One of my favourite dreams is about some filthy rich dude such as Bill Gates falling in love with Firefly so much that he buys Fox's rights and gives Joss and the crew a blank cheque to make many many more episodes... HEY! Its a dream! and its mine!
Waking up is kinda depressing..

World Firefly Day...coordinated with the other fansites. On that day, whatever day it may be, everybody needs to something...ie...send email to Universal. Just throwing it out there, but it needs a day where all can unite to make a statement...even if it does very little, it will do alot for us. Just have to try, thats all that can be asked.

Maybe it could be coordinated to go with the promo for the HD DVD of Serenity? I'm sure there has to be some kind of campaign to promote Universal's first HD DVD, right? Maybe they'd even be willing to co-operate with the fans to some degree - after all, it's publicity. (But I kinda doubt it.)
Just a thought.

They might smile really wide if we all said we were going to buy a copy on the release date, but don't think they'd do much beyond that.

teh best thing folks can do besides by the dvd's is convert people, print flyers give them to your local comic book store, try to arrange big screen viewings join your local browncoats and star raising a ruckus.
The Houston Browncoats are sponsoring this years LoneStar Shindig at Apollocon which is a local scifi/ fantasy / horror convention. We are scheduling a bunch of fun activities including possible screenings of Firefly and serenity that will be open to all con goers, there will also be overlap panels with other genres and other shows which is that much more exposure for our show.
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

I had a similar dream starring another jerk. And you know what? Surfing around in the internet i found this silly little website:

Now guess, what i am going to do?!
A.
"Oh Dragonbreth! Gilthorpial!" he yodeled, waving his cleaver around like a madman. He lunged at the nearest wraith with his unwieldly sword. "Banzai!" he screamed. "No quarter asked or given! Dam* the torpedoes" Taking a vicious swipe, Stomper missed his mark by a good yard and tripped on his scabbard.

'It... kind of hurts my feelings that you would act like none of us here have done anything.
Talking about what I'd like to see in another season or movie is a good way to get my fix, you know, since it hasn't happened yet, but that doesn't mean that's all I do.'
AND I SAY...
I was worried about this. All the frenetic newbie activity and then stepping on the lifers' collective tootsies. Please, please don't take umbrage. I for one am flabbergasted at the amount that has already been achieved by the fans. Awestruck. Honestly.
BUT...
what's incredibly frustrating is to come into this battle in the middle, when the first strike already achived so much...and then to be left unsure as to what the next move should. I like action. When I love something this much (beyond the magnificence of the show, the idea that something being revived by pure love tickled me some), I want to do something. Buying stuff and using market power just seems a little passive, effective though it may be.
CPR VS NECROPHILIA?
I'm with Maxrimstan. Organisation, and a GOAL. So yeah, I think we need a wee sign from Mr Whedon as to what the desired action should be. I worry somewhat that a kind of closure was reached with Serenity (not in terms of plot/characters/stories ...for the crew/cast etc. and their relationship with it. Did they move on? Do they want to move on? Do THEY want it to continue? Doubt is a killer.)
SO...
(a)Market sales are well and good. But never EVER underestimate mainstream publicity. A worldwide event would be amazing. I love the Browncoat gatherings. Major co cordination would just be cool.
(b)Do we even know if anyone in position of influence has acknowledged/recognised the activity on this site yet? Anyone seen any press?
(c)A Word from the Master. Greenlight the action. Just give a SIGN that you're still up for this fight to continue. So many people holding. I shouldn't be doubting, but I for one just need a glint of hope that the angels are going to come.

P.S. So sorry for ranting. I've just been so darn antsy!
