Thanks for the reply. Nobody ever mentioned that it came from Buffistas. I'm skeptical by nature and I always need to see things for myself. Thanks for being a wee fan.

Keep flying JW, your loyal Browncoats are behind you 100%. We believe in the story, in the cast and crew, and most of all we believe in you. Keep fighting the good fight.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I love that man more than should legally be allowed.

And you can interpret that statement every way you want to.

I very rarely become addicted to TV shows. I am Married to a Jossaholic, who spouts many Buffyisms making me laugh on a regular basis. I was never completely hooked on Buffy or Angel (though I have watched every episode..it's a requirement in my home). When Kate (my wife) asked for Firefly "The Complete First Season" for Christmas this year..I bought it for her. Christmas day, she asked me to watch the DVD's with her in marathon fashion. It blew me away. We almost left the last episode..unwatched, because the knowledge that there wouldn't ever be another episode was a little bit heart rending. At any rate..we finished the series. You have found a JW convert.

One of my favorite lines in Firefly is:

"Keep walking Preacher Man" -River Tam

The hilarity of the simple statements got me hook, line and Sinker.

We look forward to the Movie and believe if anyone can get it done, Joss can.

Finally:

Mal- "Ya all gonna be here when I wake up?"

Yes..Yes..we will be

We have now watched the complete first season 3 times. Thank you Joss, the set has taken its rightfull place, next to my Godfather Collection.

"What's the rumpus?"

Hey guys. Sorry to go wildly off-topic (and bring up Firefly), but I need a favor. I tried to post something on Fireflyfans.net discussion about "Fireflygasms" (no, it's not as shippery as it sounds.) Anyhoo, I can't seem to log in, 'cause I work the computer like I'm wearing Strongbad's gloves and I really wanted to post something there. So I'm gonna write it out here and hope 'n' pray (to the meaningless void) that one of y'all will be kind enough to kick it over to that thread. Okay then:

______________________

Dear fan type postguys --

Checking in to say: Rough @%&$#ing week. Trying to work the movie deal, juggling so many balls and dropping them all, basically ending the week going, "I'm done. I'm tapped. Last man down, I don't even think I can do this." Then I hap on this thread, hear all those kick moments and all y'all cooing over them, and I remember why I'm fighting so hard. So when you here dorky sounding things like "The fans' support kept us going", know that on occasion it is not only literally but very specifically true. As in, today. Thanks already.

And, more importantly:

-- Inara on the bed in Mal's room saying "I just hit my head is all". Deep funny.

-- River on the railing. Batgirl!

-- "Little man Loooved fire."

-- "They were little geisha dolls with big heads that wobbled!" "People LOVE those!" Kai made me rewind that four times.

-- "Dear Diary. Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy."

-- "Have you ever been with a warrior woman?"

-- "She ain't moving." When you think Kaylee's talking about Zoe and realize she means Serenity. And every time the lights first flicker in that show I've forgotten what ep I'm in and I get very worried.

-- The part where the crew finds out about River's REAL... oh wait. That's the movie. Never mind.

Or mind in a while.

Thanks again.

It's cool to know that the Joss-man

posts here. A lot of people are taking his words as a possible warning sign that he's going to give up on getting Firefly back on the air (or in theaters as a movie), but I don't see them that way. His comments about feeling like he's 'down for the count' strike me as him venting/voicing his frustration and being honest about the fact that he IS frustrated. I can somewhat imagine what Joss is going through because I faced a similar problem in keeping a BtVS fanfic project that I started afloat (I was getting worried that we were never going to finish it and was ready to abandon it until one of my co-writers changed my mind), although I doubt very much that my problem was/is anything compared to his. It's also good to know that Fireflygasms (hee) can have such a buoying effect on him (it shows just how much the show means to him).

Go Joss!!!!!! Don't give up!!! If there's ANYONE who can get Firefly ressurrected, it's you (after all, you're the man who had the creative and persuasive clout to get your BtVS concept turned into a TV series).

Wow, that is so cool! And so frustrating too! Thank you Joss, for taking the time to share that with us.

Is there an email address for JW?

We've been playing with 'moviemaker' over here in Afghanistan. . .capturing video of our Apaches flying. . .some cool rocket shots. . .

I'm currently working on some video of non-combative flying over this poor, used-up little country (my heart goes out to these people, it really does) and make a vid to "The Ballad of Serenity" as sort of a "Hang in there" gift to Joss. I would love to make sure he gets it.

Any suggestions?

That's a GREAT idea, Static! I'm sure Joss would appreciate it. Maybe get all 60-some-odd of the soldiers you converted to sign a group photo or something to go along with it. The best way to get it to him is probably to send it c/o Mutant Enemy:

Joss Whedon

Good. Thanks for the update.

You know I just want to say something about all this.

Firefly was art, as all good theater and movies and TV are. Art is
worth fighting for, especially your art is worth fighting for. I really
loved Firefly there is something particularly heart wrenching when you
discover something that touches you, but it's time came and went without
you being aware of it, thats how Firefly was to me. Like falling in
love with a movie star from the fifties, or a author who has passed
away from the century before, a artist that flowered unappreciated and
misunderstood.

Brilliant but gone, a bittersweet thing that was not looked for, found
and then lost. Before you could stand up and be counted; It was gone.

Joss if you read this: I'm standing up, I want to be counted, it
mattered that you worked so hard to get it on the air, and to get it out
there, I appreciate the fact you wanted to share this story with me. I
appreciate that everyone worked so hard at getting your vision out there
and to make it their own.

Now on to the hard part:

I will say this once and clearly because it's antithetical to what I
really want: believe in your vision, if someone wants you to change
Firefly accept it if it makes sense to you, but if not? If your vision is
compromised? Let it go, find another story to tell, life is too short to
compromise art. Your vision has value, more then getting another
episode, or movie.

You will find another story to tell.

Fight for what is right and true, enjoy that you made a impact on
people, and that people truly cared, not kind of cared, there is no half
heartiness in this, people cared for you, the cast, the crew, and the
stories.

Thank you.

Dear Diary. Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy.

That's so nice of Joss. And he actually knows that this site exists. How cool is that?

And he mentioned Strong Bad! I love Joss. Have I mentioned that yet?
