Thanks for that. And here's the photo mentioned in #10. I didn't know about that.

I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

Death wise I always figured a giant blaze of glory, but the irony works for me (as well as the fact that he took the opportunity to fame whore himself into riches). Also, everyone elses' future seems to be an interesting tick. Even Kaylee and Simon, who I usually don't OTP.

If anything, I'm viewing the stories as non-canon in the vein of the Star Wars comics/novels. Meaning they're more of a possible AU instead of being exactly what happens. If anything, they're like fanfic written by people who were apart of production. Unless of course Joss says "THOU ART CANON." Because then the voice of god says so, and it is ;)

Your Indian Pirate Lord,

Same.

Also, *mutant horse'd!* is now a sound effect.

Chances are good that Simon/Kaylee are Jose Molina's OTP, and removing Jayne in his fanfic was killing the love triangle hypotenuse.

That's actually kinda the reverse of how Star Wars does it, in which the EU (It's extended Universe - not alternate) stuff is cannon until George says otherwise.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

2. Firefly is dead :-/ Books and comics doesn't cut it.

*sighs*

Reading things like this just serves to remind me how very much I miss the show, the cast, and the 'verse.

The author of the article is right, it still hurts after all this time.

For some. But there's a long tradition in sci-fi and other genres of continuing on the story in book and comic form.

Star Wars was mentioned above, as a prominent example, the books and comics are probably better than the film prequels. I actually DO consider those canon within that fandom.

I'll agree that we don't have much shot at another movie or tv series, but Firefly isn't dead, not for a lot of people, and you really shouldn't state that as fact. Complaining about how the only activity is in comics and companion books just comes off like you've eaten pine nuts so you can't stand taking a step down to peanuts.

...That analogy soooo doesn't work if you have an allergy...
