Help Nathan Buy Firefly

Which means our BDHs running the risk of making Firefly with the Devil in their midst.

The amount of coin the Devil, Rupert Murdoch, will charge is exactly equal to the amount of money he knows you have. The only possible way for there to be any money left to make the new Firefly is if the Devil does not know how much you raised. Gathering the money publicly gives the Devil complete, absolute, unbreakable power over you. It's not personal; it's business.

There is another way, a better way. Once he wins the lottery, Nathan Fillion could cut a deal with the Devil. If Rupert Murdoch doesn't accept Nathan's final offer for Firefly rights, Nathan could threaten him, Captain Reynolds style: “With the cash you're turning down, I figure I'll buy a statue of myself, Rupert. Monumentally big and situated in front of the place you were born in Australia. It will be me dressed as Capt. Mal and you, the Devil, kissing my ass.” It's not business; it's personal.

At that point, the Devil might realize that the Captain will walk away from any deal with too high a price. The Devil will not take all the money, leaving nothing to make new Firefly.

Yemen, Egypt, Libya... Firefly... it's all doable. You never know when that last straw is going to drop into place. I went to cnn.com yesterday and saw the second mention of this campaign on their front page - that's a lot of eyeballs. And then last night I heard Castle's mom say she was going to a Serenity Spa - crazy fun. Has any other canceled show gotten this much attention? It's almost more well known now for being canceled than anything else. I'd think it may reach a tipping point soon where so many people have heard about it and are really really really curious. Someone's going to bring it back to tv in some form - I have no doubt. In a funny, fitting way, it's getting treated like an old shoe and bounced around and mostly known on the fringes of regular society fits the show and crew perfectly.

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

Fun to see a mention of Firefly on CNN where it can be seen by so many people!
I agree about the logo, Channain- it's perfect t-shirt material. :)

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.

Golly, you must be fun at parties.

If you find this fandom so upsetting.... what the fuck are you doing here anyway?

Sure, pining for a TV show might not be the most effective use of time. But bitching about people talking about a show is several magnitudes below worthless.

Malcolm Reynolds, a real Browncoat, would be hard, cynical, and contemptuous toward FOX. He would not want his fans to be soft-headed. He might act something like this:

Did you see the Firefly owner's tweet? @Rupert_Murdoch: You can take the sky from me - for a price.

Wow....

You really think Murdoch gives a flip about the show one way or the other? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even know what it was.

He does know. He even watches his own network. I know that's hard to believe when he is so very, very busy and could easily pay a personal assistant to watch and write him a daily memo. “Is Rupert Murdoch Picking Shows for Fox?” - http://bit.ly/hQyjN0

Uh, yeah, did you read that?? It's about Murdoch maybe upping his involvement with the network NOW, since Chernin is gone. Now is not 8 years ago, where there was a full executive staff on hand.

It even says in there that the last time Murdoch had anything to do with programming was when he insisted that Fox air American Idol.... and that was 6 months before Firefly premiered.

Reading the article before posting it would be a wise notion in the future... Just FYI.

I just wanted to say I'm excited about the media attention this has been getting lately.

That's what I do. Although I am okay with having an opposing view. Conversations are no fun if everyone agrees. A strange and unusual point of view, but there it is.

Good on you Browncoat.

Right now, my cynical side is saying, "Isn't it nice that all these folks are jumping on the band wagon as a means to play the attention game; wanna focus on Firefly? HERE! Let me regurgitate that story for you. Oh, and look at me, aren't I pretty too? I have loads of other content over HERE."

See, that's how I am. I am Gemini, and I am chaos.
