Okay. A couple weeks ago my dad brought home the complete set of Firefly and the movie. He heard it was good, so he went out and bought it. I decided to give it a shot, and I fell in love with it. The only bad thing is.. I don't have anything left to watch and SO many questions. How do I become a "browncoat" and voice my opinion on why it should come back? Is there anything I can do? It is slightly upsetting that it was dismissed.. it is so catchy and entertaining. I would watch it every week. What can i do?

Bitch, moan, whine and fervently wish for something ain't never gonna happen, preferably voluably and with other people as pissed as you are. Other than that, nothing.

Or pills! I prefer them.

ironically enough I am learning about Bitter Bierce in school at this very moment. Doesn't suit you. I prefer a method that actually DOES something. sitting on my butt pissing and moaning doesn't get me anywhere.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

right, but the fact of it is that there isn't some one thing that we all COULD be doing, which would "work"- i mean, we've tried everything, and of course we will continue to do so (buying merc, writting letters, etc), because thats sorta the only hope, but the fact of it is there is nothing that can be done that will yeild immediate results.

I just finished watching the series the other day. I am completely new to this. So, basically, I am not doing anything. You mentioned writing letters. To who? Where? etc. I am not expecting immediate results.. i would just like to be one more person to fight this battle. Sorta like Mal.

Independents half the Alliances size. Did it stop him? Hell no. Gave him reason to fight harder.

The best thing you can do is spread the word, get more people to watch and buy the series and movie. These execs know only one language, money.

You're "learning" about Amrbose "in school"? Wow, the worst way you could possibly be introduced to him. Ambrose Bierce should be read with distinct pleasure, a fine cigar and a good bottle of cognac, boy. Read him when you've grown up and more reflective. He's an entirely wasted resource on children. Partake Mencken instead, he can be read profitably at an earlier age. He'll make you exhilerated to be alive.

First off welcome. You are already a Browncoat just by being here and loving the show (really just loving the show is enough.) Upthread is a link to places to write to and other advice on what to do to spread the word and support the 'Verse. Beyond that don't give up hope every day more people discover the 'Verse and in time Serenity will fly again.
