Hey everyone! Didn't know about Firefly until earlier this week - I'm probably the last sci-fi geek to learn about the best show TV has ever put out.

So, I'm seeing a lot about the big DVD purchase day coming up, but my question is - is there any follow up? Has there been any communication with Fox about it and have they offered to revisit Firefly if sales are huge? Just curious.

I should be studying for law school, but I still have a couple more episodes to go watch! Guess I'll need to by that brown duster coat I've been eyeing after all... damn, it'll be a bit warm for summer, but I'll just have to suffer through it.

Anyway, thanks in advance for the info. Seems like a nice board... maybe I'll stay a spell!

Hi, GoramnNewbie, and let me be the first to welcome you! I really think you'll like it here because we love to endlessly discuss our favorite show and everything related to it. We're glad to know you have your priorities right (definitely watch those episodes and enjoy every shiny moment) and glad you decided to join us. Post often and tell all your friends about this wonderful phenomenon that is "Firefly/Serenity."

FollowMal should be along soon to give you your own shiny browncoat and it might be better to wear that one until it gets a little colder where you are. We don't need any Browncoats passing out on us, unless it's because of the mudder's milk. (You'll probably get offered some of that, too.)

Again, welcome!

Welcome home, GorramnNewbie !

Better late than never, huh? And it is the best show ever made. We love it.. I can tell you do too.

SaveWash is right, you might want to wear this virtual 'coat until you get a mite colder where you live.

*hands GorramnNewbie a browncoat that fits and is just the right weight for the weather*

Yes, there is a followup! All summer long we're having the Summer of Serenity with shindigs, letter writing campaigns, lots of stuff and cons too.. they are the shiniest. There is no plans to contact Fox, but plenty of chances to contact Universal who helped us get our BDM... including a Big Damn Thank You on the anniversary of the release of the movie, a little something we're calling Serenity 'Versary.

Have you seen the charity screenings all around the world of the BDM?( Big Damn Movie) There might be one close to you that you can attend.
A chance to see the BDH's up on the big screen and to do good works at the same time.

There will be others along to welcome you, FloralBunny has the very finest strawberries.

We're glad you're here.

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

Gorramnewbie welcome. Been in this from the beggining and have to tell you sometimes it's a hard fight but it's a worthy one. I've just been suggesting other ways to help promote the upcoming events on the Local TV thread, hope you go read it and get some ideas. I used to give out the Mudders Milk at one point but circumstances kept me away from that job, however, for nostalgia's sake...

Mudders Milk: All the vitamens and crabs of your mothers best turkey dinner; plus 15% alchohol.

Mind the rug.

New to the verse. Been lurking awhile. Always thought my mother was the only one to use crabs in the turkey dinner. Planning on going to the Atlanta showing of the BDH.

Ya I know, I noticed the mistake *eeeee*

Well mailman welcome, and since you pointed out my obvious spelling mistake you get TWO pints of milk.

Mudders Milk: All the PROTEINS and CARBS of your mothers best turkey dinner; plus 15% alchohol.

Ya, been awhile since I gave any out, plus I may have been dipping into it a bit.

The Atlanta showing? Be sure to read the Local TV thread for ideas on how to spread the word.

Welcome here, we're weird.

Fox has gone on record saying that they will not stop anyone else from picking up the series meaning that my limited knowledge of laws against false advertising, combined with the lack of fine print, says that the series could come back if anyone wants to make new episodes.

Unfortunately no one does.

On the movie front is it more simple, but still not looking good. Get people to love the show, get them to buy the movie, which you'll want to pick up yourself. Joss won’t give up hope, but unless he gets a call from universal saying they want another movie that doesn't mean much.

We need to make them think it's profitable to make a new one. We need to convert people, we need to up DVD sales and we need to make noise.

A lot of people seem to be giving up just because it looks like a lost cause, the thing is it has always been a lost cause. We got that series from the lost cause, we got a movie because we believed unreasonably in that lost cause.

We've done the impossible (trust me on this, that movie was impossible, but it happened), and that means we're stubborn unreasonable people who don't just give up because we don’t stand a chance in hell of winning.

We've done it before, they took the sky and we took it back, they stopped us from flying but for two hours on the big screen there we were, still flying. We can do it again, just have faith, just believe.

Spread the word.

On a different subject here you will find ... something special, shiny if you like, you'll find people who love what you love, people who will take you in, who will listen to what you have to say and care about you as well, you'll find people who will be there for you, you'll find a family, and you're a part of it (like it or not.)

Welcome home.

Welcome home, GNewbie (#21374) and MManx (#20656 -- where ya been all this time?)
Yes, we are weird.

The coats always fit, thanks to FM and her virtuality.

I'm all for crabs in the Thanksgiving Dinner, but
possibly that comes from living at the shore.

We also have lots of lovely strawberries just hanging there, ripe for the picking. I've been out since early morning, loading up on the things, and here's a big bowl of them.

Shimmerwine is in the fountain at the far end of the buffet, should you tire of the Mudder's brew. Wife soup in the kettle, nearly done.

Spread the Firefly love!
