I read it as more along the lines of "I'll only do the show if the proper resources are in place and I have doubts as to CW having the willingness to provide those resources." Maybe I'm wrong and I hate to put words into another persons mouth (particularly puting words into the mouth of somebody who is much better at words than I am) but that's the vibe I'm taking away from this.
And hey there is still good news. We will be getting more comics and there still is hope for a Serenity sequel of some form. Sure I'd prefer a new series, TV is Firefly's native medium after all, but movies are fun to watch as well.

No, it's my fault. I'm a Raiders fan. No head coach will touch us, not even one who is DESPERATE to get a head coaching job in the NFL. We can't do anything right. We even took Randy Moss from superstar to superlame. We screw everything up. Just lose, baby.
Anyway, I enjoy reading posts from Joss. He's really funny and he has a talent for telling us the bad news in a good way.

He said on the commentary in the DVD that he liked the small screen as well as the big...

Hello All,
Here's my take on this. Instead of being down in the dumps our rumor was smashed why don't we keep doing what we are doing to push for more Firefly/Serenity? No point in fretting over what we can't control. But maybe we should be flooding CW with e-mails and letters to let them know we are loyal to the show and will do what we can to get more Firefly. The fanbase is still growing, and it seems whoever watches it for the first time becomes addicted for life. In the mean time, gather more fans, buy the dvd's and keep spreading the word to everyone you know. I think there is hope, we just need to be patient and never give up!

Anyone else who can't give up, just can't, write
to this person. I intend to beg shamelessly - but
politely of course.

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

I'm new here, but I have to agree with GrimJack in regards to Joss's post. Belief is our strongest ally. From everything I know, it was the belief of the fans that got us a movie and has kept this, our beloved 'verse, spinning.
I believe.
However, while our belief in continuation may, quite possibly, never be realized, we need not believe but rather KNOW that the SereniFly 'verse has become too powerful to just fade away without a word. As GrimJack said, we hold. We hold until they get back.

I like the idea of begging and all, but how about a more devious route? I think we should write to them and say how happy we are that they chose to revive Firefly. Saying we are now their biggest fans and we can't wait for their network to hit our tvs so we can tune in and throw out or remotes because we'll never need to change the channel again.
It's much easier to say no to a begging request than to tell someone that they're wrong about watching their channel.
"No, you're mistaken. You shouldn't watch our network, because we didn't pick up Firefly. Sorry about the misunderstanding."
No one wants to say that.

I've seen the commentary--yes, he did say that. I've also read alot of comments he's made in interviews about what he went through during the making of Firefly. It was a struggle for him to tell his story his way. Creative control was not entirely in his hands--I'm not a writer--but I can tell you that I'd be LIVID if I'd have to deal with what he's had to deal with. Also, when I say 'perhaps' in regards to Joss--I'm not putting words in his mouth--that's why the 'perhaps' is there. It's to bring out the hypothetical aspect to the thought I'm presenting--or just the thought that's coming out of my @ss--however anyone wants to take it--lol.
For the record--I want as badly as the rest of you to see our show back on the little screen. I'm just trying to see things from what might 'perhaps' be Joss' point of view having to deal with all the politics of hollywood--from having read his own comments.
Cheers.

LMAO! That is truly a grand and devious idea! *snerk* And like all the best evil plans, you can always claim total ignorance and blame it on Kristen's rumours ;p I can't really see a worst-case scenario there...
