Don’t give up yet, I've only just discovered firefly / Serenity!

Saw the trailer and dismissed it out of hand, looked like a bad TV show.
But then friends who went to see Serenity, said it was really good! and you know what they were right!
So browed the DVD of the TV show now I love it, Firefly is loads better.

Yes that guy’s right we have closure on the story, but that doesn’t stop me wonting more!

The film got me interested, but I fell in love with the TV show, bring it back…..! :(

My wife noticed a few of the changes to the cover and got a little ticked, finally understanding my stand on Universal. but anyway, I think the content speaks for itself. Maybe someone should just make an alternate DVD cover and propagate it around the internet. Browncoats all over printing it and wrapping their DVD's with it. That would be cool.
Good to hear from the new convert. Make the signal go further!

There is more to do than simply make sure Joss remembers us. Think of every single person you know, everyone who has the slightest chance of being willing to take movie advice from you, and tell them about Serenity.

If they like it have them do the same.

I started getting into Firefly about a month ago, through a different site. There were Firefly fans on there and they said about how good it was, about the characters and the plots, and I got the boxset for Christmas. I'm only half way through it so far but it's a wicked series. I plan on seeing the movie (though the stupid cinema only kept it on for a week or two, or I would have seen it already).

I'd love for there to be another film/series at some point in the future. And through sites likes this and the one that got me into Firefly, will see it too, like anything it's going to gain fans as it goes along. I really hope the DVD sales are great, so as to encourage to possibility of something else continuing with this franchise. I certainly don't want it to end, I've only just found it.

I kinda agree with Serenity being the end of the story, at least for now. But it opens up all sorts of possibilites for more story to come. There was never a hard mention of how much time had passed between the last episode of the series and the movie. For people who love Wash and Book there is the perfect opportunity for more storylines involving those 2 before their untimely deaths. What happens after they pass? Where does the crew go after Serenity? What I would love to happen is for the series to come back right where it left off, and be in time before Serenity. Future movies or even a new series could be made about what happens afterwards. I sincerely hope that this is not the end for our fair crew, the time spent was short but it was well worth the grief.

I don't agree or disagree with the statement that the movie was the end. It could be, it surely has all that it needs to end the firefly/serenity verse. What it doesnt need though is people giving up on it. Joss frankly stated that this movie shouldnt have happened, he didnt say it was the end, he didnt say he wanted it to end. In fact he stated numerous times how much he loved the show and the crew. So why would he just end it. I dont think he did. I think he gave the movie all it needed as the oppurtunity for closure if it did fail. But I firmly believe that he doesnt want it to end, if the browncoats rally he will for sure rally with us. Just because poeple are saying this is the end doesnt mean it has to be. The browncoats took a show that was supposed to end earlier than it did and kept it going longer than it was supposed to, then to further just slap every tv/movie critic and company in the face got a movie made out of a show that only lasted 14 episodes. No fandum has every done that, and believe you me if the browncoats get out there and prove to everybody that firefly isnt dead and wont be someone will get off thier gorramn behind and do something. This may be idle chatter, this may be a hopeless cause, but the only sure fact is that if we give up than the show is dead.

Serenity and Firefly are holding the Amazon Top Sellers DVD Chart with Serenity at #2 and Firefly at #3. Given the competition around Christmas and the New Year, it would appear to be a fantastic performance.

Firefly has rarely dropped from the Top 10 in the last few months, and WalMart even was forced to suspend sales of Firefly as they ran out of the product.

How can one read this and think that the show is dying.

"There was never a hard mention of how much time had passed between the last episode of the series and the movie."

Wastegate 13 - I think they did reference a timeframe - at least Mal says to Simon "8 months - 8 months you had her on my boat" referring to River - which would have been from the start of the series when they first boarded. The run of the series (just guessing here) I think covers about 5-6 months. River was 16 in the series - but is 17 in the movie so obviously her birthday was in here somewhere - so I think the time could only be about 2-3 months tops between the last ep and the movie, probably more like 2. Of course I'm just guessing here.

I agree though - I would love to see anything more made with this 'verse - in any timeframe.

Um... getting back on topic... has anyone actually written to Joss? I mean, is that contact information valid?

This must be what going mad feels like!

I heard somewhere that the comics spanned the six months between the series and the movie.

Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse
