Schism time!

We Firefly folk are all believers (dangerous...), but we all know the time has come for a great schism, between those who accept the BDM as canon and those who do not.
I think rather than fight on points that for the large part aren't arguable, we should acknowledge those differences formally. Hence I am proud to declare the first new branch. We don't have a name yet (any ideas?), but we do have our articles of faith:
1.) Firefly is divine, and Joss is its prophet. 
2.) The series, the R. Tam sessions, and the deleted scene from OMR are true canon.
3) Shooting scripts and Dead or Alive could be argued for.
4.) The BDM and the Dark Horse comics are NOT canon.
(I haven't seen the RPG yet, so I don't know about that.)
5.) FOX is the anti-Joss.
Now I declare every single person who does not agree with me a heretic, doomed to an afterlife where every single good show is mistreated then summarily cancelled by FOX network.
Anyone want to join my sect, or form another, so we can have religious wars and inquisitions and all that fun?

The comics & "Serenity" are not canon? That's go sa my friend. Denying something you don't like don't make it any less real. It's Joss' 'verse & we are just visiting.
If accepting the comics & BDM makes me a heretic than call me a heretic.

I agree. Let's stop with all this talk of exclusive clubs and division in the fanbase. We're all browncoats (or Purplebellies. Whichever).

Okay, that tears it. This is war! While our sects may be identical on points 2 to 5, mine goes further on point 1 and says that Joss is more than merely a prophet - at the very least he's the second coming of Christ! So prepare to burn in Fox-hell, infidel!

I'm with my fellow VA Browncoat on this one. Just because part of the fanbase dislikes Serenity doesn't make it any less Joss's vision for the 'verse. In fact, I think it's MORE Joss's vision than the show was, thanks to less MEDDLING from execs. Mal was more the way Mal was supposed to be (TV Mal would have never left that guy to the Reavers)etc. etc.
So, On On Inquistion! (no one expects the Browncoats' Inquisition!)

It's in the special features of the DVD set, along with the rest deleted scenes. The others are mostly slightly more awkward versions of what was finally filmed, but the OMR scene was beloved by all, but cut for time considerations. I rather wish they had reinserted it on the DVD's, but if wishes were horses, then horsesteak and a 2nd season...
You honestly have Firefly jammies?? ::jealous::
