Well said, Ethan!
Never give up. The original Browncoats, may they be blessed, gave so many of us the opportunity to discover Firefly through their sheer determination.
It's up to us new ones to match their fervor and help keep Serenity flying!

Ethan is right, altho I'm not sure I would refer to myself as a 'Brownie'...
but it has never been an onerous duty.

Firefly was cancel in Dec 2002
and Joss went to work immediately
the fans were still waiting for the Firefly DVDs to be released (Dec 2003)
when Universal said they would make a movie (Sept 2003)
while we enjoyed our beautiful DVD sets
we worried about whether all 9 of the BDHs would be in the movie

THEN the movie started filming!
There were Browncoats who got hired at extras,
and shared stories with the rest of us.

So it has never been dull...and I am confident that Joss will never let it become dull
He posted online twice yesterday,
and he will again and again...
he'll get a new set of 'Serenity' comics out in 2006

And I'm hoping that by this time next year
Universal will have green lit the BDS

you just gotta believe, and then enjoy the ride

**********************************************
watch the R. Tam Session vids: http://www.hittarivertam.nu/
and buy the 'Serenity' comics published by Dark Horse,
and have you joined the Browncoats yet?

I think all of you make some good points..And I like to see the positive attitude of the original post...I also am disappointed by the luke-warm response to the film by some of the die-hard fans..Myself being a new convert i am in debt to them for the support they showed for Firefly and the miracle they pulled off by getting Serenity made..They hung in there when things appeared far worse then hopeless..Very impressive...But like MACBAKER said they are dissing the movie because Joss took risks..The two complaints that keep popping up are How could he kill off ---- and ---- ... And people seem to have wanted the movie to be 10 hours longer ...These both seem incredibly weak to me...All of my favorite scifi films killed off some important characters (Star Wars,Lord of the Rings,Alien,Aliens,Matrix etc....) The second complaint makes no sense if he threw in every thing that people like from the series the movie would be at least 12 hours long..12 hour movies wouldn't do to well these days...I would go but most new fans would not...
I also agree with the other new convert who wrote that the newbies should take it from here because the die-hard browncoats have done enough..They certainly have but i wish some of them would understand that Serenity is a feature film not season 2 of Firefly...Joss made a great film take it for what it is not what it is not...

Auggie!!

There is very little for me to say that wasn't covered in the above note. Well done. People die, now lets move on. Plus, there is a new article in SFX with Joss where he says if there was a Serenity 2 he would love to bring Book back as well as Jubal Early. Remember it is sci-fi. I also think a TV show and Film are different beasts. Firefly the series had 14 hours to tell its story where Serenity had 1 hour and 59 minutes. Time will show this is a classic scifi Movie.

I'd have preferred a 24-hour long movie.

Course, something that long would have to be broken up.

Say, into hour-long increments.

And shown on television.

i will take Serenity in any form. Star Trek was a good point as it took over 10 years between series finale of ST to make the first ST movie. Serenity is the best sci fi out there. I would have to say better than star trek. Firefly has vision, heart, humor and plain old charm.. The characters are flawed humans who are just trying to survive.
