oh yeah... i've already got a copy of the BDS & BDM in a hermeticlly sealed time capsule buried for antropologist to study in the future - of course they will have to convert it to the cornel implant technology of the time or whatever shiny new gadget is available over at Universal Software Radio Peripheral Shack.... whatever

Ah, the old Churchkey, Wait, we are talking about the same thing right?

yes. I think I'll always love Joss and his work, and I spent enough money on merchandise to keep it in my mind for a pretty long while. :)

Such a great topic.
Look back at some of the stuff from
25 years ago and ask if it does anything
for you.
If Grampa handed you a series he'd been
totally in love with, which one would grab
your attention and which one would just look
stale, and full of dated attitudes and ugly
makeup/costumes on the women?
(On a side note, about a star rather than
a show: I'd seen quite a few still photos
of {spelling?} Rudolph Valentino, a HUGE
silent film star whose early death had made
countless women utterly despondent, and in
none of them had I seen the least hint of
what any of those ladies had found attractive.
Then I saw one of his films. Even in the
primitive medium he was dashing, feline,
most definitely temperature-raising...
I was stunned. The stills remain uninspiring. Have we a similar star today?)

Definately. I've never gotten into a creator as much as I have Whedon so I still see myself singing along with OMWF and cursing at people in Chinese when I'm much older and (somewhat) wiser than I am now...

There are still people who go bibbity over the earliest scifi tv shows and radio dramas, like Tom Corbett: Space Cadet. I think I've even seen cons for things like Commander Buzz Corey and the Space Patrol (High adventure in the cold dark reaches of space....) Can't say I blame them. Space Patrol is a great radio drama.
If those people still have that kind of passion after 50 years, why do you even question if there will be flans still out in the black? Assuming I don't kick it before then I know I'll still be there. Watching the show, watching the BDM, watching the fan films. And watching the sudden but inevitable sequels.

Firefly is also kind of unique in the snes that it's sort of timeless.
You watch the Star Wars movies, and the first three seem old and have a different feel then the new ones. (But they are classic, and the old ones are better anyway.) And sci fi from the 80's looks and feels different than today.
Firefly isn't the case. The verse is original enough that I think we won't ever look at it and cringe (like with the first season of Buffy). And the fact that it's old fashion western mixed with a unique sci fi setting doesn't hurt either.
I feel like I'm not very good at explaining what's in my head, so hopefully that makes sense.

damn right I will! Joss Whedon is probably the only genius writer of the twentieth century and he will be honoured as our generations shakespeare in the centuries to come! In fact five hundred years from now Simon will be quoting 'Whedon from earth that was'

Sure I will - I'm still laughing over movies like Airplane and Monty Python, and still enjoying Close Encounters of the Third Kind, etc. Firefly had stronger legs then those.
Plus, the plots, stars, characters, and 'verse are just ... too ... damn .. pretty.
