FFP, what a buzz you must have got knowing you'd be in the scene. Now I have another excuse to watch the BDM

Note to Joss,
If you film the sequel in Sydney, I'll volunteer to be an extra, unpaid if you're strapped for cash

Browncoats, are you content to see Firefly in 2nd place or would you rather see it at #1. It won't happen unless you vote.

If Universal is trying to make more money from the Firefly/Serenity movie and series, that is definitely a good thing. Back in 1978 when Roddenberry was given the go ahead for a full length Star Trek motion picture, no one knew it would prove to be the impetus for all the other movies, as well as several new ST series. But the movie made so much money, the studio execs were thrilled, and happily signed on for more.

So, if studio execs are happy with the amount of money they are seeing from the sale of the movie and/or the series, it means we may see more. Never a guarantee, but at least some hope. Which is why I bought Season 1 on iTunes today.

Doing my part to help bring on the next movie, or even bring back the series.

Balancing hope and pragmatism...the fact that Joss has a continuing, productive relationship with Universal is a shiny thing. The fact that Universal is on some level monitoring Serenity sales is another. I remember reading an article several years ago -- I think it was in "Premiere" -- about cult films. The journalist called up an exec at 20th Century Fox to ask about the success of Office Space as a cult film. The guy was looking up data while he was on the phone with the journalist saying..."yeah...it's in our top 500...wait a minute, in our top 100...wait a minute...[amazed]...it's in our top 20 best-selling DVDs?!?" He then went on to ask the *journalist* if he could ask Mike Judge when he talks to him if he wanted to make a sequel! Not long after, the Office Space Special Edition came out...a good 6 years after the movie's release. I know the studios are looking more closely at DVD sales now, and that can only be good for us and Joss, whether it means more new products or [wishful sigh] a return to old favorites. All I know is I converted another friend visiting from out of town...he was scanning my DVD shelves and pulled Firefly out from about 500 others and said, "I've been wanting to see this...I loved the movie." He and his wife watched 5 hours of it between Saturday afternoon and Sunday night! :-)

It makes me wish that Fox, rather than cancelling the series, would have been willing to try syndicating it instead. I really do think the show would have done well that way.

Networks are so skittish these days. They seem to be seeking instant hits and just are not willing to give shows a chance to build an audience.

If someone tried to launch "Seinfeld" in this climate, they would most certainly not see a second season. And then we would have lost years of some of the best TV ever made.

Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on!

Recently addicted, hoping for more too. I just bought the R4 SE version. I had the 2nd disc in a few nights ago and kinda nodded off, but woke up when Joss had a Q&A session with decent sized audience. He talked (rather teased) of a sequal maybe being in the think tank. Wouldn't absolutely commit, but sure got my hopes up. It's definately on his mind. Funny thing is though, I bought Serenity by mistake, thinking it was something else. Liked it so much I bought the box set, then the SE version.

Joss certainly has ideas for sequels. The only problem is getting the money people to take a shot on it again. Special edition sales figures could help there.

Oh that's great. See Universal even people who don't know what Serenifly is about when they get it like it.
