Excellent Plan! This Corporate Alliance will only let us fly into the black again if we can find some way to attract their attention to the finest show ever aired without scaring them away like bunnies ala Enterprise and thats through contractural indemnity from any potential lawsuits and enough money to make those suits sing. By the by, what is the state of the copyright landscape? I understood that Joss grapped the rights way back when to see if one of the other networks would bite. My understanding was that Joss had the rights to the rebirth of the series and FOX could only claim ownership over their sad sorry little piece of our sky. (the gorram fools!) Do you know - for sure, mind - if Joss or Universal holds the rights and if not if they can cut a deal with FOX Productions to make the question of copyrights a question of sematics?
As to the aforementioned contribution, I just graduated with my MSEE and once I lineup my first real job (hopefully in a few weeks time) you can have my first gorram paycheck or plastic equivalent if it will really bring Firefly back: cast, crew, Joss et all.
Select to view spoiler:
with Wash hopefully fully alive and kicking since he balanced the rest of the crews tension with really great one-line zingers. Afterall, who among us wouldn't whiteWash his death from our collective memories just to get him back. Book's story remains untold, so him too!
I'll just survive on McDonalds or whatever till my second comes along.
Its time to Bring Firefly Back!
Come Let's Journey Once More into the Black...

They could be cheaply printed,some good fan artist could even illlustrate, and given out as a "thanks" for a contribution of $40.00 to the "Resurrect Firefly" fund.

"You" who? We're writing or commissioning Joss's scripts for him? We're going into the land of the unblazed and untried here - to have any shred of credibility, we have to be as sensible and professional as possible. "We" do not decide where FF stories take place, and what happens in them. Joss has as much interest in having others contribute "helpful" story ideas as Jackson Pollock had in looking at your daughter's refrigerator art for inspiration. This kind of talk gives all our ideas the reek of "amateur hour." We are customers, trying to arrange to get a valued service in a manner that is palatable to the creators (Joss and co.) and the businesspeople (producers, networks, etc.). It is not our train set.
