I know far better than to wonder if it will come back, if that were possible, it would already be so.
Patience, GrassHoppa... Don't *wonder* if it will come back; KNOW that it will. It might not be back this year, or even next year, but it WILL be back. The Star Trek faithful waited a good 10 years to get their Big Damn Movie, and that led to ever more movies and TV spinoffs. Star Wars fans waited longer than that to get our prequels... and we probably shouldn't have bothered.
Mark my words: Serenity WILL fly again! Until then, we hold, and we never, ever lay down arms. You think we're beaten? We're just getting started. Our numbers may be small, but we ARE mighty, and we've already done the impossible once. No reason to conjure we can't do it again.

MC1: My BF lent me his DVDs and they sat on my shelf for about 3 months...then I watched them. In the space of 2 days. (This is a tired and familiar story to others on the site: just play along nice, OK?) Now he realizes the fan he's created. He merely liked the series and thought that I (a serious sci-fi fan) would like to "check this out".
Ooh, little did he know.
I, too was disappointed very much to know that the story "ended" there, but then the movie came out and it was so shiny!!!
Now, I want more story. Maybe I'm just a greedy Browncoat...
Anyhoo, you're not alone in coming in late (I just got hooked back in May of '05) but it seems to me that nobody has that "You're just jumping on the bandwagon" feeling.
If you're a Browncoat because you saw the show in it's run on FOX, shiny!
If you're a Browncoat because you saw the DVDs, shiny!
If you're a Browncoat because you saw "Serenity" and wanted to know more, shiny!
We're all just folk here.
Everyone I've met here has been friendly and helpful and no disagreements have come to anyone touching metal.
Well, been wanderin' a bit. You'll fit right in.

Great post MC1CSMO
I am just new here too. Where I live, by the time the series was shown, the news of its imminent cancellation was already known.
I loved Buffy and Angel, and was gutted when they ended, especially Angel since it was really starting to produce some great episodes, best end to a series ever though.
Anyway the show never really ended up being shown and I hestiated buying the DVD until recently. I bought the DVD and saw the movies and have been captured in the unvierse of Firefly. But Im glad fansites like this help keep the imagination and hope alive rather than just let a great show unfairly die

Here is my .02 for ya:
Yes, Firefly may be gone, but it still lives on in us, the fans. And to any Nay Sayers out there, if this were such a dead horse, why would there be Flanvention II planned for December?
What's Flan II?!?
Why Flan II is the sequel to Flanvention I, which was held this past December. A Convention for Firefly/Serenity fans the world over to converge in Burbank, California (use expedia.com) to spend a weekend with the cast and crew of Firefly/Serenity.
Nathan, Adam, Alan, Badger, and YoSafBrig have signed on to be there and I am sure others will sign on.
On a different note, being shocked that Joss kills off main characters? I may have not gotten into the whole Buffy thing, but I did start watching Angel and got a shock when Doyle was killed off in, like, the 3rd episode. Joss kills folks off. Its a key element to keep the series fresh, at least in my mind. I kept waiting for someone on Firefly to get bumped off... and I think we would have seen it, if allowed to go on. But that's a topic for another post.
Oh, and this is just my own pet peeve, so please forgive my ranting:
As to the whole Firefly On Demand post, forget it. Anyone who sends money in hopes of getting an episode here and there is kissing good money goodbye. That post is inteded to bilk you out of $$$$, pure and simple. It is insulting, aggravating and just plain stupid. I know that Joss has come out and said he doesnt know Ace Underhill, but this idea is still being kicked around in chat and posts...

I may have missed the boat, but I'm greatful to have joined, however late.
This is such a common thread, a thread that ties all fans of the series and movie together. Seems like we've lost a close friend, in fact 9 or 10 counting Serenity..... I have enjoyed the work of Joss Whedon since the first episode of Buffy - right through Firefly and Angel, all excellently different than anything i've ever seen on the small screen. It may be true that genius is often under appreicated, I know in the case of Friefly some tv exec was doing way too much blow to realize what they had. They cancelled one of the most innovative programs to come along in a while....
But, as long as there are fans that love the series it will continue, even if only as a fan site and place to tell tales of the great adventure. Just like the crew that became family on Firefly, the community of fans is like a family as well and it seems to me that our numbers are growing - i have to believe that some day our voices will be heard and 'the powers that be' will give Firefly the attention it deserves.
Until then.....i would really like to see some of the cast of Firefly in other works....i would pay just to see Jewel Staite eat strawberrys.... so if anyone knows of something that these actors are doing now, please let me know...
sorry - i was carried away - But WELCOME MC1CSMO to the club, and please hang around...we can use all the browncoats out there to keep the dream alive.

Well, here's another one! I saw the movie opening day, but it was the series on DVD that really pulled me in.
I always looked at the big shiny ships in the SF series, but I never thought I'd actually get on one, not the way the really serious fans do. I guess I was just waiting for the right one to come along.

She was talking to Book, but she could have been looking right out through the screen and talking to me.
And she was right.

Welcome aboard OTMA!
FollowMal will be along directly with your shiny brown hued coat (I'd give it to you myself...but she lashed my backside something fierce the last time I got into her storeroom without permission...and no matter what she tells you there were only THREE strawberries when I got there...but I digress).
It's a good thing you're gonna come with us...our board is the nicest!
We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back.
