"...A well-oiled companion....."

...erm...i just got an uncalled for mental pic...

..erm...

Yep. I wonder if they serve keish in the Special Hell?

Anyhow, disappointing as it is, it's still nice to hear from Joss Himself.

I'm babbling like a moonbrain.

I will wait until Joss says in a post, that the calvary has ridden in and we are getting a sequel or a new series, or a mini-series or a direct to DVD movie. I'm holdin'.

And I'll probably get my hopes up again and have them dashed again, but that's ok. I'm not gonna stop loving this show and characters and I'm not going anywhere.

" You hold. Hold til I get back." Mal

Yep, that sounds like my kind of stupid ;p

I don't care if I'm old and decrepid, aliens come and take over and destroy all our tv's, or hell freezes over first... I won't care if I have to wait to be a hundred and fifty and all they can get is Mal's left buttock on a stool playing the first three bars of the theme song. :P

You can take my hope when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

If you pay attention you'll see that for the purposes of legal and "dont put your foot in your mouth" practices, producers and actors will often say and maintain certain points of interest up until the exact second in which something is down on paper. Don't put too much stock in any one thing.

If someone saw them come out of that building, and there are whispers, no matter what the cast themselves say, it is a good sign. Of course they can't say anything; there's obligations. But the press can. And since this isn't exactly Star Wars Episode IX, i can't see this being started for the purposes of mainstream attention. Don't get your hopes up, but don't ye despair yet, either.

Definitely my opinion...lest we all forget Joss rambled similar inneuendo before he could officially announce the BDM. For me this is almost as good as Joss saying the series has returned. The CW must be careful not to announce their Fall lineup too prematurely.

While I don't think it is a done deal that the series is returning, I mentioned on another thread that a mini-series would allow the CW to gauge potential series interest, and I think that is the route they will take.

We need a Joss to Reality dicitionary...or a decoder ring (that would be cool)...notice he never says "we aren't coming back," he debunks a "Firefly spin-off" not Firefly/Serenity nor does he mention the CW by its correct name...semantics.

Just Believe.

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back...wait do you see that on the horizon?

Saw that comin'.

Glad Joss posted w/ the whole "official" word on the CW rumor. Figured it was bunk.

Keep the faith & keep flyin' browncoats. We just need to keep pushing that shiny Serenity DVD & convert more new people. Just got to have patience (just make sure you don't turn your back on her )

even though i tried not to get excited as i knew it wasnt really true i still feel squashed like a bug.

however joss has a way of telling us bad things and making it so damned funny that it softens the blow.

im refraining from reading too much into his words on the matter as they just casue arguments.

Reckon that's so, but I wouldn't trade being a browncoat for nothin' in the 'verse. It's been a bumpy ride for years now, but I would do it all again. I found this wonderful show, a great movie, and a great bunch of people here @ FFF.net.

While of course I'm disappointed that Joss didn't come right out and say that they were deep in negotiations about another season of Firefly, I'm not really surprised. CW's a brand-new station, and taking on Firefly is a financially risky option. That does NOT mean, however, that they won't do so at some point.

I'm looking at it this way: actions speak much louder than words, and thus far there have been quite a few words bandied about, most of them vague. So what? It's called deniability. The action that sparked all this brou-haha was three of our favorite actors strolling out of the CW offices. They were there for a reason. Now, whether we're all making Mount Everest out of a mini-mole hill (definitely a possibility), or CW actually was making noises about possibly making an overture to maybe bring Firefly back, I don't know, nor does anyone, except people who can't talk as long as they value their jobs.

Until I hear a flat-out denial of any further episodes whatsoever, until Joss tells us to hang up our brown coats and stop running ourselves ragged in an effort to recruit more folks to The Cause, I am just going to remain a naive, optimistic fool. To quote a previous poster: "They can have my hope when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers." Amen.

Bring on the naysayers then! I can take 'em...

There is another which states that this has already happened." - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

At this point, I think there's only one thing left to do... Kidnap Joss and the entire Firefly crew, forcing Joss to make endless phone calls until he gets back on TV and forcing the crew to act out fan scripts until the end of time. I've got some very strong rope we can use!

Joss is so clever and funny! It's wonderful reading his posts, even if they contain bad news. Or seem to contain it. Thanks for that, CABridges!

He must have to be so careful about what he says that he has to write like that to protect himself and the cast and everything.

You know, somehow just hearing from him is encouraging, and I think everything's going to work out just fine in the end.
