You are wise beyond your years, FollowMal. Thanks for all you say and do!

Followed your prospero forums discussion last week about attitudes between Browncoats. You have class, lady.

In the contest of Us vs. Them, the PTB make better Thems than fellow Browncoats. We need even more cooperation between Browncoats if we're going to see more of the 'verse. And I agree, we have so much to already be grateful for, and more on the way.

I am pretty passionate about that subject although totally unqualified to be discussing it, lol.
Thank you though.

I believe so too. Uni needs to see #'s. #'s of folks and #'s of dollars. United #'s of folks.

Thank you for your kindness.

HEH...xmas gifts oh yes...AND My QMX postcards arrived today...and I've written five of them myself already...as soon as husband gets home..he'll be assigned to write at LEAST one...also a friend at work and his SON will be given a postcard to send...and my veterinarian's receptionist and HER son have agreed to write a postcard to Universal as well! Quite a nice little bunch of fans from a tiny town in Tennessee.

Don't Stop...Belevin'...hold on to that feelin'!

I can not and will not ever give up hope. Until the day I die, I will be preaching Shepherd Book's good word of Serenity to everyone I can find. There are many fans of many shows out there, from Star Trek to Star Wars, BSG to SG but none are Browncoats. We fought the Alliance and we won and damnit to hell, WE WILL NOT GO OUT WITHOUT ANOTHER FIGHT! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! Until every ear has heard, every eye has seen and every psyche has been touched, WE WILL HOLD THE LINE! why? It's quite simple really:

YOU CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL!

Alright, not to sound bitchy or highjack this thread OR to discourage the Browncoats out there from fighting for the cause, I just want to reiterate the reason some people may not be fighting as hard any more is because after 5 years PEOPLE GET TIRED.

It's not that they've given up the fight or lost all hope, but they had to go from dissapointment of watching their show shuffled around every Friday (I still remember when I'd turn on the tv and wonder why an Adam Sandler film was on in place of my Firefly. Adam Sandler? WTF?) from cacellation, from fighting for it to come back (friggenfux) to waiting and fighting and more waiting to finally hearing those words "We're making a movie." to waiting for the movie (and the shock therein, but I won't go into that) only to see the low box office reciepts.

At that point many of the Veterans who started the campaign to getting it back on the air had..... I won't say given up. Retired may be the proper word, allowing fresh troops to come and take up the call. And I've been coming here since the cancellation so I've seen a loooooot of people come and go, and come and go.

I'm not trying to start an argument, I just want the new recruits to understand that those you who say are doomsayers, grumbling and moaning that nothing may come of it, they're just tired, weary, have been through this 2 (now 3 times) and are beggining to wonder if they just shouldn't move along for good. But never once will you find that these people (the Vet's) have lost all hope. If we did we never would have had a movie.

So I encourage the troops to rally and fight, just remember there may come a time when you'll feel the need to step aside and let the fresh troops take your cause.

I just ordered the complete series of Rome, and the complete series of Deadwood.

I was very impressed with the character quality in Rome, so ..... i'm hoping that tides me over for another 6 months ....

.. Dont give up!

I definately see where you are coming from Misstress. Five years for a tv programme is a long time.
to tell you the truth i really would just settle for a books.
that is what they've done with star wars excetra. i don't care when where or how, i just want the story.
Tell the generals we will stand guard while they resume their strength. I just can't believe the money that the company is willing to loose by not returning such a much loved Series. they would be rolling in it if they just let Joss tell his story and let's face it, isn't the money all they care about.

well i disagree completely johanna - star wars has had six films plus two spin off features, two cartoon shows and an xmas special - with two more series coming up!

but Mistress - tut tut - come and go, it's a harsh life being a fan - of course it is and sheesh! we are a caring community, people get fatigue they need rest sometimes sure!:)

but think of the trek fans - the BDM felt a little flat to you?... so now you're in danger of righting off anything new?? trek fans had to suck on 'Spocks Brain' they had to 'Journey to Eden' - yet they kept their flame bright and they knew darn well the people that MADE Trek genuinely loved it - 10 years they wanted more and they waited and they got.... Star Trek The Motion Picture

and Gorram if the arguments weren't exactly the same as for the BDM!!! What was with Kirk being so obesessive - why was Spock so Cold - and scotty hardly in it - yadda yadda.

They got Wrath of Khan coz they kept going - and it did real well and everybody loved everybody all over again and then they made the Search For Spock and i shot myself.

I gather after that there were whales and jet boots...

and then they announced The Next Generation - we were in the 1990s now - jeez - and star trek with the WRONG cast??? but they made it anyhow and it did real well and everybody loved everybody all over again - and star trek span off in all directions and there were series and movies everywhere and so i shot myself all over again.

BUT

it goes to show you never can tell.
