My interest would certainly be diminished, and I would be very skeptical.... but I'd still give it a shot and judge from there.

Yeah I think it would be basically like the new Buffy movie. I don't hate the idea but I don't have any added interest in it over any other movie.

Sorry, but don't see spending hard earned money and energy to try to revive a dead show. Whedon banked on his Buffy fame and lost. America wasn't ready for a sci-fi with horses! Fox was to blame as well. No matter how much you pray to Buddha for that "plastic rocket" it isn't going to happen. This obsession bordering on a cult like devotion to a GD TV show isn't going to help you either. That is why America is morally and ethically bankrupt. To many people live their lives through their tv. Yeah I said it.

Don't know if this was already posted, but Patrick Rothfuss, author of the Name of the Wind, has this to say:

I'm *EAGERLY* anticipating my copy of "Wise Man's Fear." And I'll be buying it as a paperback to share with others, and an ebook (sorry Patrick) for my iPod nook app.

The ones who are organizing this (anonymous, so maybe still slightly shif-tay) aren't collecting money yet, and won't until they hear from Nathan Fillion, Joss Whedon, Tim Minear - anyone who might officially want to do this. If the campaign falls down, I'll be the first to cut this off.

Quote:Do NOT get me started on Fox. However, considering 23,000 people have joined the Facebook page for Help Nathan buy Firefly - since it started on Monday - some small part of America and possibly the world is definitely ready.

Ooh... get all those folks together into a stadium and get them all chanting "Browncoat" - BETTER!! Have each one record it, put it together on YouTube... It would follow the general application of this campaign.

Quote:Whoa, turn down the teapot, dude. I think it's enough we're talking about this. Politics and the moral and ethical stand of Americans is a topic for another thread - by virtue of the potential sheer volume.

Quote:My education's just fine, thanks. I got the student loans to prove it... oh, wait, was that your signature quote?

So you're quoting a cult TV series that doesn't stand a tinker's damn of being revived, posting with one of Universal's images of the character played by the man who allegedly started all this with a random comment.
Does that qualify as ironical? I have trouble differentiating what is and is otherwise just coincidence.

GeekOut has a logo I might wear on a T-shirt, and for me, that's saying something.

Somewhat more cynical outlook on the whole endeavor, but considering the multitude of responses I'm getting, pretty much on par.

Rionaire - thank you for your comments. Being a Browncoat sure isn't easy, is it?

Am very much looking forward to Wise Man's Fear myslf. Always liked Mr. Rothfuss. Now officially love him. And his almighty beard.

Did you see the Firefly owner's tweet? @Rupert_Murdoch: You can take the sky from me - for a price.
There was no mention in his following tweets of how much Rupert would charge the fans for the copyright. Presumably, the higher the fan enthusiasm, the higher the price, with the sky being no limit. You know what happens when trusting fans match wits against Rupert Murdoch? He will set you adrift without fuel and air. If you can't keep secret how much money you raise, he will take every cent, leaving you with nothing to make the show after you buy the rights from him.
