A few observations from the end of the poll.
Everyone seemed to put forth their best effort there at the end. Word got around that the end was nigh.

Moonlight was coming on really strong, beating us regularly, and from what Rich was saying, they had the largest number of individuals voting, and few of them with timers. If they'd gotten organized & used FlyVote or something similar, things could've gotten mighty interesting. There's a whole lotta 'if' between where they ended up & first place (most centered around realizing that your show isn't coming back no matter what you do. So do you still vote?), but it would've been fun to see how things turned out.

It was a fun run. When we got started on this in earnest we were way down in the polls struggling to break the top 10 and I figured the best we could ever really hope for was to make it to the top 5. Now look at us top of the heap and holders of pretty much every record. Once again we have done the impossible.

Yup - miss it, miss it BAD. I think I started vumping when Firefly was below the Queer as Folk show so that's gotta be about two years give or take.
Even before I retired and was still working, I'd make sure I was near a computer every hour to do my bit for the little ship that could.
Imagine if we'd all chipped in a buck per vump? That'd be enough for a couple of Serenity sequels or a few years more of the series. *Sigh* wishful, wishful thinkin'.
Last year while I was at Dragon*Con for the inaugural march of the 76th my dear husband voted for me so he knew how much I cared about it.
Whether you all have known it or not, you've carried me through a LOT - my mom's illness and death - the most recent sadness of having my dog die and just the silly day to day stuff as well. I will miss this so much and hope we can come up with something else soon. Love you all.

Take back 1st place at TVtally. We lost it.

Hug to Sister.

You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels… makes her a home.

Well, I'll keep plugging away at the other voting sites. Too bad the guys running TVTally aren't maintaining their code (there appear to be some cheat in play from time to time), as that one does seem to attract the same fandoms.

I think we'll eventually get another movie, because the continued sales of the DVDs has to register with the studio. It took Star Trek over a decade for their fan base to grow large enough to get the first movie made. It took in (world wide) four times its production cost ($35 million, which adjusted for inflation, would be over $90 million.)

How about a new rev of flyvote that pops up for TVTally every six hours, and has the other voting sites on it as well?

All I can say is once again Firefly fans prove we're more loyal and dedicated than any other fans in the 'verse!! Go us:)

Hi, Browncoats!

Just wanted to thank all of you as personally as possible for your participation at TV_Vote! It was a great run and you guys made a lot of it happen!

As a long-time Joss Whedon fan, I hope he'll give us the next installment of the Firefly saga as a movie and more after that!

Thanks again to all of you - especially Flattop and Ray!

See you around the 'verse!

Many thanks. You ran a class operation. Much better than anything else out there.
