Another thing to convice whomever is to be conviced is to build international fun base. I could make some activities here in Latvia to show that Firefly is loved literally all over the world.
If anyone sees ways to involve us, please let me know or contact at raitis.misa@gmail.com

at this point, eight years later, the only think that will count is money. if the dvd sales and online downloads and whatnot continue to be awesome, and when avengers ( directed by joss, right?) come out and if that is a big hit, which it probably will be, then there is a shot. but im betting that avengers is what everyone is waiting for before they will be in serious talks. so we have another couple of years to hold. but we've done it before.
awesome as always

It seems very unlikely at this point. Maybe when it is old enough to be 'redone' like BSG, Star Trek TOS to TNG, that kind of thing, but I'm sure you've all seen Joss's interview:
In the new SFX Worlds Of Whedon special, Joss Whedon reveals why it’s painful to even contemplate the idea of making a Serenity 2:
While it wasn’t a box office barn burner, Serenity is now something of a hit on DVD and Blu-ray, which makes the possibility of a sequel seem more likely. Alas, Whedon only shakes his head at the prospect: “As far as Firefly is concerned, that will always be unfinished business. Serenity was a Band-Aid on a sucking flesh wound. I think every day about the scenes that I’ll never get to shoot and how badass they were. It’s nice to know that people still care about Firefly but it’s actual grief that I feel. It’s not something you get over, it’s just something you learn to live with.”
I do hope you join our journey in 'strange frame' as we now have excellent talent including folks from the Whedonverse like Drusilla/Juliet Landau.
You never know. 'strange frame' might put us in a position to do an animated Firefly series. I'm friends with Jose Molina via one of my classmates and old friends who is the Producer on Castle, so I know we can find some room in Nathan's schedule.

Just wondering the interest in another grassroots type of effort akin to the Blue glove Assault, only this one taking place on Jayne Cobb Day (16JAN).
In essence it has the same effect but with a slightly different medium: orange yarn
The idea would be to send 14 inches (for the 14 episodes of the series) of orange yarn (Jaynes hat) in with a card promoting, in your own words/quotes, the series. Mail date (to ensure a unified approach) occuring ON January 16th and going to Universal (any other place idea?)
hope to have your support and inclusion! Any questions?
There's no place I can be since I found Serenity

Hi, guys. New here but been a fan since '06. I've bought numerous copies of firefly dvd and Serenity dvd plus the blu ray versions of both and all the comics/trade paperbacks.
I've seen comments on this thread that state that in order to convince the suits to re-light Firefly, we need to "show them the money" which is true. But, in order to do that, we need to win over fresh recruit browncoats in much larger numbers. Increase awareness as to the greatness of this show so that the number of paying customers increases exponentially.
So the question is, of course, how. How do we give people a taste for free? At first, I bought 3 extra sets and gave them away. Well, that's great but I only won over 3 people.
About 2 weeks ago, it hit me.
The Library!
Did you know you can borrow movies at your local library? For FREE?
Give away sets to your local library. So far, I've bought through Amazon, Ebay and other sites 4 dvd sets of Firefly 3 dvds of Serenity and a blu ray set of each plus 1 each of the Serenity graphic novel/trade paperbacks available.
Donate sets to the library. Or better yet, donate only half the season of firefly and let the newbies buy their own. Then we get fresh Browncoats spending $ at a whole new level.
Spread the word. Try it out.
Keep flying.
Love keeps her in the air...

Remember, Star Trek finally became a major motion picture some 15 years AFTER the original series was canceled. Dont lose hope. Keep spreading the word. Buy more copies to give out to friends, family members and others.
Even if it takes ANOTHER 8 YEARS, I. Wont. Stop. Show's too gorram good to tuck tail n quit now.

What is this "li-bra-ry" place of which you speak??? I know of no such place....
Yes, giving sets to a library was a great idea when I gave one to our old library in 2006, and by all means please do so if yours doesn't have one...It's an old idea, but a good'un...
I was thinkin' a little more moderno -it'd be great to have all the show scripts or movie script available on Kindle, iff'n they aren't already???? I'm not getting mine 'till next month, sooo I dunno...
Anybody have a Kindle or have it downloaded on ur PC?

It might seem a little "low-tech" or outdated but with the economy the way it is, people are looking for cheap entertainment.(I know I am) But let's think about that set you donated. The local library lets one borrow DVDs for two weeks at a time.
So let's just assumed, for the sake of convenience, that one doesn't re-borrow the set and this set gets checked out again the same day it was returned. 26. At most that's twenty six new converts to the browncoat cause in a years time.
I'm talking about donating multiple sets; enough that even though there are copies checked out, there's always one there for the hungry viewer.(Especially blu-ray as there are less available for borrowing and they kinda stand out. Plus, blu ray is just awesome!)
Now, reading the scripts is just fine and I'd love to have a look-see on Kindle my own self, but, as any good film-maker will tell you, and in the case of Firefly as well, show; dont tell. And this show really must be seen to be enjoyed and appreciated, as I'm sure you'll agree.
You know, I've been looking at that poll on the left-hand side of the screen ever since I came across this site. How much am I willing to donate, annually, to get Firefly up and running again? That poll was my inspiration and if I come across as pushy or that this idea is the be-all end-all to get Firefly back on, well, that's not my intent.
I just have a deep love for this series and wish more people did, too. If the show is ever to be re-ignited, we have to put our money where our mouths are and show the suits what a money maker this show is.
Doesn't matter how many blue gloves we sent to the network, the issue is money. Does it make money?
So, my question is this: How much ARE we willing to spend, annually, to get her back in the air?

Yeah, get the word out! Donate to the library. Just check with the librarian first to make sure they get into circulation.

Jayne: Don't know them folks, don't care to.
Mal: They're whores.
Jayne: I'm in.

Houston Browncoats donated to local libraries several years ago now. Those libraries loan them out 1 DVD at a time :) I check in on their availability every so often and its nice to see there is a waiting list for more than just the first dvd :)
Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse
