Shoreguy,

I know it looks dire on the quick look, but look and listen deeper. I know it's hard to wait and I myownself think our chances have gotten smaller but here recently there's cause for a bit of hope. :)

3 things give me pause and make me happy...

Joss said the sales of the CE will impact whether or not we get more. That gives us something we can REALLY do, a way to have an effect. Buy the CE for your friends and family for gifts this holiday seasaon, share the beauty that is Firefly/Serenity. Join in with fandom efforts to have a "buy the CE day" when we have one.

Joss and the BDH's have all recently said in various interviews that they love the 'Verse and they're interested in doing more. That's a wonderful thing. They still love it as much as we do. They're actors and in Joss' case a man who must move forward with all the ideas in his head.
They have to make a living and become interested in new things, it's a given. To know that they all love this project after all this time and remain loyal to it as we do says a lot.

This fandom is still here, still doing good works ( see how much we raised for Equality Now with the CSTS screenings and the recent KidsNeedtoRead charity that was inspired within our ranks ) and still interested in more and willing to put their wallets and their mouths behind it. Look at all the recently released QMX products officially santioned by Uni. There are three BC events this fall! Two conventions and a Cruise. The RPG is being expanded. We're alive and well- all of us.
While we live and breathe as Browncoats every day, the wish and hope for a sequel is alive and well.

What's with all this doom and gloom? We're browncoats ain't we? We've done the impossible! Just look at all we've accomplished, against the odds, despite what naysayers wrote on the boards and in articles. We got our dvd set, we got the BDM, we have comics, statues, action figures, collectible cards, ornaments, and all the shiny stuff at QMx. No reason to believe we're done yet.

Quittin' ain't in our dictionary. We stop when Joss says it's over. Not before.

Have we got any idea on how many copies of the CE have been sold?

I dunno, Canter... there was a thread re: sales up in the first couple of weeks after it's release.

Right now... it's not even in the top 100 sellers at Amazon.com. Sales online have always been our strongest suit. We aren't apparently doing that at the moment.

I'd like to see us have a fandom wide buying day before the holidays to boost the sales. Just sayin'.

I know that as browncoats we know we're too pretty to be ended.
Perhaps shoreguy is just not as pretty as us.

Nope...We're all just floatin' here...That's the

short , half-empty answer...

The long answer is : We're Browncoats ! Now ,

put down that gorramn can of beans and do

something !

Buy a Serenity CE for someone , buy Firefly for

a group of firefighters , and join the Wave Card

campaign ! And, listen to some shiny Browncoat

music while you do all the foregoing !

Then , watch 'Done The Impossible' and be proud

of yourself again !

Looks mighty pretty to me. ;-)
Thank you Out2TheBlack.

Whoooaaa. How did I do that?
I meant Shoreguy, who seemed despondent regarding our hopes.
My apologies to Out2theblack for the error in attribution. You seem mighty pretty enough. I also went back and corrected my post. Obliged to FollowMal for catching my error.

IMHO, ShoreGuy is just as pretty as us, maybe just a tad more realistic by nature and being enthusiastic has become hard to do. That happens. Pefectly pretty in it's own way. :-)

There are BC's who have become bitter, despondent, low of spirit and have quit having fun.
That's sad. For them as well as for us all.

We have so much to be grateful for as Browncoat1 says above. I like to turn my mind to those things and hope for the future... not unrealistically... but with involvement and happiness.

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, as it probably has, but I can't find it...

Does anyone know if the CE is scheduled to be released in anything other than Region 1?
