-go. Cancelled, abandoned by every other network that could've bankrolled it. The sets were struck, the cast and crew went their separate ways. . .
And we brought it back. We got a DVD phenomenon, we got a movie deal, we got just about everything we could reasonably hope for.
Now the movie's been delayed.
In the words of our immortal captain: "We're still flyin'."
May not be much, but it's enough.
Now then, lets get on 'Versal's back about those trailers, merchandising, and animated DVD prequel. . .
Hell, look at it this way; we might actually get a Serenity trailer riding along on Lucas's big CGI-sequence of a film. Wouldn't that be shiny (and have the added benefit of making the LucasEmpire seem all manner of foolish)?

What's InconJunction, if you don't mind me asking?

InconJunction is the local Sci-Fi convention that runs July 4th weekend in Indy. I don't know how political or icky it may have gotten in the last many years, but I hope to take a Browncoat contingent next year ... maybe.
Any thoughts, all the rest of you Hoosiers out there? Preparation for the BDM.

I'm suddenly jealous of a SNL skit in which Chris Farley drank down a keg-sized bottle of nyquil... thus sending him to happy unconsciousness for 6 months.

We must band together in an attempt to sway them - petitions, organized protests, mass suicide, something! We could beg that it be moved up a few weeks, or only pushed back as far as June. WE HAVE TO TRY. We can't just roll over and accept it. If they changed it once, they can change it again.

Alright Browncoats, listen up... I said stop whining,... no, you,... will you all please SHUT UP!
There, that's better.
Okay, we're all disappointed, no denying that. We all wanted to line up and put down our platinum and make Fux eat a big slice of humble pie. That'll still happen. Just not when we thought.
What everyone is missing about this is we're better off premiering in September. It's after the summer. Everybody's back home, looking for something to do after blowing oodles of cash doing everything all summer long. A movie is just about right. Plus, with the summer blockbusters out of the way there'll be more room for our BDHs to shine on the screen.
Another thing, there was another thread that said Independant's day should be April 22nd 'cause of the original premiere date and September 7th should be U-day because that was the day Firefly premiered on Fux and that allowed Fux to screw over our BDHs. Well that's just wrong-headed. Here's why. Without Firefly premiering on Fux we wouldn't have had a chance to experience the magic of Serenity. Sure, it didn't go the way Joss and us wanted, but that's life. Sometimes it don't roll the way you want. You just got to roll with it and wait for your chance to rise up.
I say the release date in September is gonna be our Independant's day.
No power in the 'verse can stop us.
The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.

We have to think of what is best for the show... and while I'm not sure that pushing it THAT far back is the best thing, giving it a clear field free of competitors is a good thing. I honestly don't think that Serenity will do as well in the midst of all the summer blockbusters (something Universal recently learned from The Chronicles of Riddick).

Well, didn't all of us think that date was a bit soon considering all the special effects needed?
Weren't we all just a bit nervous about the effect of releasing it so soon in relation to Star Wars EP3?
At least now (not that I'm *remotely* happy about the wait) the furor over Star Wars can die down and we can TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!
