Nope, not going to give up.

I refuse to accept that there won't be more. However, I seem to be somewhat in the minority in that I'd be just fine if "more" translated to a whole passel of comics and novels. It's the Expanded Universe Star Wars nerd in me that, as much as I'd love to see the BDHs on screen again, I'd be more than thrilled if we got a string of quality print fiction.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

Give up?

Not gonna happen.

I've seen what can happen if you stick to your guns. Look at Doctor Who and the fan-built dynasty there. What, don't know what I mean? After the show was cancelled the uber-fans kept up the fan fics. Then came the Virgin published novels. Some written by the same uber-fans. Then the BBC published book line, which lasted several *hundred* books. Some written by the same uber-fans.

At the same time there were fan produced radio dramas. I think at least three continuing lines of them. And then the BBC licensed commercial radio dramas, which are quite good. And the fan produced movies.

And now the show is back on the BBC; doing great. If we keep flying and keeping the verse alive we won't wind up on the drift. We may be rolling our own stories; we may wind up saying hellywood turned it's back on us but that doesn't mean that the story has to end....we just have to help Joss find ways to keep telling it and find our own places out on the fringe.

Count me in too! I just discovered the 'verse a couple of months ago, and I'm not about to let it go so easily. I agree, if all we end up with is a few novels and comics, so be it, but I'm not ready to take my dog out of this fight just yet.

I'm still pushing Firefly on all my friends and coworkers, and I'm developing a small army of "groupies" as my wife calls them. Awareness of Firefly/Serenity is growing, and while it may be too little and too late to save the sinking ship, I'm heading for the bridge with the Captain, and I'm going down with it.

I'll join ya at the bridge.Oh dear, this is bringing memories of that movie Titanic now. *Sniff* Sorry 'bout that.

I don't think I can let Firefly go. I put my heart and soul into this thing and it's a part of me. It's most important now that we hold the line stronger than ever before for the hope that we may have our 'verse back again.

Very good point. Why can't you guys just keep your insignificant thoughts for yourselves and leave us allone? This is starting to smell like Troll Country.

Give up? Let it go?

.....

Na. Well, maybe, if they make more, and Joss finally says that it’s over.

Well, here I am.

We've done the impossible once, so why not try to do it again. What's the worst that can happen? All you invest is time and a little money (DVDs and a shirt or funny hat). Just giving up on something so truly unique and wholly amazing is just sad. I consider the ship and the crew to be friends and if they were truly gone I, well I think it best said by Red (Morgan Freeman) from The Shawshank Redemption. I think we should fight a war with anyone that tells us to stop fighting (even Joss Whedon) doesn't really understand what we have and can't. It's simple hope for a familiar voice in the black so we don't go all bibildy and they were the best. So I fight because it is only right I can see to do when the dark closes in. So make your choice on which side of the line you stand on. Fight for the smallest of hope that one day we will see Serenity fly again or just sit there sadly doing nothing but watching what you've know is there with nothing (not even the smallest of hope) that there could be more. Even if it is gone forever we can still make more even if you and I have to write our own stories. There's still a book or two still coming a comic as well. The RPG is still releasing an adventure. So I say once again fight, fight even when you have no other reasons.

"Those of us who knew it best talk about him often. I swear, the stuff he pulled. It always makes us laugh. Sometimes it makes me sad, though, it being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice... but still, the place you live is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."

And though it took some time and some work...

Red saw his friend again.

I'm with you all. For now and forever.

Don't spoil it with a desire for more?

Isn't that what life is about? Desiring more than just what's in front of you? Hope is an integral part of life. If you had no hope or desire for more in life, what would be the point in living?
