Fighting for 5 years as I've done since the show got cancelled, after awhile you get very, very tired.
Love the show till the day I die, hate fux till eternity, and still hope in the back of my brain something will happen, some miraculous event.
But I'm so very tired.

It has nothing to do with "getting a kick" out of it. But there's faith and there's unrealistic fantasy.
The series will never be replicated, even if some network were to approach Joss wanting to bring the Verse back to television and he had (1) some concept that he liked and (2) wanted to do it.
He himself has said that Firefly can never be recreated or recaptured. That was a singular moment, and it's past.
Firefly as Firefly is gone. But we did get Serenity. But barring something unforeseen, there isn't another one of those in the pipeline either.
We will have another three-issue run of comics.
That's just the way of it. It can be angry-making, and it can be frustrating, but it also doesn't diminish what we DO have.
It doesn't mean stop loving it. And it doesn't mean stop converting people (although that should be because you simply want more people to have the experience, not because you think introducing 2 more people to it will somehow bring Firefly back).
It just means that's the real world.

Well Theonetruebix we know the case is, if not lost at least less likely, the no0bies discovering it and coming on the site everyday will be asking the question we were asking from the beggining, why is this off the air and why isn't anyone doing anything to bring it back? I know that first moment you fall in love and want to DO something to bring it back, it's noble and worthy and all kinds of shiney, but after you see the same thing asked a hundred times over and no answer can be brought up, well as I said, you begin to grow a little weary.
I think I've finally gone through all the stages of grief for this show, and I've come to the final one. Acceptance. Sad to say I know, but eventually we all must move on.
And let me stem any negative feedback I may get calling me a quitter and a Browncoat never gives up. I've held the line a looooong time, and I won't abandon it, but I won't be expecting Angels raining fire on the arrogant Cohns. Flame me an you will.

No & yes. Something will emerge. Probably will not be our BDH or our Ship or the same or similar story line. The "Firefly" 'verse is just so big the story possibilities are vast. Besides, there's money to be had here and that is what drives the business world.
I believe Universal's recent crack down on "Serenity" based products & this summers release of a "SE Serenity" are very good indications that a sequel is being strongly considered. With a sequel comes a Trilogy, it's in the contract.
'til then, we hold.
Keep Flyin'

Yes.
Because I said so, and I am awesome.
It's top of my list when I become Most High Supreme Overlord of the Earth.
Seriously though, how many years of a gap was there between Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation? You never know when a franchise will start up again, and Firefly is growing more popular, not less. I still have hope.

I believe that Firefly will come back, however, lazy fans will do nothing to help it's return. In order to get a series back on the air, action will have to be taken, do what you can to get people to see the show, loan them your DVDs or donate a box set to your local library. If you're in school and are a part of a club then show the members an episode. Show it to family and friends. Write people at the studios, and in hollywood. The best way to get firefly back on the air is to show the poeple in hollywood that us browncoats are a large enough demographic to make airing the show profitable. In short, hard-core browncoats need to keep doing what they're doing, and less intense flans need to start buying merch and telling others. As time passes there can only be a greater chance that it will come back on the air.

Alright I’ve read through the posts here and I want to say that I’m not disagreeing with a lot of it . But are we browncoats are what? Yes some of what’s been said makes me very angry, but the day I start giving up will be the “Day I am not glad to be me.”
That’s just not who I am. Do I live in a fantasy world, likely, am I a rutting fool, I won’t argue that point either. But one thing I will not do is give up hope on FF or Serenity. I am an optimist. Why do I believe that there is still good in the world when the television news reports otherwise every day. I won’t hand anyone the hammer to DRIVE any nails into a coffin for Firefly. Nor will I put Mr. Whedon into a “Joss in the Box”. The verse lives . The characters live. The actors have moved on to other things. Well I for one never expected them to sit still. They are moving forward and that’s a good thing. I am a very stubborn person, very hard headed and an a$$ at times. Call me what you will. I’ve been called worse. Just ask Mrs.Z.
Anyhoo I can take it. Firefly WAS a great show and it can be again. It may never be the same, that is true but how will we ever know unless there is more. Joss may be feeling a little low ( I really don’t know what the man feels) but didn’t the series speak to us? Look back at the “Message” eps. Didn’t the commander need the help of his troops at the beginning of that show too? Malcolm Reynolds told Zoey and Tracy to pick him up. They were taking him with them. ”When you can’t run you crawl and when you can’t do that you find someone to carry you.”
Joss move on to other things? He should. But give up on Firefly he shouldn’t. I will still be here as many of you. Someone will fall in love with this show. Someone with money and the desire to see more. Is it the smart thing to do? Whose to say, but like was said in the BDM “ If you can’t do something smart, do something right.”
I could quote FF lines all day and know it will not bring FF/Serenity back. But there’s one thing I have learned in this life and that is if you sit back on your heels you get nothing. The powers that be are willing to take and not give back. They may never give the browncoats what they want but one thing they don’t want is to hear about it.That’s one thing they aren’t gonna stop from me. When they turn purple and bloated I’ll still be here telling them what they should do. And be proud to do it.
Guess I’ve finished my rant for now. Let the Z bashing begin

Lazy? I've been fighting since the beggining, since it was cancelled, and I've DONE everything your describing and more. I will keep the hope SOMETHING might happen but don't come on here and tell people who have holding the line since the beggining that they're lazy. You'll find some of them won't cotton to that description, considering it was our holding the line that got the DVD's and the movie that you fell in love with. Just a reminder to let you know how long this fight's been going. Good to see new people coming on board and relieving the troops, but just remember your not the first to want to fight for it, and you won't be the last.
