So you don't think that Joss is just giving up...

When the show was cancelled in 2002, he was heartbroken. He vowed at the time that the story would continue in some form... and continue it did, both in the movie (which would never have been made without the devotion and tireless efforts of Joss, his gang, and the fanbase) and in some comic books.

When the movie proved to be a failure--at least in terms of being financially successful enough to merit a sequel--I think it broke Joss on some level. He'd had his heart broken twice by his love of FIREFLY.

Although he came back with other projects, he apparently says in his DOLLHOUSE commentary that after having his heart broken so badly, he no longer allows himself to fall in love with his work. Kind of sad, really.

My point, however, is that Joss has done everything he can to keep FIREFLY going in the past, and if he's not talking about it now, it's probably because he's out of steam.

Make no mistake, though, we've been fighting a war since December of 2002, and that war ain't done yet.

One of the writers (Molina?) has said they're part of the third volume of the Firefly companion books. Amazon says it'll be released in April.

Maybe you should change your handle to "Semi-Oldguy"....

You're even older than I thought!

Welcome to our little bit of the 'Verse. Lots of talk around here. And I just thought I'd mention that I'm involved with a little fan film that will premiere in September at Dragon*Con in Atlanta.

It'll benefit some of the favorite charities of the cast. Take a look see at www.browncoatsmovie.com. It's not Firefly but takes place in the same 'Verse.

Also look on You Tube for "Mosquito". It's a fan film/parody of Firefly done a few years ago by some enterprising Canadian Browncoats and is really good.

obituary for "old guy" June 18, 2069...
Old Guy passed away yesterday with a gesture of love as he handed his granddaughter what appeared to be a small collection of early 21st century media once known as a "DVDs"...apparently a nature program about insects or the habits of fireflys...commonly known as lightning bugs that once existed in north america before global cooling pushed them far south of the border of the United Nations North Continent (UNNC).

Old Guy's grandaughter reported that she was a tad confused with granpaoldguy's final words to her as he handed her the worn-edged plastic cases, looked into her eyes and said...
"I'm over it"

Welcome to the site Gards. Glad to have you aboard.

Like others have said, we were just as confused as you are when Fox decided to pull the plug, but we learned that they just didn't get it and their meddling with the show sure didn't help matters much.

So here we are, hanging on this board talking about a show long gone and what could have been. Browncoats are a tenacious lot.
