JAYSONAYCH,

Amigo, you just don't get it. Joss will NEVER have anything to do with those bastards. I'm quite sure he will resurrect a TV show only after the Fox TV options expire, however long that may take; or the options are bought out, but that is unlikely given the success of DVD sales for both endeavors.

I don't think anyone's said it before, but it would have been FAR better for the series if Joss had buried the axe and run the Firefly series on the WB, where it might well still be running.

I can't seem to get an email through to the 'readerfeedback@titanemail.com' addy. anyone having any better luck?

or did we kill their server?

EDIT: i just started looking closer at the responses: various email accounts are full at Titan, and each of them is sending me a bounce flag.
so...did WE fill their email boxes??

re: novels - I believe that Keith DeCandido, who wrote the first novel, is one of a number of people to have submitted a proposal to write one of the two additional novels that were optioned. The proposal were submitted to Universal, but nothing has been agreed yet.

My gut instinct is that Universal want to make the most of the 3-novel option that they have, and thus are waiting to see whether or not there will be a second (and third!) film made, as a novel of a film is likely to be a better moneymaker than just a novel.

Thanks for the info...I was kinda hoping for some more novels in the near future, but the fan fiction will be my solace...

Here's a preview of some of what will be in it -- the author was asking for ideas on what to include. Obvisouly, everything here was just suggestions, but it should give the idea --

You seem to be confusing two different companies http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=19318&m=276521#276521

It's been said many times before, but I'm not sure I agree. How good would Firefly have been if Joss had gotten only half as much money for it (which would still have left it an expensive show for the WB)? What would he have given up? Would he have chosen to limit himself to his original concept of the 5 person crew? How good would Firefly have been without Inara? Without Simon? River? Without Book?

I can't imagine it; fortunately, I don't have to. I'm glad Joss got US38Megabucks to make half a season of Firefly. Sure it would be great if it had continued at that level, but I'm unconvinced that more of a lesser show would be better.

I've done a run through of a few other threads and I don't think this has been meantioned before, but there again, so what if it has?

"Volume One". Seeing as we have a companion for Serenity already, and seeing as most often 'Official Companions' feature entire series of a show, not just selected episodes, does that suggest something to anyone?

wow, that's a shiny cover!

And the volume one thing is interesting...but I'm almost afraid to start getting any hopes up.

Has anyone else heard anything?

- Shiny. Let's be bad guys.
