Anyone else who can't give up, just can't, write
to this person. I intend to beg shamelessly - but
politely of course.
Well, then, if we're going to throw caution to the wind, I guess I'll dive in and swim. If you can't do something smart...
I'm sending my letter out tomorrow. I hope it helps.

Anything Joss himself posts means nothing.
It's funny, fun to read, and I want more.... but don't believe it. He's the sinical bast*rd we know and love. I love reading his posts about killing puppys and klingons that arn't aliens but are still klingons, how can you not?
As for the rumor, one thing that hasn't been addressed is the actual sighting of Nathon, Gina, and Summer leaving the CW building.... Did THIS actully happen?

That would be me. Never even heard of Firefly until I wandered into the video store a few days agp when I was sick and just happened to pick up Serenity. Never even heard about it or Firefly. After watching Serenity I went right back to the vid store and rented the TV series. To my utter disappointment there were only four disks. I watched all of them in two days. In fact, I have yet to return them. At any rate, I went from having no clue about Serenity or Firefly to seeing all episodes to posting on this website in three short days.
Truly a series that was dropped way before it's time. Now I can't get that fricking theme song out of my fricking head. I love that FF ballad though. I've been singing it in the shower and now my girlfriend even sings it and she hasn't even seen the move or any of the tv episodes.
Anyway, I now have the FF bug and am so fricking pissed that no-one has picked up this incredible series.

Oh yea. You'll fit in here just right. Don't forget to pick up your regulation issue brown coat.

[B}1) In order to keep the show cost efficient, we would get rid of a few things we don't need, like spaceships, floors, and Jewel. (You thought I was gonna say 'costumes', didn't you? Porn guy.)
2) Nathan is busy making movies, but since I don't want new cast members, everybody in the cast would just move over one. Jewel (she's back!) would play Mal, Ron would play Kaylee, Morena would play Book, and so on.Quote:
WAIT!
What's this about Jewel being back?
Did she ever go anywhere?
i know she went to maui at the beginning of the year.
Is that what joss is talking about?
It get that it's humorous. I just don't quite know what's fact and what's fiction.
if only the man would devote his entire life to making more episodes of firefly, or a movie or something.
oh wait. He already did that?
So what was he saying about Jewel?

In the first point that you quoted Joss said Jewel had to go for budgetary reasons. In the second point he brought her back.

i love this 'verse in such a way i cant describe it, i never thought i would belong to the cult of sci fi tv and letter writing campaigns but its not evena choice for me now.
i dont really know if it will ever exist on tv anymore, my main hope is for some bid damned sequals or prequals, but anything that shows a flurry of activity from the browncoats can only be a good thing, whether it happens or not at least we can show that we have the numbers, that there IS an audience for this

My point exactly...notice Joss didn't address this point (the first news item) at all. Similar "sightings" were overlooked or debunked leading up to the BDM. I am not believing this rumor (and that's what it still is) blindly, but I am also not falling for Joss's wordgames again.
The Bottom Line is that Kristen at E-Online would have little to gain from posting an unsubstantiated "sighting" about a defunct tv show's possible revival. Hell did she even know about Firefly before her post?
Time will tell if Joss is being Joss.
We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back...wait what's that on the horizon?

someone on the firefly lj community was saying that kirsten is a firefly fan herself. also that shes often got facts wrong in the past so im not sure how reliable her source was. this isnt to dicredit her as a writer, its just that in dealing with the world of celebrity gossip, a journalist is bound to get mis fed information or report things that arent true.
however, this hasnt been confirmed or denied to me so im still holding with my un-phased optimistim and im planning on being as loud and as visible about being a browncoat the best i can.
and its not just about being a hardcore browncoat, the newtowrks and studios need to know that regular people love this too. its ok hearing from the fanatics, but they need to know this has appeal and is ultimately sellable to all the good folks at home.
so letter writing and dvd buying for friends it is!

The funny thing is we can't find an address, website, email, nothing for CW. You really think they have a building already? What for? To hold the plants they plan to water someday when they move in and start working?
Now if they said "The UPN buildings" or something like that it might make sense. But as of right now I don't think there even is a CW building for them to have been leaving.
