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.
LOL so do we all start writing emails now or what zeek? lol i will if someone instigates!
LOL make a thread with joss's post and this quote its HI-larious.-----
***someone should make a MMORPG based on the 'verse!***
Geeze i want Firefly to come back!

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...
Is Kristin a fan? Maybe that's why she started the rumors...

Ain't. We. Just.

I kinda like the idea where we're not begging too!
Gabi, you are new and you haven't been properly greeted... so consider yourself properly greeted... we're glad to have you.
*hands Gabi a browncoat.. you'll need one of
these*
Post often, we love to talk as you see.

I'll instigate it. Just give me the correct e-mail address to send it to.

That's a great idea.
Put them in a position of having to choose between picking up the show, or turning away viewers (theoretically)loyal to the network before it even starts up.
I love it. I'm in.

Bless Joss and the 'verse through which he flies.
*sigh*
So, the rumor is de-bunkleated, for now. But that doesn't mean we quit, does it?
We be patient and wait it out.
Although, if Jewel plays Mal, and Ron plays Kaylee and Morena plays Book...
does that mean Sean plays Zoe, Alan is River and Adam is Wash? That could get really wierd....
(I sense a fanfic coming up....)

*puts on browncoat* Thanks for the digs. Reckon it fits like a glove.
I'm all for inundating CW with requests and I'd do so gladly if we could get sanctions for the action. We wouldn't want the ploy to backfire and turn-off the execs by being presumptuous. Once we have a clearer picture of how things are developing, we should go all out, but I conjure it wouldn't hurt to have a go-ahead.

oops, were we supposed to wait for someone to say
Go? Too late. I already mailed my letter.
Handwritten snail mail, so someone might even read
it. I went with the no-begging idea, think it's
a good one.
Who's supposed to say Go anyway? Can anyone do that?
"GO!"
