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.
I'll instigate it. Just give me the correct e-mail address to send it to.
Please to give me the resources to make this happen, good people! I can be belly belly good at cranking out fanmails!
and by that I mean emails, though the snailmail addy above may get some trade as well....
"Kaylee, find me that kid takin' a dirt nap with baby Jesus; we need a hood ornament"

Just a thought but is it possible that someone from the corpoartion (CW that is), would see us posting these crafty ideas? Perhaps I'm just cautious. But ya know, if we were all really Browncoats conspiring about a plan to take down the 
Alliance, putting it on the Cortex would well, make things more interesting...for lack of a better word. I would think if they were considering picking it up someone would scout the net for what fans are saying(possibly those who hate it as well if any Browncoat has left em standin that is). Either way, I'm sending my letter out tomorrow and letting my friends know of the scheme. One way or another I'm determined to do what I can to help Firefly/Serenity continue.

did anyone else like the premise of "Wash has a thing"?
Select to view spoiler:
That thing being a big-ass harpoon in his chest, yes? Not to be confused with a big ass harpoon.
I hope Joss's pesimism is a result of his hope rather than any sort of bitterness ie The way we all deny we'll get into our first choice college because we hope so badly that we do. Joss will do what he wants and I'm sure I'll still admire the heck out of him either way.
SCREW A SPIKE MOVIE! I WANT A JAYNE MOVIE!!!

Keep in mind, many network execs, as well as the heads of variouse "save-our-show" campaings have said several times that emails are virtually worthless - simply because one person could conceivably be sending in hundreds of emails that still only represent 1 viewer.
Snail mail, on the other hand, is regarded much more highly. Preferably hand-written letters, as a printed letter can be duplicated many times, even to different addressees, with little effort. A hand-written letter sent via snail mail is said to represent potentially hundreds of individuals in the minds of corporate execs, as the theory is that for every one person willing to put pen to paper, there are a hundred too lazy (or busy) to do so.
I speak as someone who wrote many a "Crackers DO matter!" letter to the Sci-Fi channel in support of Farscape.
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

I represent hundreds...? Ooh, that's a scary thing.

uh oh I've created a monster huh?
I personally don't know any email address and would be happy to join the campaign if someone can find one.
It sorta reminds me of Mal getting Ath to let him dance with Inara. So, it should be right up our alley.

Are you all certain this was really Joss. If so .... did he watch his last movie Serenity cause he should have paid attention to the fact that he ruthlessly killed Book and Wash but yet makes reference to both characters as part of this fantasy future episode. Just smells funny to me.

"If anything happens.... you takes this ship and you come and resuce me."

Well, I'm a Chiefs fan, so I'm quite willing to place the blame with you.
...
What?? I'm a Chiefs fan!
Luckily -- before I start a football jihad -- I'm not sure any blame needs to be placed. As far as I could see, Mr. Whedon only debunked current rumors. I didn't figure we'd get our shiny new series immediately, what with everyone having so much on their respective plates.
I didn't see a word about "never again". I choose to be blissfully oblivious to negativity and selectively vigilant of our esteemed Mr. Whedon's witty hints.
In other -- less adverby -- words, I wanna see what I wanna see. Heh.

This is all I have to say.
"You're fighting a war you've already lost."
"Yeah, well I'm known for that."
As are all Browncoats. It doesn't matter how many people say you've lost as long as you keep fighting.
