I get your point. You miss mine. You're reading something into the quote that isn't explicit. You may be correct, but you may not be correct. And it's not fair to accuse media outlets such as SCI FI Wire of "shoddy journalism" or "misreporting" when they simply report facts or direct quotes without reading into them what you see. That's not their job. Their job is to report what is said and not what isn't said.

No offense, but if you really believe that I got some prime swampland for sale

I dont think we are reading into it at all, its the way Joss talks that you HAVE to really listen to what he is saying and journalist most certainly skew stories in the interest of selling it.

He clearly states he wants to tell more stories in the same universe as Firefly, so it doenst matter what he calls the new show... it will still be Firefly in the eyes of many Browncoats.

I think your confused on semantics, we say we want Firefly to return, but thats just a name we use for clarity... we cant say we want Serenity to come back then no one will get it.

Firefly as we know it in the first season is gone, we know that already... but if you read what Joss says he clearly states the universe may return cuz he has more stories to tell. If we get a few of the original actors then it will be Firefly for the most part.

So call it Firefly or Serenityville or Jaynes Mountain or whatever, it will still be the same... pretty much

I can't quite figure out why everyone is so angry at this guy for what he's trying to do. Seems to me that he is putting his money where OUR mouths are. I've heard tons of fans claim that they would love Firefly in any form and that they would pay per episode to get the show back in some downloadable format...that's exactly what this guy is proposing to do.
sheesh...sad as it is, the more time goes on, the more bitter and angry this Browncoat community seems to get.

Joss also did not Rule out "Firefly 2- the Electric Bugaloo". He just stated Firefly as we know it is gone

Select to view spoiler:

obviously since Book and Wash Are dead

. The next tv series could be about a second civil war in the 'verse with our beloved ship in the center of the story.

Joss has ruled nothing out, he has just stated whatever he does next in this 'verse will stand alone.

Only the half mad are wholly alive!

A fast talker, stretching the truth and trying to sound like an insider, all the while trying to compile a database of personal information on a known demographic. My personal take on the Browncoat mentality is do, don't talk. Work out the deals in private, and not until you've got something to show for yourself do you go public and get all blustery.

Last thing this fandom needs is getting false hopes fanned by some snake oil salesman.

I agree. I would rather wait and work for an icarnation of the 'verse that has the passion behind it than some cheap nock arround with a "bottom line".
