Hope? Of course...we hope and will continue hoping...

As Mal Said, "I may have been on the losing side, but I'm not convinced I was on the wrong side."

We hold until Mal gets back. Period.

Well, looks like things are going to get interesting. Define interesting. Oh god Oh god we're all going to die?

Hey, I forgot about lottery jackpots. I play the lottery where I am too. More Browncoats--more chances someone will win.

Serenity will some day show enough of a profit.

1. DVD sales.

2. Sales of Official merchandise. Universal gets a cut.

3. Box Office. Serenity is still showing in theaters. If you have 25 or more Browncoats, you can probably convince a theater that they will make a profit showing Serenity. Off times and off days are a good bet. Beer and pizza theaters too. Browncoats know how to shindig--and food and drink is where theaters make their money. Universal gets a % of ticket sales and/or rental fee of film.

4. Charity Serenity screenings are still being arranged by Browncoats. Universal gets a $250 rental fee. For more info on Charity Serenity Screenings, see http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/

Spread the word about Firefly/Serenity. More people know about it--more people fall in love with it--more Browncoats. Which leads to more 1-4 and more Browncoats and also more chances that a Browncoat will win the lottery which can lead to more 1-4...

You guys are right, there is still hope. Can't stop the signal, right? Thankyou for easing my fears though. It really helps to know that there is still a fighting chance for the show, especially the whole universal/SiFi factor which is something I hadn't known before.

To answer your question Traveler: Yes, I guess my name does imply that River is my favorite character. It's a hard toss up between her and Mal though. I love all of the characters sooo much. I cry when they cry, I laugh when they laugh and I hurt when they hurt. It's hard for me to just watch the show, without living it.

I'm a huge fan and love this site, but I find I don't have much time to visit here with all the things going on in my day to day life. I have been a member for quite sometime. Maybe about a year and a half or so.

Kewl, another marathon on 12/12, 8 AM to 3 PM!

I wonder when Sci Fi will show Serenity? Is it still making Universal money on pay TV?

Yes, AlienZooKeeper, it is. It was just on HBO again this weekend. It'll be on regular tv before we know it. More recruits then too.

It's hard to keep hope when things are quiet on the battlefield and there aren't very many troops around you and there doesn't seem to be much point to the war. That's kind of where we are right now. And it may be that like grunts in the field, we have very little sway over what happens.
So that means we do what all good soldiers do, what Mal did in Serenity Valley.. we watch out for each other, we have each other's backs, we stay armed and active and we make points where we can ( buy the DVD's, watch the marathons and write SciFi, visit the SciFi board and overwhelm them with the sheer numbers of us there, buy the official merchandise, recruit, guerilla market and share the DVD's, both movie and tv show, try new campaigns and ideas to spread the 'Verse) and we hold, we hold right here waiting for Mal to get back. Cuz that's what he'd do for us. He'd hold. So I hold.


"You hold. Hold 'til I get back." Mal

I still haven't given up hope, simply because you can just tell that it's not over! Everyday we get new people on this site who just found the show and love it! There's also the fact that every so often SciFi shows Firefly marathons, and don't forget that it's only been a year since the movie came out! There's still time!

Remember: "We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty!!"
Don't give up just yet!

I still have some hope, but it's very small these days. If I was asked to put money on an outcome, I'd put my money down on no more verse in film.

I think there will be comics and novels and such, but the actors are getting older and moving on. I just don't see the practicality of the verse returning unless it happens incredibly soon.

I'm with you. My hope for a renewal of the series is about zero. But my hope for a new movie is still very high.


Everybody always has the advantage over us, but that's what makes us special...and Browncoats.

Come on ppl!! Call me insane but we can not give up. There is more FF coming! I can feel it. I am very optimistic and up-beat about this. I will take the lash of 78.6 floggings before I would say FF is gone.

We may hear laughter and it may about us and behind our backs but when FF returns and the lucky studio is hauling in all that coin I will hold my head up and say " I was there. On that day when Mal and crew raised the Serenity flag." Some things are just in your bones.
