Well, no, it's a privately-run board with lots of people on it. But you'll note I wasn't running around trying to have your post deleted or your account removed, which would be an assault ony our speech.

What I did was make sure, as quickly as possible, to point out that the remark was an unsourced unfounded rumor before people started believing it, which only would have caused more damage.

See, that's how the "free speech" thing works. You say something, and then I get to say something. When someone criticizes you? That's not an attack on your free speech. It's just more free speech.

well im sorry if i insulted your free speech...but your original remark sounded a little tetchy

i know the theory of free speech so don't give me any of that 糟糕 please

i do agree with you to an extent but reacting in such a serious and quite frankly pedantic way to such a harmless comment is dangerous imo

why do you think Serenity was filmed?...because of great Firefly ratings? clearly not

Because of Universal's hate for FOX? possibly

Nope...it was hope...the hope of all us Browncoats, hope led to the hard work that we all put in promoting it and looking like plonkers wearing cunning Jayne hats to work...(me that is )

hope is part of what kept Firefly and indeed Serenity alive so a little more hope in this case can't hurt...i don't care if it is unsourced or not not all rumours are untrue (although then tend to be )

...phew...

anyways i don't wanna fight with someone who is clearly of my senior

Hate to interrupt all the free-speechifying and self-righteous posturing and all that, but does anybody have a link to a copy of this article for those of us not registered with that there website?

I just followed the link in the original post. There was a link within the link. I didn't have to register for anything. But maybe my comp just did something strange and glitchy.

Here is the quote that I think everyone is getting hope from but very very sadly, I'm not...

"He would also like to return to television, after telling Variety in 2004, 'I have a bitter taste in my mouth with where TV has gone in the past five years.' Whedon said the experience he had with "Firefly," which was canceled after 11 episodes, taught him what guarantees he would need to go back. 'I don't want another 'Firefly.' I can't do that. It hurts too much,' he said."

Pretty much looks like no Firefly to me but feel free to give me hope. Gosh darnit! It's Mother's Day. I want hope!!!

One order of hope on the way! Careful... the plate is hot...

Just my observation, but I think what Joss is saying is that he doesn't want another experience of having a show he deeply loves get continually mishandled, and then slowly suffocated to death by a network... the way Firefly was.

I'm holding on to the belief that Joss would dearly love to reincarnate the 'verse as a series again. But the next time, he would have more control and protection for his creation.

It would be sweet, sweet revenge to bring back Firefly/Serenity as a series and have it be a thunderous success!
