How Often does it move around? Maybe that's why I couldn't find it on Google... I Hope the cast can find it if they're giving out info!

Adam posts on the OB all the time, most often in the political section(s). He did put a post in general discussions when he found out he had to work, instead of D*Cing. He's such a standup kinda guy!
Maybe sometime in the next year, Haken could make a dedicated Con page, for updates from the attendees. It could include anything that a group of fans attends...just to keep those of us who only go to one or two up to date! Sound like an idea?

"I love my Captain."
VERY Shiny!
I think a "*Con" section (for ANY and ALL of the various "Cons") would be great, But I'm a nobody, so my opinion carries exactly NO weight... But it might keep things moving, keep us all up to date, let us know who's saying what, how they're acting, etc...
I'd be happy to write a quick PERL "Upload pictures/video/audio script" if there's enough Disk space and bandwidth to handle all the pics... I try to keep mine spread around on various servers, because this site gets a lot of hits and loads the pics and such up from various sites every time someone clicks on the thread.. I noticed some folk's pics don't show up (Like from Photo bucket) after they cross a certain bandwidth limit, and the poster doesn't know it's not showing up 'cause the pic is in their cache (so THEY see it while WE don't)
But Imagine all the Shiny Pics and Video and Audio that could be collected!!!
One thing I found "unsettling" at Dragon*Con was a "FEW" fans were acting kinda "possessive", like they OWNED the actors.. one girl asked for a hug (on a dare from her girlfriend), and the people beside us got ANGRY and were yelling "ABSOLUTELY NOT" and "Who does SHE think she is?" and "Someone needs to sit her down!"... and there were several others in the room murmuring (or loudly saying) the same (or similar) things... then Summer said "I don't have a girlfriend" (after Alan said his S.O. has a "No Hugging rule") and she hugged the lady, and I thought the people sitting beside me were gonna go into apoplexy... they were so angry and SO jealous, that I actually slid over in my seat a bit.
Generally I have found Browncoats ULTRA willing to work together without the usual "I want to be the leader" crap found on many sites trying to get something accomplished.. I guess there's a few though in every crowd.
I STRONGLY dislike that "I'm more of a Browncoat than you are" crap.. but again, I guess there's a few in every crowd. Those types need to step back from the edge a little bit and remember that after all is said and done "It's a SHOW".
It's sad when Fans of ANY show go over that line, and the "Show" becomes more important than their lives... I've seen it in a LOT of Trekker friends, We had a fellow about 4 years back that missed so much work over going to StarTrek conventions that we had to let him go (Which I hated, because he was a hellofva good analyst, when his mind was on WORK).. in our line of business, you have to keep your head in the game and juggle a lot of things at the same time... If you miss a few days you come back and think "God, How am I EVER gonna catch up and get "The Big Picture" back in my head?
I worked from the hotel Room Every night of the *Con, and through lunches, Just so I wouldn't be lost when I came back into the office Tuesday... Shows are a nice distraction from reality, but the Bills have to be paid first ;)

And, people being as they are (not robot-like), a nonsense point is liable to make them dismiss your WHOLE analysis, because they figure, if you make one nonsense point, or making connections that clearly aren't there, or making too much of information that was already known before Serenity's box office was known, perhaps you're making other ones that they just didn't spot. So I'm suggesting, if you want people to believe your speculations, you don't include that particular point in your argument, as it's a nonsense point. IMHO.

Gosh, How did I EVER make my first Mil without your expert advice, keen insight, and knowledge of all things? How did I EVER get all those Gov Contracts and bonuses? I'm simply in awe. I know so little compared to you. You're SO much more of a browncoat... I'll leave ALL further speculation to YOU.
I'm your humble Nonsense Servent forever. You've converted me, Lead on!
I just got the FOULEST worded email from this site that I have EVER seen, apparently "Just for the fun of it".. I'm not wasting any more time or bandwidth posting here for the trolls and know-it-alls..
Sorry to the rest of you.. I hate to take my ball and go home, but I WILL NOT be subjected to THAT kind of crap, and I certainly won't PAY in bandwidth for it..

OUCH!!!
BAD has been very gracious in sharing his thoughts and ideas with us.
He even took us to D*C.
It is his opinion he was expressing and he believes it as he sees it.
And from his trained eye, he thinks there will be another Serenity Movie.
Now tell me what is wrong with that??!!
Give him a break. And stop trollin him.

I am a fan of Firefly and Serenity. I am not a rabid fan. I don't analyze the show to death. Was I pissed when it was cancelled? More than I can say. Did I cry about it? No, because I really do belive that it's just a TV show. Do I deride fans who took it harder than I did? Absolutely not. What gives ME the right to tell anyone else that their feelings are wrong? Same goes for beliefs, whatever they might be (religious, personal, hopeful for another movie, whatever). I have no right to tell another person that they're wrong. I may not agree, but that's what makes discussion interesting. When disagreement trips into personal attacks, or making someone feel bad for their opinions, is where I draw the line. Life is too short for such bullshit. If I don't cotton to your personal opinion, well....let's have a drink and a couple o' laughs and hash it out. I come from a family of talkers and bullshitters. I love intelligent debate, or even not so intelligent.
Belief is not based on "proof positive". That's what makes it BELIEF, not SCIENCE.
Hope I didn't offend anyone.

I believe there will be more. Bad2 willing shared information that made sense to me. Some folk will only believe when they hear it from Joss. Some folk will only believe when they put their money down and walk in the theater.
I value what Bad2 has given us on the other threads, and what he has shared from the con. You don't have to agree. Stop the yucky e-mails!

*grumble grumble* I wish I could have been there. I wish I could have told Summer what a brillaint actress she is. And sat in her lap! And just run into Alan and... Oh so many things.
*edit* And the snips now make some kind of sense. I am very sad that anyone would be so incredibly thoughtless and mean as to message such an intelligent and sharing Browncoat in such a way.
Bad2, I did not get to see any of the shiny things you posted. I am sad. If you don't want to post them here, could you tell me how to access them? I would appreciate it.
