I do hope Joss Whedon was only being witty yesterday when he answered this remark on Reddit :
Just an idea. Put Firefly season 2 up as a project on Kickstarter and see how much money you can get to buy the rights and make it happen.

Joss Whedon answers:
Step 2: Cancel Castle. Step 3: Cancel Homeland. Step 4: Generally destroy everybody's careers. Step 5: Avoid Step 2. End of Joss' comment.

There needs to be a Step 0: Joss signs the petition. Until that happens, everything else is futile.

I'll sign the petition, but I'm done buying stuff.

eta: I mean I'm done buying the tv show and movie.

New comics or books or anything "new"? I'll be first in line.

Today there are 1,228 signatures out of 100,000 goal. To relight Firefly will take a 1,000,000 signatures on 1,000,000 bank drafts for around $20 each. Maybe more signatures or more dollars. That is the kind of signatures that bring a show back to life.

On the first incarnation of Firefly, it only took dozens of signatures on contracts between producer, distributor, and broadcaster. That is because Joss' signature on a contract is more valuable than $20. Joss' signature on this petition would be very valuable. It might be essential. Life or death essential.

I say if we increase the number of signatures we increase the number of signatures, but let's set clear benchmarks and work from there. There is no reason why this shouldn't work.

I am itching to buy 10 copies of Firefly and just give them as presents to any of my friends who haven't seen the series yet. Pay it forward! Buy a friend Firefly and, if she/he likes it, then pass it along. I would just love to see how high we can boost the sales in that week, and see Firefly hit number 1 in the charts on it's 10th anniversary week.

But, yeah, if Joss Whedon says anytime in between now and then that he would rather take donations, then I'll happily do that instead. This way though, you support the DVD/Blu-ray sales and spread the popularity by giving out the series as well. Win-win! Good luck everyone!

Join me and get the word out on the message boards and across all the Internet. We know that the support for Firefly is there, and we can help this movement spread like wildfire.

For any fans of Castle, and indeed for any fans of Firefly, we just had a real treat with Adam Baldwin guest starring and teaming up once again with Nathan Fillion. It was a great episode!

Believe it or not, that's been my plan since it was cancelled. I would take it one step further, I would establish and incorporate a film production company - it's main purpose - get Firefly back on air or Serenity 2 & 3. I would also contact other lottery winners ($100M plus winners) to ensure that we get the original cast plus all our favs - Saffron, Jubal, Badger, Monty, Niska, hell even that captain who briefly took over Serenity in OoG.

Here's to the next multi-million dollar lottery winner being a Browncoat!

It's after Sept. 20th. How come Firefly isn't back?
