Hello,
First off, forgive my ignorance, first post and all. I bought the DVD set of Firefly the other day on a whim, and watched every episode in the space of 2 days. (my kids thought I was nuts)I've rented Serenity now, and enjoyed it immensely. Is there any hope of a continued Firefly series? Is there any "serious" talk by TV execs/producers of this happening? I simply cant fathom why a show set in such a large and diverse world (universe), with phenomenal characters, wonderful writing, well acted, etc., etc. is not still playing. Ok it was cancelled. Major bad idea IMHO, but is there any evidence that someone else reaizes this and is going to pick up the ball?

Sincerely,
Mike Forester

Hi, Mike. Welcome to the 'Verse first off.

Also....you need a browncoat...we hand out virtual ones around here...a sort of welcome as it were.

*hands Mike a browncoat of his own*

I'm going to be very frank. But first I'm going to tell you that I've been here almost 2 years and I still feel the way that you feel now. I still come here every day hoping they'll post that the BDM has a sequel coming. Practically everyone here feels the same way. We're all heartbroken that they cancelled this awesome show!

Now back to the frank part... there's very little hope that they'll bring the series back, perhaps one of these days a la BSG where there are new people on a new ship? But probably not soon and not with the same cast.

However, there is a small chance still that they could make a sequel to the BDM ( the Big Damn Movie- Serenity of course ). We need numbers of people, buying more DVD's- convincing Universal that another movie would be profitable for them.
Because that's what it boils down to... money.
So we'll see...
In the meantime, make yourself to home,talk often, and enjoy yourself, we're glad you're here.

I share your pain... I got firefly from my girlfriend as a birthday gift.

She was raving about this show years ago, (I don't watch TV much so dismissed it out of hat) and when a friend gave me serenity to watch; I was bragging to her about how great it was. You can imagine here expression. (Ya know looks can kill.) Anyways... she was gracious enough to forgive me with the DVD set.

Watched the firefly over 2 days. Bought Serenity and watched it again. Have re-watched serenity and firefly over and over again for the past couple weeks. Bought the "Done the Impossible DVD." Haven't seen all the interactive stuff yet. Holding out because I'm having firefly withdrawals. Oh yea... I also bought Blue Sun and Serenity T-shirts, plus the plans to Serenity.

I'm depressed its all over. Have been browsing the web looking for any hope of a gorram trilogy.

Started spreading the word at work. Its one of my new missions. To spread the word of this great work. I hope to get as many people as I know hooked and depressed as me. To keep the faith of course.

I'm just commiserating with you and hoping you will spread the word too.

Yes, there is hope. Joss wants to tell more stories. The actors want to be in more stories. A way eventually will be found. And I'm not just talking more comic books.

Are you going to be watching Drive Sunday night 2 episodes and Monday 1 episode on Fox? Starring Nathan (Our Captain) Fillion and produced/directed/written/whatever by Tim (Firefly co-producer) Minear.

Serenity Special Edition with cast commentary July 2007

Check and see if you can see Serenity on the Big Darn Screen this year: See http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/

Last year fans arranged Serenity Charity Screenings around June (Joss Whedon's Birthday) 23 in 47 cities around the world, raising over $65,000 for Charity.

Up to 51 cities this year and it is only April. Lots of tickets on sale already.

I read someplace about Joss saying that when Firefly is officially finished then he would go online and post every secret about the verse. So until that happens there is still hope. However small and fleeting it may be.

Oh, and welcome to FFF.net.

Nathan Fillion says there won't be any more Firefly. He does not say the same for a movie sequel.

One thing I've learned in my life ( I'm no kid ) is that EVERYTHING changes in time...so as far as Firefly ever coming back... I say it will! It might be 10 years down the road, with an entirely new cast, or perhaps with a few originals.

Look at Battlestar as an example...show was cancelled after 1 season , 22 episodes (1978-1979). It did come back (1980), re-vamped with mostly a new cast about 18 months later, but that was also cancelled after a half season. Then a 25 year gap until the current re-incarnation, so the lesson is never say never.

Welcome aboard MSKVFORESTER glad to have you on the ship.

As you can see There is still hope. Each individual browncoat is holding on for something. I myself want to see a sequel to our BDM and a new tv series.You signing on to our band of browncoat pirates shows that you believe that the show is special and magical. Join us in the trenches and spread the word of FF/Serenity. It's all about numbers, numbers, numbers. and ours are getting HUGE. Enjoy the forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Got half way through my license in 2001, but after september 11, I only took a few more flights. Had just soloed, and then was laid off from my job. 911 hit hard in the IT world at the time. So never did finish getting my license. Will have to go back and probably start over. Now working again for Boeing, which is where I was when the rift came.

Am currently building my own airplane, in fact thats what I am doing right this minute. Just took a breather while some mixture dries for the plug my father and I are making. Its a dad/son aircraft build. Been at if for 6 years now. Was building when I was taking lessons.

Got to go build.

Well , that means you're not just a Brother Browncoat , you're also a fellow aviator !

I figure anyone that can take a bird in the air and keep 'er from fallin' down is a flyer...

There are a few of us hereabouts...We're proud to have you aboard this shiny ship ! Keep logging in and having a good time , sticky fingers or not , we'll make you to home...

So , is that Bits*Of*Engine*In*Neighbors'*Garden
in Washington state , or Kansas , per-maybe-haps ?

Looking forward to the 7-8-7 rollout in July...Love it when our guys kick the crap out of Airbus !

You know , Professor Art Scholl used to have an acro-dog named 'Aileron'...But the Professor got killed in a spin accident making 'Top Gun' , when something on the airplane broke...

Best wishes on the project...My curiousity is now piqued...
