Breat, absolutely great idea. I've sent out a few e-mails already but more importantly, TDBrown, I posted your idea over at the IMDB forums for Firefly and Serenity. If someone's already done it, oh well now there are two threads there for this idea.

I figure if I run out I can just get homeless people and people who cut in front of other people in lines, and people who say something is "crunk" as opposed to good or cool, and hippies, and just put stickers that say 'Intern' on them. I assure you, everyone at my work hates interns. It will be a massacre.

Sci Fi Channel to do Firefly....great idea.

What about HBO films? They're making 10+ movies and specials a year now...most of them suck...can't believe HBO gets anything back from them...on the other hand if they produced a new Serenity movie or Firefly episodes they could build up an audience like they have for Sopranos, Big Love, and Entourage.

I believe HBO is the way to go....I want to see a new series began exactly....exactly where the movie left off...with River & Mal in the cockpit, and the rest of the crew dealing with the loss of Wash & Book.....Inara stays on as she teased Mal she would....maybe Zoe takes some time off back home to chill.....and of course the fallout from the Alliance over the Miranda wave.....Blue Hand Guys, Blue Sun Corp., The Academy, Sheppard Book's ident card ( is that how they knew his first name for his tombstone?),
more Yo Saff Bridge...and of course...what happens to RIver and Simon now? It would be awesome!

Firefly is all I watch......all other TV is rutting crap.

Thank you, Dewrastler , I don't believe anyone had done that yet; much appreciated.

This campaign is aimed at Sci/Fi for very specific reasons:

1) They already show Firefly in occasional Marathons, like they did yesterday.

2) They are a Division of NBC/Universal, who owns the BDM and has the TV Broadcast rights for it, as well.

THESE are the people we need to convince....

If HBO is a division of NBC/Universal, we might try them next, but they aren't, are they? I thought maybe Cinemax might be...

Hard to tell the Players without a Program!

Hey, folks I found the snail mail addy for SciFi on another thread and thought I'd share it here.

It sure would be nice if we could still at some point have a mass letter writing day to these folks, so they can be made aware of this idea and our #'s out here.

Here's the addy:


Bonnie Hammer, President
NBC Universal | Sci Fi Channel
1230 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY
10020


We can thank VerseExplorer here at FFF.net for this.

Here is a link to that thread and that post series.....

I'm writing again today and saying thank you for the marathon and then including the Relit idea in my letter.

I'd love for Firefly to be shown this summer so much... such an opportunity for new fans to be found.

BTW, that's just an auto-response, but maybe they peruse the titles sometimes? The SCI-FI email, that is.

I like it, It may convince other networks to pick up the series

It's not the destination that I'm looking forward to, it's the Journey, that's the fun part.
