I'll agree, I interpreted that as "I don't want to have the *experience* of having something I love stomped to the ground in its infancy." His love for these characters and 'verse is pretty obvious. He's definitely learned some hard lessons in both TV and movie experiences, but he sounds like a scrapper. :-)

I want to respectfully acknowledge the very hard work of all the browncoats that came before me. If it weren’t for their efforts there would not have been a Serenity and if there hadn’t been a Serenity then I wouldn’t be here now.

This is just to show the negative attitude browncoats that if it hadn’t been for their opposites then there would be no browncoat me. I only found Firefly through finding the BDM and if there hadn’t been thousands of positive thinking browncoat brothers and sisters then Serenity would have only been a dream in Joss’s brainpan. Thank you elder browncoats for not giving up the fight. For showing me the independent fighters light. It is my duty I feel to carry on and hold the line for the yet to find the signal browncoats. What right do I have to give up now? There are still thousands upon thousands of browncoats still to be made and tons of coin to be made by a network or studio willing to put a little effort into great entertainment like this.

Why is it that if you are to be a true browncoat, you're only allowed to say things like "We can't give up the fight." or "I'm just built that way, Firefly is coming back, I know it," or "I'm a rebel, thats just how I'm built. For all you guys who are negative..." and so on. Why is it so against the thought police that anyone would, when asked whether they thought the show was coming back, say "Wish it would, but it doesn't look like it." Like there is only one permitted opinion, or else you're not a true fan. The thing I liked about Malcolm Reynolds character is that he was smart, knew the odds, acknowledged the odds, and fought anyway. Please open your heart to the thousands upon thousands of fans who may occasionally say something negative, but who have spent years, time, money, and effort to get the show back, but reserve the right to say whatever they want to, thought police damned.

Here here. This is why I got upset over a few post's that said if your not fighting your lazy and not a true Browncoat. There have been quite a lot recently, with new people coming aboard and enthusiatic to bring the show back (which I admire and respect. More power to us) But lately when anyone says it doesn't look like it's going to happen, especially by those who've fought since the beggining, we're seen as lazy, not real browncoats, or worse turncoats. Look I don't want to make this into an argument but OneTrueBix had it right when he said this is a public board and we have the same right to say what we feel. Is there a chance for Firefly to come back to television? I want it to, even to this day I pray for a miracle, but let's face it, after 5 years that miracle doesn't seem forthcoming. Firefly took it's last burn.

Now having said that I ain't saying it can't come back as a sequel (which is what we're all hoping and striving for) maybe even a made for tv movie (if Sci Fi ever get their heads out of their arses and pick it up) I'll hope for a Sequel, a Trilogy, hell even hand puppet theater if Joss made it, but don't rag on those who say it coming back to tv as the original show is highly un-likely, cause even Joss said it ain't.

Let's all remember, Vet's and New recruits alike, WE'RE ALL BROWNCOTS, WE'RE ALL FANS. And just cause some have retired from the fight doesn't mean they've given up, they just made a place for you to take up where they left off.

Nuff said.

Now THAT is good news. He wouldn't go through all that trouble to get the rights to the show if he didn't have something planned for it down the road.

Muddersmilk, MISSTRESSAHARA,

A Browncoat is a fan of Firefly.

Period.

I have heard over the years "You're not a true Browncoat if you don't..." and it wasn't true then and it isn't true now.

About the comments that seem to attribute to the "Thought Police", which I may have written, they were trying to state a different view point from yours. That doesn't mean that you aren't allowed to think or post what you believe.

There are some Browncoats that I respect greatly that don't believe there will be an on screen continuation of Firefly (anytime soon). That doesn't diminish my respect in them in the least.

It is however something that I am still working towards and will continue to post about.

Hey! You can be Alliance and STILL be a fan of Firefly buster! Keep in mind that River, Simon, and Inara were Alliance.

With all the jokes aside. I feel that Joss will eventually return to Firefly because it will be the one thing that will keep him in the game. Also, I get the sense that all the actors who played in Firefly would, regardless of what they are involved in at the time, would jump at the chance for a new Firefly series. Last time I checked, not ONE of their careers were doing very well. Mark my words. Firefly will be back.
