I am up for that too! I'm here after all and am damned glad to be! :) And I hope Joss can continue the story on film one day soon.
I think I just balked at holding up a soldier of Imperial Japan as an "ennobling example" or in any way likening Firefly fans to them. I doubt you would find many Chinese, Koreans or others in that part of the world who would have a high opinion of the Imperial Japanese army. Not to mention the ghosts of the thousands of POW's who died at the hands of their Japanese captors. I had family who fought those bastards. I'm not up for giving any moral credit to them, the Fascists or the Nazis of that war.

We hold until Joss says it's completely and utterly done. And even then, the flame will be alight in our hearts for more from the 'Verse from somewhere.

Damn Straight. It's weird that over the past year, I've seeing the fanbase growing on Xbox Live. I've seen gamertags like :AllianceTrooper,ZoeqpWash 4EVER, RiverTamSeesYou, Im A Browncoat, M12o UN1V3RSE and so on.. It's almost like a whole army of these guys coming out of the woodwork.

I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
I think that is the greatest testament to the longevity of Firefly, other then You cant' stop the signal. My Firefly Fandom is quite new, and I didn't watch the series (all 14 eps in a row) until christmas eve, and then watched Serenity the next day. This is not a story that is complete. Nor is it one that can be silenced. How many shows have had a movie sequel after only half a season before being cancelled? Only one: Firefly. It's been 8 years since the show went off the air, and 5 since Serenity was released, but new merchandise and stories keep coming from the 'Verse, both licensed and fan made. This thang aint goin' nowhere no time soon :)

As technology and distribution becomes less expensive and available, I can envision Joss having his own studio and being free from studios second guessing him. He could start out by creating a kind of pay per view web based Firefly mini series, and also sell DVDs with extra goodies too. As the success of this grows, and it will, then bigger productions can be made.
We already know that Joss and the cast would love to get together again and create more Firefly... the problem so far has been the rights being held by studios who don't want to put money into a project they don't see making a profit. We know better... it just has to be done right.
And yes... we hold, until the Captain comes back.
I like the way you think! I sure hope you are right and that this is exactly what happens. I'd be happy to pony up my coin for a pay per view web based series, dvds, or whatever other ingenious way Joss comes up with to continue the story.

Everything comes back, but only the rain knows when the flower will bloom.

To be fair, Police Squad only had 3 of 6 episodes aired and it spawned the Naked Gun Trilogy.

That would be pretty cool. I'd settle for a continuation of the series in CGI like they did with Starship Troopers.

I'd be cool with a live action revival with mostly new actors. And by that I mean they would play new characters from the 'Verse.
