Because it's not just about Firefly or Serenity anymore. It's about the community we built. You built. You've been here for a while. Your views and theories and opinions helped shaped the board. Folks feel comfortable expressing themselves here. Not just about Firefly and Book's past as a Purple Belly, but about life. I like that. I like that we've kinda made a little home for ourselves.

Nahh I wont be doing that.

Despite what Joss has been saying going back to Firefly does not require a time machine or a hole to be ripped in the very fabric of space, It merle requires the will to do it.

I wont give up hope.

If I thought a sequel or return to tv would be sub-par, I would never pine for it, but we are talking about Joss.

No I think I'll hold for awhile longer...we'll pass through this storm soon enough.

I should add, I'm not holding out for a second movie or a return to tv. If that happens, shiny. But I know the odds. We held the line and got our movie. We've shown Joss and Co. that we loved their creation. In my mind, we've already won.

Don't try to spoil things with a desire for more?

Are you serious?

I'd like to see if We and Joss can capture that

Well, being born in 1956 me and my brothers used to run around the house singing beetles songs. We also role played at Star Trek TOS. So I guess I meet the age limit. As far as an actors age goes, thanks to plastic surgery a lot of them retain their youthful looks very late in life. I know that William Shatner had aged a few years between the ending of the series and the begining of the first movie and he looked pretty good.
The Beetles, well they were a singing group and Star Trek was a T.V. Series. Apples and Oranges to me. Think I'll just keep the faith and go to a few conventions. Going to one in Orlando Fl next weekend to see Wash and River.

I see that you post a lot and enjoy your posts
Thanks.

I agree with BKIvey, except for the great movie part -- so why do I still come here?

You're just pissed that your "denouement" can never come to pass. On the other hand, you could look at it metaphorically, as though Wash overdosed on the heroin you thought he'd eventually become addicted to. ...Not the drug, but from using too large a (wooden) needle.

All due respect, but I think I'll hold onto hope for more. As I wrote in that 'Beatles comparison' referred to above, we need a show about fighting the powers that be, governmental and corporate. I think that's what attracted people all over the world to the show, and is probably the reason the show and movie were both plagued by poor support. Semi-anarchy and anti-commercialism are not exactly welcome topics at the top levels of the media outlets, no matter how much they (subconsciously?) appeal to us.

The show was the antithesis of the utopian attitudes of Star Trek. Can anybody recall a single episode of the series that didn't have some 'a big nosey government is bad' or 'BlueSun owns everything' reference in it? Of course, the entire movie is anti-'overgovernance'. Not because the government is necessarily totally rotten from top to bottom, but because it's got its whole fist in your reconstituted protein birthday cake (made as chocolatey as possible, given the quality of commercial foodstuffs)...

Anarchically,

zoid

Be sure to tell 'em how we all enjoyed their work. (Make sure Summer knows we think she was robbed by award-nominating powers that be.)

Thank you. You're probably the only one.

14 episodes and a movie is way too little to leave us with, and I'm still hoping for more, as well. Nonetheless, to look at things positively, we should probably be glad we have what we do. I mean, this whole show may've never been produced in the first place, and we never would've enjoyed any of the exploits of Mal, Jayne, River, et al. Pretty dull and boring sci-fi world before "Firefly", and 14 is better than zero.

If there is never another Firefly episode or Serenity movie, I will not be terribly sad. I will not feel like I, or any of the fans, failed. I will be glad for what was and what is.

But I will also want to know that I put forth effort to gather support for something I so enjoy.

I don't mind that some fans would rather put the series to rest, but why, why in the name of all that is shiny would you try and get others to do the same?

It don't make no sense to me.
