Joss' own words, "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty". I heard those words, and I believe in the message they carry. I,too, have only been a fan since Serenity came out, but I am not going to give up. I spread the word when I can, tell people about this shiny 'verse, and try to keep on top of the news where Firefly is concerned. There are fans on this board, still posting, that have been here since the beginning. Their hope has not flagged, and that renews the hope in me. I will not wishing, waiting, and doing my part until either Firefly comes back, or there are more movies...hopefully both .

Hold the line.
We'll be there beside you.

How do you know this?

Cause I would like to say Whoo-hoo, we are
into the black! but I thought no one knew
how the DVD sales have been going. It
supposed to be some sort of trade secret.

There was a story about the movie finally going into the black as the result of DVD sales. I'll find the web site and post the link. The movie + advertising cost about 49M. The domestic gross was 25M, the foreign gross was 13M, so the DVD sales had to top 11M to have the film go into the black. It did that about the second week in February. Since then, who knows? I would think all sales after that point were pure gravy, but what I worry about is the purple bellys holding onto the domestic gross number and saying there isn't the market. And Star Trek had 78 episodes to rerun. You just can't rerun Firefly the same way.

Here is the link to that story:

top.html

BTW, no one seemed to mention my Blake's 7 reference. Pirates, complex personalities, fighting an evil, civilizing empire. Not the same story, but similar themes. And although there was much talk over the years about a movie, or a new series, nothing doing.

Didn't Blake's 7 go on for multiple seasons? I'd love to see Firefly do that!

I agree with what CHRISTHECYNIC said. What we need's not hope (though that sure is a dandy thing to have): it's faith (or belief, if you wanna take a lesson from the shepherd). Suppose the numbers and articles and statistics don't look good. That's depressing as hell. Hard on the morale. But even if this thing fades away never to be seen or heard from again -- perish the thought -- would you really like to look back on it and say you didn't give it your all?

I watched serenity today, I swear I choke up every time. Watching everyone die, or come close to death. Then recover and get back on the job! This is the way I see it, and I assume everyone else does. The reavers, and the alliance are portayed as Fox, and Serenity is us, right now, keeping her in the air.

"Love keeps her flying"

I have been a Browncoat for a week, and a fan of Firefly for about a month. I can already see the family atmosphere you have all developed, that love brought us a movie. I plan to put in the same work.

Thank you for your work Browncoats, I love you all for your example. The storm is getting worse, but it will clear soon enough.
