I do know that after I've worked on a trouble-prone project for a long time, I tend to get a bit tired of the fighting. I want to finish the project to a decent stopping point, rest, regroup, and then see if / how I'm going to resume the project. Joss might be resting when it comes to the Firefly series hopes, or he may simply be in 'stealth mode' to keep the pressure lighter on himself and any potential business partner(s). I have absotively no clue.

Oh, and I don't feel im entitled to Joss's story. If Joss comes out and says "You know what, The story is over. I feel happy with where it is an im not going to presue it any more" I would stop hoping for firefly. I would of course be bumbed that Firefly would be no more. But I would not get Irate and start saying "Joss took *my* story away form me" no I would just lett it pass. Cuase its Joss's story, and he is just sharing it.
Your post didn't sound demanding, or outraged that you weren't being kept up-to-date, or anything extreme and possibly odd-glance-catching. (Thus far, no one in this thread has sounded anything other than in love with the 'verse, hopeful for more, and interested in any information that may happen to emerge...but not demanding or cranky.) I was just being a bit too general in my original reply. It's Lecturer's Disease. My teeth itch when various speculative fiction authors drop into that mode, yet I seem to inflict it on others readily enough.

Thanks! Apologies, though, for the length. (I've been AFK all weekend and am making up for lost time...)

All these repy's made me almost cry realizing there maybe never a series or movie but we can't think like that we're Browncoats never give up...actually didn't the Browncoats try to win but failed even they were on the right side,that kinda sounds like us Browncoats.But we should never give up.

Hi ubergeek, welcome to the board! 
The guys here have already given you the facts, so I'm just adding my voice to darkfly's cheerful war cry. It was a loooong wait between the series and the movie, but the movie happened. We do the impossible, for we are mighty. Or more correctly Joss does the impossible since he's the mighty one. We know that Joss, the writers, the actors and the crew all fell in love with the verse. If any movie were going to get that impossible sequel it would be this one.

Has anybody noticed the similarities between Star Trek and Firefly? Both were cancelled tv series that became movies. Star Trek has had - What? - Five series and going on eleven movies now? It took something like twelve years to get that first movie. For Firefly it took (I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong on this) I think two years. That first Star Trek movie SUCKED, and they overcame it. We have an awesome movie. I just had someone come up to me yesterday and tell me about how he saw Serenity. He only watched it because I won't shut up about it. He was not disappointed. The fan base will keep growing. I really feel that it is not a question of IF, but a question of WHEN.
Personally though, I don't want another movie. I'll take what I can get of course, but I would prefer either to continue the series or to have a mini-series. And I don't want to demand anything. I just want to give Joss Whedon a chance to finish what he started.

The only problem was the first Star Trek movie was very popular,not trying to put Serenity down but it didn't make that much money even though before it came out all the pre-screenings sold out in minutes or hours & it recieved excellent reviews especially in the UK every movie mag was giving it 5 stars apart from a few whic give it 4 stars.I think the reason it wasn't popular was actually partly Universal's fault they wanted to do something which no movie company does they tried to advertise by word of mouth instead of loads of advertising come on which option would get the most people into the cinema,it's pretty obvious.

There are some very good points made by all of the posts above. Like it was said Joss has been fighting for this show for a long time now. He may be getting tired. But we love the show as well so we're taking up the fight along with him. It's sad to think that a person can put so much of themselves into a work/project then be completely written off. It all came down to numbers. fox didn't have the viewer numbers and Universal didn't have the money numbers. Well I blame fox more that anyone. The viewer numbers were off not because ppl didn't like the show. It was only because they never found the show. It wasn't given a chance. Had there been a season two I think the Firefly series would have found it's audience and the viewer numbers would have increased by leaps and bounds. It makes me sad to know the cast and crew were given their death rites the night of their Holiday party.
Anyhoo now for a small victory. last night I was talking to my wife when my youngest son came in and said."Dad I'll watch some Firefly with you." I nearly dropped. We ended up watching the first dvd of the series and he loved it. Plans are to watch more tonight. We'll see what happens.
Z,out

That's the spirit but how old is your son cause not all the episodes are suitable for younger kids(like under 11).

My only frustration with the whole thing (and I'll not go in for doom and gloom in this thread) is that with only a couple of exceptions, the people that I've introduced Firefly to have loved it. They haven't become browncoat-wearing-fanatics like us, but they're definitely fans enough to go see a movie, were one offered. It's not the product that failed. It was the marketing.

Really, you think so? I can't think of anything in the series that is particularily unsuitable for anyone.
