I don't see why you can't be all both.

I concur.

I've never been to a convention of any sort, either way, but I was raised on Star Trek, and I remain loyal, if disappointed in recent times. On the other hand Firefly is where I am right now, and it is where I will remain. It's not like I have to renounce Star Trek. I was talking about tribbles before watching Serenity (the pilot episode not the movie) last night.

I just wish that the most recent Star Trek had been as good as Firefly. Actually, proving that I am not a Trekkie but just a fan, I wish any Star Trek had been as good as Firefly. (Ok, some was. Probably more hours of it were at that level than Firefly ran for, but consistency would have been nice.)

But ya see.. Gunrunner is proof of why this 'verse is so special... geeky AND Smart!!

God I LOVE This place...

we are just going through that post partem thing... we birthed a movie.. and now we wait..

it's natural I reckon.. I hope our wait isn't as long as the trekkie wait.. but I hope we get a LOT of return.. series, movies, all of it..

someone in another thread bets that Serenity Squared greenlighted in 6 mos...lol..

any takers on that bet?? anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Hey, Serenity didn't do too badly overall; a decent theatrical performance by the standards of the soft box office month it opened in, and then making up most of its original budget (minus advertising) before it went to video--and then opening as Amazon's #1 pre-order, and holding onto the spot for days during the pre-holiday rush. My local Hollywood Video has a wall-rack full of copies, and my daughter reports all but one were rented when she checked.

And Heckfire, the BDM hasn't even reached pay-per-view yet. Although, remarkably, the original TV episodes have! How weird is that?

I'd say our chances of getting an eventual sequel are at least fair-to-middlin'. And we've beat worse odds than that already!
