Post subject: Good Night and Good GOD there's something on my leg!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ahh! Spider! Spider!
No wait. Lint.
Ahh! Lint! Malevolent lint!
Oookay, where was I? Um, time of sadness... transition... live forever in our hearts....
Sorry, I want this post to be really special, I'm just going through my notes. Be with you guys in a sec.
Ahhh... done the improbable... joke about dolphins... majestic DVD art... OH! Hey! Here we go:
Thanks a bunch.
Cool. I thought that went well. Some sentiment, but not maudlin... quality post. The one to go out on, if nobody notices my irrational fear of lint. I think the Browncoats will gain strength from my timely message, or from working out regularly. Anyway, my heart will go on. My liver's a house of cards, though, I kid you not.
Callous? Who said that? Maybe you're callous, mister TROLL! I'm not callous. I got the same feeling when I heard the board was closing down as every one else. But I'm old. Really, really old. Like, Keanu Reeves Old. (God, he's well preserved.) So I've seen this before. The Bronze. The Angelix. The Portly Norwegian Bondage House. All come and gone. What remains? Only two things. The first is Homestar Runner. Go Homestar! Teen Girl Squad! Let's get ready to look SOO GOOD!
The second, guess what, is love.
No flying lessons, don't worry, but what we get from the shows, the films, and the time on these boards -- from each other -- just can't get shut down. You guys gave me so much hope and support... and I gave you a movie so, you know, advantage me. But still. What this place was is sweet, what it will always be is treasured.
I got props for the Uni's for putting this up -- oh, and for making my damn (excuse me, BIG damn) movie. All things must pass. We'll find each other again, especially if any of you are portly, Norwegian and 'open-minded'.
I'll do my best to tell stories that cause as much trouble as this one did. And if I ever get the chance to return to this one... in case it was ever unclear due to shoddy journalism, sign me right the hell up.
You guys are the best crew flying.
Thanks a bunch.

Nice post. I like this Whedon guy more and more every day!
I got here late, but I got here. Thanks again for a cool tv series and an excellent movie. It's funny, watching my Firefly/Serenity dvds beats 97% of everything else that's on tv right now.
Okay, enough. I'm going to put on my Blue Sun tee and curl up in the fetal position for a while...
Happy New Year y'all!
I'll be in my bunk. Orignal, ain't it?

Love Joss' humor. Love that he cares so deeply. It is a strange, unique and wonderful thing, this browncoat/firefly thing.

Joss is wonderful! I was surprised to find out that the official Serenity website was being closed. It definetly came as a shocker.
BTW, what DOES this mean for the franchise? Is Universal giving up on the movie? What's going on?
If someone could please fill me on on what this means for our little boat, I would really appreciate it.

Wacky fun!

It was never more than a movie marketing tool for Universal, and since there's no further need to market the movie in their eyes, no need to pay to maintain the board. Just like they obliterated the TV show sets, rebuilt them for the BDM and then tore them down again to make room for the next project, if/when there's a sequel they'll just stand up a new board when they decide it'll serve a marketing purpose. It's never been a gift for the fans, just part of doing business.

Funny, but it still hurts.
We just have to figure out a way for the 'verse to go on, won't we?
I feel a little like Kaylee in War Stories when she looks at Jayne and says, "Can they do that?"
If you tell me no, it'll break my heart!

I feel like singing a song...a particular one...
"So long, and thanks for all the fish.
So sad that it should come to this....."
heh. Sad to see it go, but some goood memories. Also the reaching of the rank of 60th didn't hurt.
And there's always FFF.net.
"So long, so long, and THANKS!
..for all the fiiiiish"
I'm babbling like a moonbrain.
