This thread is becoming a place where FollowMal and I each hand off the pom poms and do a duo cheerleader thing. The view count goes up each day, but not much in the way of posting from new folks, or stories about participating in this endeavor.

Guerilla marketing can sometimes be a lonely pursuit.

I borrowed one of the banners and posted it on my live journal if that makes you feel a tiny bit better :)

I've been spreading the word I guess I'm just a little bit too quiet about it and I'm new hear so haven't posted much.

11th Hour,
I've been checking the thread because I love your little comments about each episode. I have been sending the episodes to several friends, but it seems everyone is really busy right now. They tell me they haven't had time to watch them yet. I know they will love them when they do.

I did just get an e-mail from one friend, and this is what he said, " I finally got to sit down and start one yesterday and I've finished the first and the second show. They're really catchy and I have a feeling they may become a little bit of a school distraction (in a way that I don't mind at all). I get a real kick out of the western theme to the show including the twangy western soundtrack. So far my favorite part is the shoot out in Train Job when they go to sell their stolen goods to that old lady and also the scene where the Captain just walks on to the ship and shoots the guy holding River hostage. Firefly is a real treat. I have a feeling my Dad would really like the show so I'm
going to have to take all of my episodes home so he can watch them. He likes characters like the Captain with the whole tough guy/ good leader personality."

A seed has been planted, and it's already going to be shared. It might take awhile for the word to spread, but it will. I read on some site that there is a campaign to have everyone write to Universal on September 30th (the anniversary of Serenity premier) to ask for a sequel. I'm telling all of my new Firefly friends to write!

Thanks very much for posting and supporting the endeavor! Good to know that folks are taking the initiative and participating in this campaign. Every bit we do helps and will add up.

Well folks, here we are, the final day of Firefly Fortnight...

Today is Objects in Space

Joss' existential Firefly episode. And because it is such a personal exploration for him into the deeper realms of the human experience, the story centers around River... and her feet...

Okay, more than that.

This story has beautiful and surreal passages; and Summer Glau's ability to inhabit River's intensity of awareness borders on the preternatural. River's connection to the world reaches levels far different than the ordinary. It's her intense connection to everything that ultimately causes her to be disconnected from a normal existance.

She feels everything

... and it's making life for her, and the others on Serenity, so very hard.

At a critical juncture, a dangerous and surprising element, in the form of a bounty hunter, is added to the mix. River's place on the ship, and her relationship to the crew, is tested... and we are again given a glimpse into River's surprising abilities.

And every frikken time I see this ep, I get teary eyed at River's expression of sacrifice for the sake of the crew.

A sublime, scary, heart-wrenching, and ultimately very satisfying work of art... expressed in Joss' inimitable mastery of story telling, and given life by a gifted ensemble of actors.

Whew! Long day at work folks, but more shinyness downloaded on my work computer!

This ep always makes me sad for two reasons.

One, when River offers to go with Early... my heart just caves and I cry.. hard.

And it's also the last episode of Firefly that I cry over. It breaks my heart that it didn't go on.
That I can't know what happened to these folks I came to care for so much.

Lots of discussions in other threads I was catching up on from today about what the future is for Firefly. And I don't know. I've been here almost a year and I've looked for news to tell me what the answer is to that question every day.
And my heart has ached when I don't see that news.

I'm sure there are veterans who have looked longer than that... and maybe had all hope crushed.

But I do know that stuff like this ITunes opportunity just keeps giving us a chance to make the 'verse a part of mainstream life. That's what we have to do ... we have to get folks who don't know a thing about Firefly to see it. It usually sells itself once folks see it. Then there will be more folks buying the series from ITunes for their recruiting opportunities, more folks buying books, comics, DVD's, shirts, all the shiny stuff that "sells". So that the folks who have the power to give us another chance at more 'verse will see that there are more of us out here.
And that it would be worth the risk. Again.

Firefly Fortnight may have concluded, but the idea behind it still holds. Distributing episodes of Firefly to new people as gifts via email is a very effective way to spread the word of the 'verse. Also, if you own an iPod, always have Firefly eps stored on it... but if you have to conserve space, then at least always have the pilot Serenity with you. Never know when you'll get into a conversation with someone regarding Firefly, and being able to show them some of Serenity will be very effective.

Keep bringin' the word to them as needs it told.
