What some folks have said already is about right... Some of it's just being on the defensive; you don't want to get let down, particularly regarding something you love so much.
I fell in love with Firefly within five minutes of watching one episode. That's never happened before with any form of entertainment, and likely never will again. The show did absolutely everything I like to see, and nothing that irritated me. Of course I'd love to see it come back, in some form, anywhere.
But, unlike some others, I'm not afraid of being let down. I prefer to be optimistic, even if it seems like there's no possibilities. Hell, we've already done the impossible at least once... and I maintain hope that we can do that again. Just... if there's another Serenity movie, let's not open it the same weekend as some Jessica Alba skinflick. KF

Zoid, I just read your post and couldn't help thinking of this quote

"EARLY
Am I a lion?
SIMON
What?
EARLY
I don't think of myself as a lion.
(smiles)
You may as well, though: I have a
mighty roar. "
We browncoats should have a mighty roar, It's our right as fans. We have indeed done the impossible afterall.
Keep Flyin'

I won't "let go" of this. I love this show too much to let it go. Maybe these people that think we should just bid goodbye to Firefly are nothing more than chronic defeatists.
I will not surrender to defeat. I will hold the line. I will stand on the line and die standing on it if needs be. Some things just aren't meant to be given up on.
Just like Firefly I cherish my nation and it's Constitutional freedoms but I fear those freedoms are in jeopardy not by terrorists so much as by our own leaders who use that fear as a tool to undermine our freedoms and cement their power. When the freedoms our forefathers fought to pass down to us are all stripped away then I have only these words for those in Congress and the White House who in a treasonable fashion sold us all out. To paraphrase Mal, "Take my nation from me and I guarantee you'll see somethin new!"

Do email petitions work though? I remember during the campaign to save Angel, fans were told not to send emails but to send snail mail as emails can just be deleted at the touch of a button while postcards and letters create more of an impression.
I'd happily send some postcards of letters if only I knew where to send them to. Anyone got any suggestions?

Very apt. Bravo.
It's good to see that someone has not only read Hemingway, but comprehended his message. I will be like Santiago, who finally understands the old lion that through failing eyes, still roars defiance at the setting of the sun...
Figuratively,

Thank you ;)

...And if you need any proof that our educational system is whacked, get an eyeful of this: http://www.sdcoe.k12.ca.us/score/oldman/oldmantg.html. If the Boards of Education and the teachers don't understand the meaning of Hemingway any better than this, how will their students? It's about sea turtle conservation and Joe DiMaggio's baseball stats?!?

Well, I think this might be an adequate summary - for the first 10 Pages... Argh! This is Crap! But... i don´t think that our (The German)educational system is much better though...

Neither can I. Verse without Mal? No way!

Not to be a naysayer, but execs behind the upcoming CW have said the network will target the youth and minority audience. And while I'm sure we have pleanty of young and/or minority browncoats, I think that just means we'll be seeing more WB style teen dramas, and UPN style sitcoms - but all on 1 network. Yeah.

Huzzah! I'm all in. I think the WB owes Joss, seeing as all of his shows put that station on the map and kept it afloat. If there's no Buffy, there's no WB plain and simple. Buffy brought in the Smallville and Gilmour Girls viewers. If someone (I'd do it but I'm already behind at work, it'll have to wait for me till spring break as I'm a teacher) is willing to find out who we need to contact, I think a cojoined snail/e-mail attack would be fairly effective. There are thousands of us. Remember the lesson learned from Bug's Life and the Three Amigos? Good sewing saves the day! No...wait...there's more of us than there are of them. Yeah, that's the lesson. Ignore the sewing part.
