I believe that was the Rum Tum Tuggle reference. Can't you just see Clem wandering out into a production of "Cats?"
Only if he gets to play poker with them.
Oh dear...that could end badly! lol

Kind of a sweet, slightly melancholy post (Joss', I mean, not mine) to end the day...
Yeah. It's nice to see him talk straight up and simple, honest about his feelings, and without all the dancing about. (Well, there was some dancing...). I love that this show meant so much to everyone involved - it bonds us all. His weariness and wariness is shared.

Well there we have it boys and girls, and all those in between!
Joss's heart was broken when it all fell apart, and damnation, who could blame him? And it is all about the marketplace, and don't ever forget, it all comes down to how much advertising space can a given network (i am still holding out for the CW) sell for that 60 minute period.
Let's not forget, networks and advertisers are a bunch of whores (sorry Inara). They will pander to anyone or anything that might potentially put a dollar bill in their pockets, so it is up to us all to continue to fight the good fight, get the word out, and keep the people out there spending money on Firefly and the BDM......make the whole affair look profitable, and make the production companies come to Joss, hat-in-hand, and ask him to do it all again!
It is up to us and no one but us, so let's get off our collective asses and make it all happen!
WE'RE GONNA CRASH? I DON'T WANNA CRASH!

NSS, I don't know how to do the snip thing, so please pardon the taking of your words as guidance for my typing more.
I got tears in my eyes at the last of that post.. it touched me so. I forgot how much he must have loved Firefly and then to have it taken and to fight so hard. I don't think I'm gonna have any trouble holdin' the line from now on... and being patient and working hard is going to be a whole lot easier.
You know the earlier stories about the " death of Serenity's sequel" flashed around the web folks, let's all do our part to gently and kindly remind folks that it wasn't so. If you blog, please blog and include Joss' words and if you have a myspace or a facebook account or a live journal account or a digg account say something about this and spread the word. This was featured on every genre site on the web yesterday.. wouldn't it be shiny if every genre site had to retract it tomorrow?
I'm sending this out tomorrow thru the BSC to get the word out, I'm hoping all other Browncoats will do their part in their own circles to spread it too.
Go to www.bigdamnthankyou.com and check it out!

4) I will absolutely, posatively never ever do any kind of Serenity sequel or spinoff unless a studio asks me. Politely. Or meanly, that's cool too.
OK, did anyone else read this the way I did? I see people talking about Joss saying here that he won't do anything with Serenity or a spinoff unless he's asked... wasn't every other item on the list absolute nonsense? I don't think that's what he was saying at all.
Joss is perfectly willing to make another sequel and he's not going to sit around and wait for the studios to ask him nicely, or meanly.
Joss Whedon knows what he wants, kinda, and if he gets it in his head that he's ready to make another sequel or something, he's gonna put pressure on the studios until they give in. It's our job to help, by buying up all the DVD's and official stuff we can, and by begging, pleading, and cajoling in any way possible. Sure, there's nothing in the works right now... at the studios. Joss probably has 30 different ideas floating around in his head, including the rest of what he had intended to tell in Season 1 (you've all seen the quote that comes up on this page about suddenly having a story in his head and not getting to tell it). All that remains is for the studios to line up with his wishes, which could take a small miracle. There's definitely hope though, even though it's not in the works yet.

I got www.cinematical.com to post an updated story about Joss' comments.

I am the "Sheridan" he mentions. Try and get it out to as many other outlets that posted the "demise" of Firefly and Serenity.
