I think you may be missing my point. I'm not saying that I or anyone of us wants Firefly to become Star trek. Let's face it that franchise craped out way before it was put out to pasture. What I am saying is that like early Star Trek who's fans kept it going inspite of it's limited mainstream acceptance and the poor box office numbers for first movie the fans where able to keep it going. And if they could do it I don't see why we can't and that should give us hope

Plus as a bonus as long as Joss is keeping control of the franchise it shouldn't spire down the crap hole of corporate Hollywood.

Yea but odds are we would have had episodes like "Jayne's Brain" "That Reaver Survives" or "The (exploding) Apple" in those 79...

It Had a cast of unknowns much like Firefly.

Deforest Kelly and George Takai weren't really unknowns. Heck George Takai was doing movies while he was a cast member of Star Trek, ever wonder why he wasn't in "The Trouble with Tribbles"? He was staring in a movie with ‘The Duke’ (The Green Berets to be specific).

Still, in my opinion you can't just pick the good aspects out of the Star Trek history without looking at the current situation. The movie and tv business changed a lot since then.

I'm glad this discussion lives on.

Threads, I agree, are hard - they are born, and die, and are repeated, and die . . .

Maybe I've lost my gorram mind but I was just thinking about your purposed episode of "Jayne's Brain" and thinking about what that episode would be like just cracks me up and I got to say I would have loved to see it.

So don't give up we have new fans coming in every day. Best of all It has happened before and IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!!!

Thanks, I needed that!!!!
