To BDH,

I'm truly love this show, but I have nothing against those who choose to "dress up" (as a matter of fact some people make a good living doing just that).

I was directing my comments at the lunkheads who had a very different vision than those who have come to love this show. Namely the person who pulled the plug on FF at Fox.

This show is so loved that it attracts all kinds of people. And, as you have stated, the world we live in is in the sh*thole. That is something that's real and exists outside of our computer screens, televisions and movie theaters. I would never drink "kool-aide" for JW, or anyone for that matter, other than my family.

At first, I didn't agree with your statement to "move on" and that too much is being made of a lost cause. But now I see what your saying.

Wake up and come to your senses people, bad things happen in this world, its time to face facts and realize that this impossible dream about a show will never happen - stop dreaming!

Funny though - this show was born out of reality, which Fox chose to take a chance on and then, in their infinite wisdom, chose to cancel. It was so good it spawned websites and forums and the like where people like us "plain folk" could comment and exchange ideas. Well then, we come full circle.

JW created a world from his imagination that we have all come to love and love to talk about. We want to recapture the experience of discovering that world in anyway we can. We hope against hope that someone with enough clout will see what we see and produce this show once again, so that, for a few moments, we can be passengers on Serenity and forget about the sh*t in the world.

Your comments are truly appreciated by this browncoat 'cause it reminds me of why I love FF/Serenity.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

Even if Dollhouse becomes a hit you guys will still hate FOX, even tho they have'nt canceled; HOUSE, BONES, 24, Prison Break, T:TSCC, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Cops, Americas Most Wanted and King of the Hill to name a few. Just admit it, you guys love to hate FOX.

i find that fox is a lowest common denominator network that believes that if a show isnt an instant hit will drop it like a ugly stepchild .i mean look at all the reality crap it shows .this is because it likes to spend as little on shows for the most gain .to be honest im glad firefly isnt with them anymore or they would be adding americas got talent charectors by now into the show and making all the shows have a pro government vibe

its a me miike

One show that did worse than Firefly in the ratings(in the same time slot as Firefly on Friday nights no less) for it's first season, and survived:

-The X-Files

And look what happened with the second season. Word of mouth, good promotion, and the ratings doubled.

Whedon said Fox just didn't want Firefly. It was all them. They didn't think it fit their image as a network.

THANKS FOX!!!

Agreed.

I don't hate Fox per se. I just don't like it when a good show, regardless of the network, is taken off the air because, well lets see.

I believe Oppyh makes a good point. Perhaps this is politically motivated in some way. Fox is known as a conservative thinking network following in lockstep with the current administration's modis operandi, and FF, although not strictly a politically motivated show, does have elements of independent thinking and love for freedom as its underlying message. And FF is more anti-corporate than anti-big government....makes you go Hhmmmmmm, doesn't it.

Well suffice to say that Fox has several "good" shows in their lineup, so why not have another hit show that would definitely increase the bottom line by attracting more viewers who may potentially buy the crap common folk can't afford anymore (Thanks Bushie).

BTW The X-Files was one of my fav shows - did you know that Mulder's first name was Fox - so thats a perfect example of a slow starter that turned out to be a hit for several seasons on Fox. And lighting would have struck twice with FF had the good folk at the network not felt so threatened by a show about 9 people hurtling through space in a tin can called Serenity.

But a new day is on the horizon, the tide will turn and no longer will our constitution be shredded to advance the agenda of the filthy rich and order will be restored to the galaxy...er, I mean the world. Damn that Firefly! Keep flying.

Thems that got shall get, thems that not shall lose,
so the Bible says and it still is news....
