Chindi: thanks for the details, and I am always interested in the convention 'downsides'...
the rushing through is understandable because there are always so many people waiting, and fans would take up 10-15 minutes each if given half a chance...

So how full was the convention? They seemed to have tickets available still on Friday, but did it seem like a lot of tickets went unsold (if I lived closer I totally would have decided to go at the last minute!)?

It really sounded like a huge success, I hope so...
I would like to go to another Firefly/Serenity convention someday (I went to the failed FlanII, but I enjoyed B3 a lot)

It was bigger than the flan for certain. I am not good at crowd estimates. I thought there were maybe 500 ppl.. someone else in another thread estimated 1000. I honestly do not know. I doubt it was as big as the BSG con last year... the only other con I have ever gone to... sorry.. someone more astute would need to assess the #s. I am certain they would sell more tix if they could...lol.. they are a business.

That they plan to do it next year already is encouraging.. I think....

you are right, of course, about how we would all linger in the lines at photos or autographs if we could, as that is our one-on-one time... so I do understand the gentle prodding, even as I dislike it! And pity the artists who have to put up with the same "witty" comments/questions etc from the fans.. lol.. it must get tiring..

No one I saw asked the crew outright about the sequel.. but I think the exchange between Alan and Nathan was fairly clear that there is NOTHING IN THE WORKS AT THE MOMENT.. having said that, the DOOR IS NOT SHUT AND BARRED EITHER!

Nathan was asked if he had the chance to return to this project at any time in the future would he=- and he said in great seriousness ABSOLUTELY. No hesitation. in a heartbeat (not actual quotes, but the gist of the answer.) Sean said he had fantasized about the opening of the sequel with Kaylee pregnant and shaving Simon's head, telling him he is just "too pretty"...

It is clearly on all of their minds, as it is on ours. There is nothing in the works, at this time. But the sales of the DVD and all the Serenity swag is getting noticed.. and that is not nothing... the planets may yet align... and I believe they will. And when they do, I know for certain that ONLY death could keep these ppl from returning to the ship and their "family"

Oh yeah. It was. I kinda ignored Summer and had a little convo with Sean while the cameraman was messing around and I felt a smidge guilty about that, but - when Sean is in the vicinity, there goes my attention . . .

I'll have my report, hopefully with pics, up next week.

Amazing event. Everyone should go next year. Creation pulled out ALL the stops and really chipped away at that bad rep. I didn't see a single unhappy person - and I talked to a LOT of people.

QMX DID say that Universal had taken notice of their sales . . .

more recollections...

Sean said his favorite bit in the series (they all said there were so many- but when pressed) he said it may have been the scene where he joined River on the pyre to face burning at the stake... he said the writing moved him and it summed up his relationship with River....

Nathan said it was when he woke up in OOG and asked if everyone would still be there when he woke up...

at one point, when pressed by a fan- he and Summer repeated the final dialogue in Serenity- Storms getting stronger etc. then, to playfully have the last word, Nathan said- "What was that?"

more memories as they trickle out of my brain

My jealousy is at a maximum right now...

Thanks for the updates guys, much appreciated.

Ive gotta ask...

They must have fielded questions about a sequel or a firefly return... what were the responses like?

Ive always believed that the cast love each other too much not to jump at a chance to work with each other again.. Some of these posts really warm my heart in this regard. Nathan Fillion really is the captain of an amazing crew.
