I already donate $2,000+ a year with my wife and I am on SS and she has a shitty job. It's all about the money.






This idea has been passed around before, but if it ever got off the ground I'd gladly donate $500 to the cause. Heck, I'd get another job and donate that check weekly to Joss to get the show going again.

Welcome Aboard!

It always makes me happy when we get new folks aboard. They all got stories!

There's a lot to explore and enjoy from our little short lived masterpiece.

The one thing folks forgot to recomend is the fan documentary - Done The Impossible, made by fans about fans for fans. Our Firefly crew is included as part of the fans. Adam Baldwins introduces the various segments. It is 79 minutes long but has hours worth of information to explore on the computer. The easter eggs are a hoot. It is available through Amazon as well.

It is extremely well made and includes a timeline of what happened from Firefly to Serenity. I happen to be in it.

Welcom home,

While not late to watching the show I am late to this site. Just finished watching all the episodes again (do this about every 6mos or so). Everytime I watch the series I get mad that it was ever cancelled. This has to be the best work Wedon has done and it is better than 95% of all shows on TV today. Just wanted to toss that our there.

And well you should! It's excellent! I found it soon after I discovered the series and the BDM. I like the two new series thus far and am still trying to catch up on the older broadcasts! So, don't you dare stop The Signal! ;) ...or I'll find where you live and steal all your nifty Firefly collectibles! j/k ;)



Well it was actually YT that recommended us originally :-)

No, no plans to stop The Signal anytime soon - just appointed 4 new crew and are gearing up for Season 7. Should be good. Hoping that Firefly Talk will also continue it's return this year (after a 2 year hiatus).

Be nice if we could get listed in the Firecasts section of this site, but I've given up trying to get Haken's attention TBH. (I tried several times over an 18 month period to no avail. Only Firefly Talk is listed there and they haven't been online again until very recently. Just doesn't seem to want to know about The Signal or any of the other Firefly audio out there, which is a shame as there's lots of good stuff.)

Thanks for listening!

:) I feel the exact same way. I can't believe I waited this long to watch Firefly! We haven't seen Serenity yet, it's on the Netflix queue, but I think we're just going to buy the series and the movie.

I can't explain how much I freaking love this show. I found this place by doing a Google search for tattoo ideas (and did see some excellent ink!)

Thanks to the long-time fans for keeping it alive out here!

Here's an interesting statistic.

MCS0083, who started this thread, is member 43589, joining us on December 26 of last year. Less than two weeks later AmyL joins us as member 43786. Nearly 200 new members in the last two weeks, eight years after the cancellation.

If that's not a true indication that we're still flying I don't know what is.

And this isn't the only FF board. Isn't the Universal board still active?

Let's do the math. The result is horrifying: A hundred new Browncoats a week equals 5000 in a year equals 5 million in thousand years. Now compare that to Little Fockers, which sold $123 million in tickets in USA, so far. That's 13 million Americans went to see the Fockers in 2 weeks versus 5 million new Browncoats over a millennium. I think Fockers will be rebooted before Serenity II. . . . .

How much of a membership bump do we get everytime Serenity and/or Firefly are show on cable?
