I have a dream...., but first a question...

Does anyone know if this is the correct address for 20th Century FOX HQ?:

Twentieth Century Fox Television
10201 West Pico Blvd
Building 88, Room 30
Los Angeles, CA 90035

If so, I plan on taking a vacation around mid to late June and wanted to know how many Browncoats would actually meet me in L.A. to picket/protest (to bring back our favorite show) out front of the building for a solid week. My goal is actual media attention, which would probably mean at least 200 people who would stay the whole week. People have posted about the effectiveness of writing a letter and the time it takes but this would have a good impact, I think. Anyone game for this or am I just out of my gorram mind?

So many years after the cancelation? I'd imagine that you'd just be considered a fringe element and not be given any consideration beyond that.

It's nice to know that people are still willing to fight to get the show back, but who about something a little bit less radical.

I figure the fan base has grown bigger then ever since the BDM....and I personally wouldn't be a Browncoat if that movie never came out. What better time to re-light firefly when our numbers our at the there highest(and most profitable for networks/ratings). Maybe its extreme but being normal scares me.

It might make local news, but it's LA and there are a billion local news stations.

No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.

Hey there Muddersmilk302. You are my kinda stupid! And I mean that with as much love as possible. I'm in Baltimore, and if I had any vacation time coming, and any money to go, I would be right there beside you.
I think you are right. Now would be the best time to strike while the BDM is still fresh in their minds. I think we need to start getting extreme if we want the show back. I have sent my letters and my e-mails. I am currently working on trying to build a letter writing base web site, just for form letters and addresses and such, but I ain't all that computer literate, and so it's slow going. I could possibly purchase a few hundred buttons for all of the participants to wear and hand out while they are there. I could UPS them to you, to try to do my part. Keep me posted on your recruiting progress.

gotta say, sounds like an excellent idea. fanatical, yes, as has been pointed out- but personally i that that is an *excellent* trait :) not to mention the fact that browncoats in general are a bit more fanatical then other fanbases.

unfortunatly, due to the fact that i am all of 15 yrs old and therefor lacking both parental permission (a damned nusience) and money, i can't go, but it songs like a real good idea to me.

on another note: the topic of this thread is "browncoat rally call" which brought to my attention taht we don't really ahve any call... which is to say, as far as i can remember, nowehre is there mentioned some sort of battlecry (which is a little problamatic for my subconcious, as i don't ahve anything to yell in my shiny foxslaying dreams). does anyone have any ideas? (i did consider "bwaah!" but i've tried it a cuple times, it just doesnt have any particular ring to it)

Sorry, but I don't think it's the way to go.

Joss has said he will never work with Fox agian, and I do believe him, so, even if for some magic reason they agreed, why would he?

I believe the way to go is to rally in front of the headquarters of Universal for a sequal.... and if you want small screen, have a signing raly in front of the CW headquarters.

This indeed is fanatical, and is most certianly not my kind of stupid. I really don't want to be lumped in with this.

After all, once a group of people gets known for being fanatical, there's no shaking it.

This isn't some, now we are a bunch of crazies but later people will see the light thing. It is permanent.

And if people see us as that, then anything that we have to say will be discarded, period.


Point of fact, to make something happen, you have to do what you know will get noticed by a large amount of people AND instill enough respect for people to support you.

Sure this little stunt might get the former, but it certianly will not acheive the latter. You'll all end up a water-cooler joke at F*X.

Try to think of something that'll get there attention. Like, oh I don't know, proving that there is a large market for this stuff.

well, dome decent points on the danger of fanatacism i'll give you that; my take on this (and maybe im quite wrong, this is just what i got from it) is that it wouldnt neccesarily be done with the intention of some sort of immediate gratafication, or even notice, but rather that its a way to fight back, a way to DO something, even if its not that helpful, realisticly. but i dunno maybe it was purely in hopes of drawing media attention and i've gone and twisted it to my own ideas again :)
