Well I got 4 of my friend hooked. I loaned the DVDs to a buddy and he ... not so legally copied them, but he swears he is going to buy a set when he gets the money. 2 of my friends saw the first 5 eps (i was watching them when they came over) and are eagerly awaiting the amazon shipment. So I did the best I could to spread the word. I sickened both the partitions, and 3 of my biddies have too. I hope to see someone pick it up.

I will keep spreading the word, and hopfully things will work out soon.

P.S. - I had NO idea that the gibberish they where speaking was chinese. I just that it was gibberish. Nice touch.

now you know how to say such useful things as, "Understand?" "Shut up!" "Filthy fornicators of livestock," and of course, "A baboon's ass crack," in a foreign language.

Same here.

And I agree with the other poster about the unaired script "Dead or Alive".

If they ever brought "Firefly" back to TV, they should finish off the first stinking season (the one cut short) -- even though the movie takes place after it. They could do the "Dead or Alive" script, and other things with both Book and Wash.

Seriously, I doubt they'd do that. But that would be my wish.

Then, if "Firefly" got renewed for another season, they could start that "after" the movie.
But any initial renewed TV manifestation of "Firefly" (in my opinion), should finish off the first season, first.

Fat chance of that happening, though.

Best thing to do is to keep writting and keep spreading the word. Tell everyone u know about the show get them hooked and tell them to write a letter or drop an email to the scifi channel. I know i have sent three now.

Keep the firefly flying.



I agree 100%! Hmmm... maybe they'd consider dropping Stargate Atlantis to make room *crosses fingers hopefully*.

P.S. I got my best friend and both of his brothers hooked on Firefly. I lent my DVD set to another friend (she's probably watching it as I write). My folks are hooked on it, along with my brother (who, at five years old, likes to threaten me with the chain of command *shudders in fear*).

You're welcome on my boat. God ain't.

Chris,
I'll be right here with you, fighting no matter what and being an unreasonable believer too.

You made me cry, but in a good way

I love this Browncoat family I belong to and I'm proud of being a part of it!

I'll hold 'til Mal gets back.

" You hold. Hold til I get back." Mal

Hi!

Just signed up and figured this is as good a place as any to say my first hellos.

What's Firefly? While I saw the movie when it came out, I didn't really know until a couple of weeks ago. I thought the movie was pretty good but hadn't heard much about Joss's 'other show.' I wasn't really inspired to pursue it.

Then I found the series on DVD real cheap the other week. I thought I wouldn't lost much in buying it...I was actually expecting a mediocre show. Man was I wrong! My bf and I have been watching a couple of eps every night and finished it on the weekend. It was really painful when I realised we only had one or two eps left and then there'd be no more, ever. (Really glad to find this place and see there is some hope after all, woo!)

I must say, I really regretted watching the movie before the series. The death of certain characters didn't mean a whole lot to me at the time. It was sad growing to love them in the series and knowing that they'll die.

Mostly, my bf and I couldn't believe the show had been cancelled. I was sad and pissed off. I can't say I envy you guys who saw it when it first went to air! That would've been much worse.

Anyway. I've already started pushing the series on people I think will be interested (sadly don't know many people who'll watch that science fiction stuff). Every sale counts though ;)

Now I think I'll explore this place some more...

Hey, now, I want Firefly to come back just as 'next person, but don't touch my Stargate Atlantis.

Btw, this is my first post to this forum. :) Been readin' you guys for a while, but usually read so much I'm too tired to post. (usually late late LATE at night when I'm on here)

Well, anyways, hello & how'd'ya do. I'm fine, thanks.

Welcome to the site & the fandom OmegaNine! Great to have you here amongst the faithful.

Thanks for giving the show a chance. It really does sell itself.

The best way to help the cause is to share the show & the movie w/ as many people as you possibly can. The more new people we introduce to the series on DVD & the movie the better. We need to sell as many movie DVDs as we possibly can to have a hope of a sequel. Successful sales of the movie DVD will convince Universal to greenlight the sequel. A successful sequel gives us all sorts of possibilities as far as where we can go from there.

Keep flyin'!

Welcome Pallas and Ladyfinger007

We're happy to have you here

please tell everyone that you can about Firefly & Serenity and have them join up. The verse is a big place and can hold a lot of fans.

I'm doing what I can to have friends and relitives pick up the FF banner but sometimes it isn't easy. Our oldest son thinks that everything his parents are into has to be the most uncoolest things on the planet.He refuses to watch the show and thats fine with us. But I do have an ACE in my back pocket, his girlfriend. She has agreed to watch the show with his mom and I and if she does it he'll likely sit in. Kind of a crafty way to bring him in but I think Cap Mal would give us a thumbs-up
