Oh, yes, thank you. I was about to pitch my 2 in on this one. I collect found lists. Have one that includes "change of clothes in a shoebox", another that intends "talk dad into having the party at his house".
There are few whose work touches me as deeply, I find his depth of understanding of character and emotion a constant inspiration. He makes me laugh, breaks my heart, makes me want to be a better person.
Of course he would say 'you've done more than', that's just his way. Of course that doesn't mean we will stop. Even if the numbers were way up there, I would still be gently coaxing others to go with me. There are things about participation in an event like this that can't be replicated by a DVD on a small screen, even if you don't make opening night.
Joss is my Harvey

Me too! Is that sad?
I was so happy about the Watership Down reference... That's an awesome book about people, well, rabbits, who do the impossible... It seems remarkably apropo.
I didn't get to the BDM today, but I'm hoping maybe late this evening. And I have two good friends who are planning on a Sunday matinee. If I can find a sitter, I'll join them.
I wish he *would* publish a to-do list for us... We'd do it in a flash. Joss, if you're lurking, we're your willing hordes. Point us where you want us and we'll go all Ghengis-Khan-y.
But only in a tasteful, understated, not-freakish way, of course.
There is no such thing as a weed.

Only Joss could touch the hearts of so many in fourteen short episodes. You're shiny, Joss, really shiny.
I'm shiny, Captain. A-OK.

As is almost always true of television: Bridgett loves Bernie was a really crappy piece of crap passed off as entertainment.
David Birney and Meredith Baxter-Birney played a newlywed couple. After the series went down in flames and both their careers stalled and the inevitable hollywood divorce, she was again Meredith Baxter. Yes the mom on "Family Ties." David Birney faded into obscurity never to be seen by mankind again.
*sniff* I got the reference ... pity me.

After watching the fourteen episodes, I am at a loss to describe how I feel about Firefly. I believe it to be the greatest television series that I know of, and that isn't just my fandom talking. A friend of mine is in love with the Angel series and worships Joss, but until I finished the pilot episode and took a step back, I hadn't known the meaning of entertainment. Before I discovered Firefly, I thought touching stories and sweet fight scenes were the reason that I watched visual media.
Firefly isn't a coming of age tale, or a conflict between pro- and antagonists. Firefly isn't just another piece of shit that FOX can molest. It doesn't have sappy dramatic crap that makes you want to cry or a score that enhances your emotions. It isn't based on a true story or tell the tragedy of something gone horribly wrong. The filming of the show was unprofessional. The casting wasn't perfect. The computer generated sequences weren't top of the line. Even the story itself wasn't impervious. All of these things are mere terms, in reality all they are are keywords that turn intentions into money. Firefly isn't the same Hollywood crap. Firefly is life. Life that is imperfect and unfortunate, but keeps chugging along.
I just found this site and I don't know if Joss visits it or even cares about it, but he has made me happy. I am saddened that the only means of conveying my gratitude is to buy Firefly merchandise and visit theaters frequently, but it is the curse on this age. If money is what it takes for Joss to continue making me happy, money is what I will deliver.
I've never been one for conventions of anything of the sort. I dislike Star Trek and Star Wars and Stargate etc. and I really dislike Westerns, but this series and everything Joss has done with it makes me terribly overjoyed. I don't understand how much of a roadblock FOX can be- I'm not a writer or director- but I really want to see a continuation of the series.
I feel some form of obligation to Joss to do my part. I just hope he doesn't lose interest in this project with Wonder Woman and Goners and whatever else he's plotting. If enough people see Firefly for what it truly is and not just a 'science western', I have no doubt in my mind that his vision will amass a fanbase to rival the best.
My sincere thanks goes out to Joss and everyone who had a hand in Firefly.
