Well I'm a new guy here(Firefly fans are still being converted to this day)so this question may be redundant or already discussed. I was just curious as to why Sci-Fi wouldn't pick up any form of the "Firefly" universe? It seems a sure fire success for a cable network. I'm sure it would get at least 6 million viewers, plus they would get rights to DVD sales.

Godd question and one not easily answered. I would think it's because the movie didn't do that well in the theaters and their waiting to see what happens with the DVD's.

It's all about the dollars. Firefly is not the cheapest thing you can fill a prime-time hour with, so you have to be pretty sure it's going to bring in more revenue than it costs to make and air.

So far, we Browncoats are an obsessive and dedicated bunch, but we're not a mass movement. We need to demonstrate that we represent a big and lucrative market.

Keep spreading the signal. That's the best strategy we have.

By the way, love the rhythm in your subject line. SciFi comply for FireFly? My my!

What if we staged a protest, or a march? You know, get all the browncoats we can and march from one point to another. Carry big signs that say stuff like “Relight Firefly” and “Serenity will fly again”. I’m out in Utah and don’t really have the connections to rally all the browncoats, but maybe someone else in a better position that I... Aww I’m just throwing out ideas. Maybe though. I mean that’s what everyone else does when they want to get something done, or at the very least recognized. Just remember, my idea.

We could just take a network hostage and demand that they relight Firefly and then we'll let them go...

If that doesn't work then at least we would have some publicity. Remember any publicity is good publicity.

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

And by the way, I'm not being serious.

Hey if it worked in the movie "Airheads" than it can work for us too!!!

Hmmm... taking a whole network hostage... maybe we could find a way to jam the satellite feed.

I agree. SciFi has resurrected Battlestar Gallactica and has the many spinoffs of Stargate. Why not purchase the greatest scifi show ever...FIREFLY? It makes perfect sense to me. My prediction is that SciFi will Comply in a couple of years. Mark my words. "Firefly will fly again!"

Yeah I agree even the re-runs for Firefly got pretty good ratings. This is where I first saw Firefly and became an instant fan.
