I still don't think CW is the way to go. Since it is a melding of the WB and UPN (think young, often shallow tv), I don't see Firefly fitting in with their current line ups. I mean, what would firefly be paired with? Even a seeming "natural" fit like Smallville, Supernatural or Charmed, would make these other shows pale in comparison to the beauty and wit of FF.
I want it back on TV, so bad I can taste the mudder's milk, but I don't know if CW is the network. To me, Sci-Fi has been growing the fan base, has the additional shows to pair it with (think Frackin' Galactica) and has proven that science fiction can be profitable.
All that said, tell me where to sign, who to write too, whatever and I'm there.
This must be what going insane feels like.

TAMSIBLING--
I'm with you. My first choice would be SciFi. Seems like Firefly would have the best chance of having a long-term home there. At this point, however, I'd take more of the 'verse wherever I could get it. Any network, a BD Sequel, whatever.

If the Sci-Fi channel is to be our focus, what is the next logical step?
Beyond requesting Firefly on the website, is there someone in particular we could address to start the proverbial ball rolling?
I'm thinking if the Sci-Fi President of Programming received a couple thousand snail mails requesting a new Firefly series, that might get their attention.

Someone else mentioned this on another thread...
How about we all go over to the Sci-Fi Board, register, and flood the place with Firefly talk?
What say you Browncoats?

Joss has a full plate right now, and he's contractually obligated to get some things finished before he can even really START on anything 'verse related. I've no doubt that when he gets stumped on a project he'll think about our Big Damn Heroes and lay out some story ideas, but the real work on any Firefly/Serenity project is still a ways off.
Does that depress me? A bit. I loves me some Firefly, and I want more stories from this 'verse. But I'm prepared to wait for that to happen. Joss will "move on" for a while, bide his time, and if and when he feels the time is right, he'll be back with us again. He's not deserting us; he's just prioritizing and waiting for his moment. It'll come. Meanwhile, we hold; hold 'til he gets back. :)
Kwicko I couldn't agree with you more.
I'm not a "let-it-goer" by any means. I am however, a realist. Barring a Firefly-miracle of some sort, I really don't think a return to TV is likely to happen within the next 3 years (approximately).
Joss has a serious workload ahead of him that has little to do with the verse, so unless Tim Minear is given the reins to a new show before then, I think we have a ways to go...
Until then we have a lot of Jossy goodness to look forward to. I'm gonna sound like a Care Bear when I say this but the show is never really gone as long as we have it in our hearts.
