Now I'll just have to call you "DizzyDowner"!
Seriously, I agree it's not the word we're hoping for, but I think it just may be the hope we're wording for... or something. That is, it is a relatively comprehensive Joss-post on the state of his works, and I can hardly believe that he would completely ignore FF/S in that context. After all, he's been willing to share bad news - even no news - in the past.
Of course, none of our conjecture is provable, either way... So I'm just gonna take his advice and keep keeping the faith and spreading the love...

"DizzyDowner"--heh. I really need a PuppyUpper! (reference to an old, old, Saturday Night live skit) :)
And seriously, I'm not trying to crush anyone's hopes. I have them, too. I keep hope alive so much it's pathetic. I just think we're looking for something in Joss' words that isn't there.
To me, the absolute best thing we have to hang our hope on is that Joss loves his Serenifly world. I think no matter what, no matter how far in the future, no matter if series, BDM or made for TV movie, he would jump at the chance to revisit the 'verse. I get that feeling from most of the actors, as well.
So I keep hoping. Always hoping. Don't mean to be a buzz-kill, so sorry. :D

Welcome to Serenity - Joss Whedon

When I read what Joss wrote, I get a sense that there is some talking going on, probably a lot of what if's being discussed, but in Joss's head it's more positive then negative talks so he's probably excited cause execs are talking about it again and wanted to let us know in his special and elusive way.
It's a toss up on what it really means, but some of the cast members are going to be free to do a movie or tv series, are free to do a BDS or BDM, or just plain tied up in something already. So, the message basically says to be patient, somethings in the works. What that something is, is up in the air until Joss says, "Firefy/Serenity is back!"

I'm sorry guys, but I just don't see anything to be hopeful about in his message. I do not see him refering to Firefly any kind of way.
However, as stated before, Sci Fi will have an open slot in the first part of 2007. If you recall, when they were first making Firefly they had very short deadlines, like make it in a few days kind of deadline.
In September everyone is going to send "Snail-Mail" to some places in hopes of letting them know how much we love our movie/TV show. It's still in the works how we are going to do it and in the next few days it should be posted with something more then what I am saying now. I am sure everyone knows what I am talking about and everyone is planning on helping out.
With that said, regardless if anything was said in JW's message was ment for us or not, we have a great chance at making this thing happen.
The slot is open, the time will come when our "movement" is taking place, they will have enough time to make it happen and we may get our wishes in 2007.
I do not care about any other show (other then the Football related). Sorry, I am a little upset that JW is talking/thinking of anything but Firefly. I hope everyone understands where I am coming from.

I just thought of this, maybe Joss is working a video game deal. We have a cancelled TV show and a movie, all we need is an awesome Firefly/Serenity video game. The BDVG.

Just two quotes, you tell me where I got 'em, if you like, but they always make me think of Firefly-
"Don't say anything...I'll believe."
and
"No surrender while I still breathe!"
Hint, one's from a sappy old movie I love too well (if that's possible), and the other is from my favorite 'Verse, before Firefly.

I hate to bring everyone down, but I am starting think we're reaching the point where it stops being lifesupport and turns to necrophilia. We are approaching a year out from the movie; almost all the actors, writers, directors, etc., have moved on to other projects. Unless new non-commentary content is announced by the end of the year...
Yeah, I sometimes misplace the faith too. But then I remember that I have been in this position 3 times before. Those of us Doctor Who fans campaned nearly 20 years before the BBC really listened and brough back the TV series. Lots of fan stuff happened in between. Then there was Farscape... the cast moved onto other projects but us fans bombarded the network - mail, emails, petitions, conventions - and we got the mini series to tie things up!
Of non SF programmes that this has happened to while I was a fan (although my husband will tell you this is a SF/Fantasy programme, especially the last few series) JAG was cancelled after its first season (just like Firefly), but those of us who believed did the usual and it was picked up by another chanel and ran for 10 years! I believe it holds the record for the longest running, non police, drama show.
See if you can hold and keep the faith. Often the impossible happens.
