Ni Howdy fellow Browncoats! In case anyone had not heard the Shiny folks over at the Universal HD channel have picked up the BDS for another full run starting in a little over a month. The show was not originally scheduled to be picked up again after it's airing in 2007 but the influx of fans and traffic to the Universal HD Firefly Fans forum I've been told basically caused the Universal VPs to rethink that position. (My source for this information is the Universal_HD site Admin "A shiny Browncoat in his own right" who I now communicate with frequently since becoming a Moderator for those forums. No pay but the inside info is well worth it!!)

Anyway, Firefly will be re-aired in a weekly format like a normal series and will be shown in its proper order all in HD.

Even if you don't have HD or don't get the Universal HD channel you can join the boards for free and still show Universal (Makers of Serenity) that you want more of the 'Verse and that they should make Serenity 2.

Cordrone,

I don't know if this makes a difference or not....but my husband & I just changed our services to the Direct TV package with the Universal HD. We bought a new HD-TV this Christmas! :smiles:

Firefly never looked so good!

Hmmm....ya think I should write the folks a letter?

Oh- and we did not download the Firefly eps from XBOX Live. It didn't looks as pretty & from what I understand.....writers get 0 dollars from the downloaded episodes.

I'm just glad that I get to watch my favorite show in HD. I have a lot of show that I love and I can't get them in HD yet.

Seriously, I have spent my share on FF/S. No one will ever learn about how much $$I have really spent. I am taking that info to my grave!!

Anyhoo--I will send in an letter. You never know....

I just wish they'd bring out a HD DVD (or BluRay) of Firefly. I would spend the cashey money on it faster than I can say: "I would spend the cashey money on it." :)

Best thing to do Spacegirl32 is to join the boards and post that info. The Admin there reports weekly to some Universal VP's and he brings our Browncoat desires and stories directly to those folks during his planning meetings with them.

This is the main reason I'm so very adamant about Browncoats join the site, posting, and such. The folks there can actually SEE us and have been responsive, on a smaller scale, to what we want. It is my notion that they will respond on a LARGER scale if there are more users there. As of 5 mins or so ago there are ONLY 1,736 registered users on the Universal boards and of those 1,736 users approx 1,500 are Browncoats (I'm user #176 and have been keeping count sorta from there). that's not enough for the Universal folks to say... "You know the fan base for this show/movie is big enough that I think it warrants us to invest in a sequel."

However, if there are 10,000 screaming Browncoats then that's a different story! I know that with all the fan sites out here in the black that numbers like that are easy to meet.

The impossible was done once before and I think it can be done again. So please join the 100% free Universal HD Firefly Fan Forums and show Universal that they really should be making a BigDamnSequel. you need not have HD to join the boards folks! http://boards.nbcuni.com/universalHD/index.php?showforum=4
