You're right. Buying the DVD sets puts money in Fox's pocket, but the DVD sales numbers did help convince Universal to make the BDM to begin with. Boosting those numbers will only help the cause.

I would use the $19.86 priced series sets at Amazon.com & at Wal Mart to hook people then convince them to go by the BDM on DVD to put money in Universal's pocket & push for a sequel.

You're right. I wasn't trying to be argumentative, just clarifying.

I agree, the DVDs are better but I love those intros. Wish they were somewhere on the box set.
Think we'll ever see a special edition box set???

I HOPE we'll see a special edition of the boxed set with more cast commentaries!

And I HOPE we'll see a "Shiny Editon" of the BDM with an all cast commentary and lots of extras.
More, more more!

* Then in a stage whisper*
Then after sales of these shiny items reach more than all of the sales of every other scifi idea in history, they will make 2 more sequel films, and another series *voice getting louder now* and Nathan will win an Oscar for Best Actor and Joss will win an Oscar for Best Director and "Serenifly" will win Best Picture and *shouting now* the returning series will sweep the Emmys.... uh wait... that's all in my head, but it'd be pretty in real life, huh?

Well, just in case digital cable can tell what I'm watching, I'm gonna leave the set on and tuned to SciFi when I leave for work that day.

I've made some "special editions" of my guerilla marketing posters just for promoting the Firefly marathon. Please make use of the posters and min-posters to spread the word:

http://the11thhour.home.att.net

There are still a lot of people who don't know what they've been missing. Putting up posters, handing out the mini posters (always keep some with you!), or leaving them where folks can pick some up, will go a long way to bringing Firefly to peoples' attention. As great as it is to tell people about our shiny show, it helps folks to remember if they have something like a flyer to take away with them with the marathon info on it.

Getting good viewer numbers for the marathon will do lots of good things for Firefly/Serenity:

• Brings in new fans who will most likely to on to buy the DVD sets.

• Show that there continues to be an enthusiastic audience for FF/S.

• Helps strenghthen the possibility of having Firefly revived for television somehow.

Although getting a movie sequel would be awesome, movie making is such an involved and expensive undertaking... and then the result is around two hours of our 'verse. Whereas some type of mini-series on TV isn't as expensive for a studio and will give us even more hours of FF/S wonderfulness.

The upcoming marathon is a great opportunity to demonstrate how viable a property Firefly is. So anything we can do to help boost the numbers will be a great help.

It's sorta fun to watch it on tv the way it first came out. I like the DVD's better but tv is fun.

Buy Serenity with the new low priced ( on Amazon) DVD set of the show. Recruit with the movie and the series. Either way, Browncoats will be born.

Universal is who we are trying to interest the most tho. They can make a sequel if interested and they have a interest in SciFi where it's possible a mini series or tv movie could be made. Either way...they come first.

Oh and Universal owns NBC... Or NBC owns Universal. And NBC owns Scifi.

So watching the scifi channel during the Firefly times WILL tempt Scifi/NBC/Universal.

Tune in.

It's like how I have every single Bond movie but I still watch the marathons when they come on AMC and SpikeTV. Maybe its just that Im too lazy to switch DVDs, and I'll end up playing the Sims 2 on my laptop or something anyway.
