Good on you Browncoat. Sorry, though, I'm not the wine maker my uncle was.

Every try to by a website domain that someone else has already purchased? When you buy it yourself initially it costs about $160 for the year. If a web domain broker buys a popular name first, they will make you pay at least $2500 if not more to buy it from them.
So do the rights revert back automatically, or is Joss Whedon getting an option to buy them?
Something else I know; a lot of us spent a lot of time hating Fox when Fox really didn't care. You, Two, need to chill it with the Rupert Hate.
Fear is the mind killer. Hate is the soul killer. Hate him and he has power over you. Going against something doesn't mean you have to hate it.

Fooled you.
For me, "Rupert Murdoch" is playing the same role as a villain on a scripted TV drama. He's no more a real villain to me than "Adelai Niska." The imaginary "Rupert Murdoch" character stands in place for soulless corporation Fox, giving Fox some personality. It is just dull business with Nielsen numbers flowing in, money flowing out. It is a lean, mean, canceling machine that is run separate from another part (name forgotten) of NewsCorp that actually produced Firefly. I'm lumping all the loosely connected pieces of NewsCorp into one fictional name: "Rupert Murdoch."
In real life, Murdoch is both a TV actor and a TV executive. He has a page at the internet movie database listing his voice work on the Simpsons, for heaven's sakes! He played a fictional character who just so happens to be named "Rupert Murdoch." No relation to the real Murdoch or to FOX. www.imdb.com/name/nm0613770/

There's a company with a structure already in place for doing something like this:

http://declarationentertainment.com/reboot-firefly
Get enough people involved, and it'll work.

Quote:You are disappointed in me. My blaming the fictional character "Rupert Murdoch" rather than FOX for Firefly's cancellation is not starting a fire in your imagination. Silly me. I really believed it would. I fooled myself.

It follows that the scenario where Nathan insults "Rupert" during negotiations for Firefly rights does not amuse you, either. Therefore, this thread is dead for me. The adults are continuing their weighty discussions. I write no more.

Meet Two...
I've personally come to believe that he/she is rather crazy.
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Loony works....
And yes, I'm sure we are all heartbroken over Two's exit from the thread. Things shall never be the same...
