Our chances arren't as bad as people try to make out.

I agree. The sequel might not happen in the next year or two but it will happen as sure as the rain will fall.

And while we wait we have these things coming out to quench our thirst for more:

1. Serenity Comic Books Spring or Summer of 2006.
2. Serenity Novels; first one projected for Summer of 2006 probably farther off though; next one's author hasn't been announced yet.
3. An expansion to the Serenity role playing game coming out very soon.
4. Firefly trading cards.

And I'm sure there will be more down the road.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Oh, I'm mighty greatful for the 14 Firefly episodes and for the awesome movie, Serenity. I absolutely love what I've got!

The thing is, though, that I can't help but want more. I can't help it because it's been ressurected once, why not a second time? I can't help it because I think that there's more to this 'verse than what we've got. That's why I read fanfic; that's why I read anything I can get my hands on that says anything about Firefly or Serenity; that's why I call this place home. Here, we all recognize that there are more stories to be told; and the most beautiful part of it all is that to fill that Firefly void, we tell our own stories.

Please, please don't ever tell me to give up hope. Please don't ask me to let go of something that has opened my eyes to the world around me. Please don't ask me to forsake my dreams of wanting more, because that's like asking me to leave home.

Oh, I am greatful for what I've got, but for me and many others, there's something more, something wanting about the 'verse that is there.

You don't have to want more, but don't ruin the fun and the hopes of everyone else.

Wacky fun!

Why not? Both have done very well in DVD sales and Firefly has had the benefit of a movie to enlarge the fanbase, which Family Guy did not. The movie didn't do spectacularly well but it didn't flop either. Another movie or TV series is definitely possible. Whichever they do it would have a bigger initial fanbase and more media hype second time round. Both Fox and Universal would be crazy not to at least consider it.

the problem is that more people are able to get Family Guy. Firefly is something that is harder for people to relate to. Not as many people can understand the ideas of a Space Western or even want to spend the time watching one. More people can relate to comedy, not as many can relate to Sci-Fi. The problem with the series is that it doesn't have the huge vast numbers that a show needs, it only has a small loyal cult...a cult that couldn't keep the movie in the boxoffice for more then two weeks.

Ok, this is now numerous. You've used this "only in theatre's 2 weeks" thing several times. Can't let it go, not in the mood this evening. Not trying to be argumentative but I can't let non-facts go.

The movie was in theatres longer than 2 weeks.
It did fine. It's going to do fine once we tally all the totals.

I'm a business woman, and I can see the logic of doing something with this. It'll happen, but some time will pass before it does. Joss is busy, Universal is still scoping out what will happen next. Lots of DVD's still to sell outside of the USA. This isn't the only market you know.

I got my Entertainment Weekly today. Serenity is within the top 100 sellers for the year. Just on theatre take alone. Not #1 but not bad either. It will make Universal money.
And they will do SOMETHING with it.

Yeah, people like Family Guy, but people fall in LOVE with the 'verse. Then they get busy and help others see the wonders of it and THEY fall in love. Our "small loyal cult" will grow. It's a given.

No not yet,.............and not by a long way.
I discovered the verse but two months ago,
I've only started handing out the TV series,none of my mates have even heard of Firefly or Serenity.

Hold fast brown coats ,the reinforcements are coming,the word is spreading every day.
Do not doubt that what we have seen is something special,it just has to reach a wider audience.

I'm a brown coat ....I'm a believer ......Serinity WILL fly again.

We're with ya!
Keep recruiting, grow our numbers...soon my friends, very soon we will be impossible to ignore.

Cudos to you KiltedBC! Know that you have comrades-in-arms on this side of the pond.

This fight is only just beginning.

As far as sci-fi is concerned "Serenity" and
"Firefly" raise the bar.

Let us take what we have and build upon it but not wish for the glory days of old. Serenity may never sail again but the frission is still there.

I think that Firefly/Serenity are good at 14 episodes and one great movie. Don't try to spoil things with a desire for more.

I agree completely. Let's just enjoy what we got.

Right now Amazon Germany has rated the Serenity Special edition DVD #168, six weeks before release. I think this might say something. Firefly is at #433

Won´t let her go. It´s like leaving an old bleeding friend to die while he is still alive and talking to you! Can´t do this...

Yeah, well, i think you're barking up the wrong tree here. I never saw the show on TV. Didn't hear about it til 2 years ago when a friend lent me the DVD set. Been in love ever since. I, as a general rule, don't watch much TV. It's all crap. Then a show like this comes along & some ruttin bungger goes cancelin it. That don't sit right with me. I'm certainly not the loudest recruiter in the bunch (i can claim only 10 or so new Browncoats personally recruited), but ain't no one love this show more than me. And you askin us to lay down & die? Well, that don't sit right either. We hold. I will most likely spend the rest of my days hoping for a few more seasons as i'm right sure it ain't gonna happen, but i ain't givin up. I’ll continue to share Firefly with anyone who will let me. Yeah, we may get 1 more movie out of it, but that's little consolation. As much as I enjoyed it, Serenity wasn't Firefly.
