If we can see how good it is, and Joss can see it, and the cast and crew can see it then maybe we fans need to start a save-firefly fund maybe we could raise enough so that Joss could do it without the execs?
Or maybe all the execs really are reavers, someone should start a poll on that.

I suspect that, compared to most films and merchandise, there's a sales pattern with everything Firefly-related of explosive initial sales, because we're so gung-ho to get our hands on everything.
On the contrary - there's a pattern of incredibly long-lasting sales. The series DVDs have been on Amazon's bestseller list for ages:

I don't know how many copies need to be sold on a daily basis to keep a DVD in their Top 50 for months on end, but I'm pretty confident it's not just us hard-core types doing the buying.

And yet WalMart etc will carry every damned TV series BUT Firefly. Target has every season of Angel and Buffy on their shelves in Las Cruces NM, but not a single copy of Firefly.
Hell, Hot Topic...lord of cult classic clothin (Evil Dead...Donnie Darko) has yet to pick up on Firefly...Would LOVE to see some quality Hot Topic Serenity-wear and bumper stickers. Guess I have to settle for cafepress and bluesunshirts for now...

Firefly is now offered for sale on Overstock.com. It is listed as being highly likely to sell out (duh).

Its funny I actually seemed to have missed Firefly when it first aired, probably due to long work hrs, but after watching the movie many times I sought out the TV episodes on DVD and now I am a fan. I am seriously wanting Firefly to return to TV and another movie would be great also. This is my favorite TV series - ever, and I hope someone out there in TV exec-land decides to be kind to us fans.

I personally think Tim Minnear is our last chance for resurrecting the show once the contract timer at FOX runs out.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

Whoooaaaa ooo aaa o a!
Dagnabit! This is getting downright disturbing...
but I will use my superpowers to swim in the gravity free zone.
I think the popularity will just keep building and building, until Joss gets to do whatever he would most want to do with FF. Buying Fox outright, how about that marzipan in your pie plate, Bingo!
Gosh, it might even be that the television execs decide they have underestimated the viewer and put out lots of thoughtful, heartfelt, intelligent shows. In my dreamworld, Bingo.

There is no "DAGNABBIT".
Stryke that word from the apocolyptic world of your vokabulary. All your base are belong to us.
There is, HOWEVER, a little moon-sized planet called Dagobah (NOT to be confused with Dagnabbit), where Kermit the Frog lives. He possesses great powers, and was once a great puppet master. one day (before the whole "I love Miss Piggy" thing happens), he will utter these words...
"Perhaps..."
"MAYBE, just maybe, perhaps..."
"tim minnear I see in him..."
"one day he could be made to give instruction to Whedon Skywalker.
"hmmm..." (eat stolen Skywalker granola bar)
"sense great fear in him i do... too great the dark side of hollywood is... movie producer wannabe he is, yes..."

I thought I could navigate in the XZG, alas, my brain has been turned to mush with this approximate storyline beamed from the ancient face on Mars.
There are tears on the keyboard, and I am gripping my tum with the pain of this wicked wicked laughter.

Where is my evil emperor cloak? Ahh... there it is...
*puts on cloak*
*blasts Liminalosilosity with streams of electrical-otious-istic plasma.. ya that's a real word in my universe... (sorry that name is hard to accuractely spell... I aren't capable, and I ain't gonna debate the issue. I wasn't ain't gonna never not repeat this, but you've never not forced my hand)...
You will turn to the dark side like your nephew (half-cousin to your sister's step-father's 3rd cousin ~ whoa the genetics of that are way too freaky to get into). Just trust me. Turn to the dark side (cuz I said so if for no other reason).
If not...
Someone please hire me an attorney already so I can negotiate screenrights to this thread. I won't keep nuking this chick unless I have creative rights over the future of this thread. It's just that simple. Give me sequel rights, I'll plasma-blast her into silliness, but I wanna be creative director of the sequel. At the very least.
Where's my agent?
