If the S.E dominates sales?
I mean, the TV series continues to dominate DVD sales and the movie has forced Universal to release an S.E.
Nathan, Joss and all of the cast are not on any other major commitments and the franchise has stayed strong.
I can't help but feel that Joss kind of gave up on the franchise after Serenity. If he had pursued a sequel or more firefly with the same passion and intent that he pursued Serenity we might have something back.
I really believe 2007 is the make or break year for us. If nothing happens, we go from people with a cause to people with nothing but memories to discuss.
Wow, what a random post, sorry everytime i watch an episode I get all emotional and decide to subject you all to my thoughts.
How frustrating it is to be a browncoat.
Please, someone, anyone, post something that will lift my spirits. Lie to me even. I dont care

Buffy: "Lie to me."
Giles: "Yes. It's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies... and everyone lives happily ever after."
That's all I've got. I don't remember where I heard this quote but I think it applies for a lot of things. "You can't fail if you don't give up." So we just won't give up.

i believe that if anything is to be put into motion it'll be done in 2007. the contracts run out this year and the SE DVD is coim out, if anything is to happen it is now.
i know its been a while since we've heared anything besides "not yet", but hey if we keep going we might be able to get what we need.
And i think that the newer browncoats (like me) need to step up and help our older veterans to market our heroes. I personaly have no ideas but thats why we got this website, ideas away!!

Joss has not given up on Firefly/Serenity. If he had,we would have Firefly Season 2 the comic series like there is Buffy Season 8 comic series and Angel Season 6 comic series. Instead we are getting another Serenity 3-issue comic. Serenity: Better Days. September 2007. The first 3-issue comic is collected in Graphic novel Serenity: Those Left Behind.
Joss just doesn't have 40 million dollars. Nathan doesn't have 40 million dollars. None of the other Big Darn Heroes has 40 million dollars. I don't have 40 million dollars.
Universal has 40 million dollars. Universal has until the September or the end of this year to make a decision on a sequel. If they say no, that is when Joss can shop around.
The difference between Buffy and Firefly/Serenity is that all the actors want to do more Firefly/Serenity. They and Joss want to tell more stories in the 'verse.
So we hold. And we buy Serenity Special Editions. And we go to Serenity Screenings on the Big Darn Screen. And we buy Firefly/Serenity Official Merchandise. And we support the Big Darn Heroes and Joss where we can.

Need ideas?

Firefly and Serenity Guerilla Marketing
Here is a shiny idea: Hold Charity Serenity Screenings in June 2007 in 50 cities around the world and raise over $100,000 for charity. Sound impossible? In 2006, oganizers held events in 47 cities around the world, raising over $65,000 for charity.

Very good point.
Also the Star Trek movies for the "original series" did not happen for a years after the series ended; and were spread over quite the range.

First of all, listen to Anony, she is very wise.
She has been here and watched all of this unwind and knows how strong the fandom is and she's not suggesting anything that's not possible.
All of her suggestions, particularly regarding the screenings for charity in June are excellent.
I'd also suggest you find the ideas presented by TDBrown in the guerrilla marketing thread about writing Sci-Fi for a summer series run or a marathon in May and June and July... you get my drift.

Been hearing rumours Joss has been hanging out at the Lucas ranch, now mind you these are just rumours I've heard, I can't confirm. Maybe if someone looked into it thay can confirm or deny. I'm not trying to get any hopes up, just something I wanted to share, so don't anyone go off saying it's true until it can be double checked.
