Thank you everyone 
I know a lot of people are distracted by Flan right now, but a little "word of mouth" to other BCs about this would sure help until we can launch something a little more organized around Jan 1st. If you can, definitely do the double e-mail thing for the FF Marathon on the 12th of this month (1 week away!). Thanks a bunch!

TD, I'll try to get a BSC post done up that the crew can send out the Monday before the marathon.
They can send it out.. and someone cover my posts til I return on Wednesday to follow it up.. because thanking a day or so after and suggesting this idea will not hurt.
We'll make it about the marathon and the Relit project.

Please don't forget:
Sci/Fi's Firefly Marathon is tomorrow from 8am-4pm!
It's a good idea to send them a "Thank you" e-mail, and it wouldn't hurt to remind them of the "Firefly: Relit" Idea as well. Here's the e-mail I'm sending:
To the Sci/Fi Programming Staff:
Firefly is one of your more popular shows; Check the
Numbers from the last few "Marathons" you've had of
it, and I'm sure you'll agree that it's still quite
popular. It's also in the Interests of NBC/Universal
that it BE a popular Show. The Film Serenity is doing
well in DVD sales, and Firefly's popularity certainly
ties in.
So... Here's what I have in Mind:
There are 14 Episodes, if you count the Pilot as One
Episode. Show the Series in the dvd Format, the way
Joss Whedon originally intended them to be. Sci/Fi
could have each Episode Introduced by one of the
Show's Cast, perhaps a different one each time, and
Joss for the Pilot Episode. The "Guest Host" can intro
an Episode, and provide a tidbit of commentary or
trivia at the end of each Installment. Show one per
week, on the same designated night, just like a
regular Series. It'll take all Summer and Folks can
Tune in, Same Time, Same Channel each week. It'll be a
blast for those of us already familiar with Firefly,
and Introduce an entirely New Audience to it as well.
This could generate enough renewed interest in Firefly
to bring about interest in a Serenity Sequel. Also, if
Sci/Fi is in line for the non-paying Cable Premiere of
Serenity, this would be the PERFECT Tie-in! I hope you
all give this some serious consideration. It could
certainly work, to the benefit of all concerned.
Sincerely,
Timothy Dale Brown

Well, here we are folks, it's Marathon Day!!
I hope you're getting to watch Firefly and I hope you're getting your keyboard tuned up to say thank you and write SciFi about this idea.
Wouldn't it be awesome to see this series over the summer?
While at the Browncoat Backup Bash, during Tim Minear's presentation we saw a bit of "Ariel". It really brings home to see it again, just how shiny this series was! I'd been busy preparing for what was supposed to be Flan and doing some guerilla marketing before I left. So I'd not seen the eps in a bit. Oh, how I'd love to see this series presented this way over the summer months!

I'm enlisted, along with all my mates. And I caught the marathon from work. (I hope I don't get fired).
You sir have requested a revolution (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) We shall make it happen. Now if I can just find that stupid intern in the IT department to light himself on fire in front of Scifi HQ... I've never understood the point of interns until now... ooooh if I can gather enough interns, I can spell out a burning firefly on the Scifi lawn. Bwahaha, better yet, some fox executives! I'm a genius!!
