Man, it took me like five minutes to get to the rest of this post because I started laughing like an idiot right here and just couldn't get past it. Ha!

Thanks for the warm welcome Follow. Going to puchase the DVDs for myself and my brother.
Neither of us are huge sci-fi fans beyond Star Wars (not the new ones of course). But, watching Serenity and FF conjured up those same visceral feelings about life and adventure in another 'verse.
But, for me FF has gone over and beyond what Star Wars ever did. All I know is that I have never ever posted on a Star Wars fan site.
I have to give credit to Joss for coming up with such a brilliant mix of genres and creating his own - - the Sci-Fi / Western. Sure, other sci-fi movies have had elements of the Western. But none has been able to pull it off as cleverly as Joss and FF.
Great fan site everybody for all those hopeless hopefuls like me that will hopefully one day see this great cast reassembled. Keep up the good work.

Is there any truth to the HSN spinoff rumors...where Mal and Jayne deftly market cubic zerconium pendant jewelry and Kaele sells hi-def projectors?
Sorry, just a bit disappointed is all.

So, is everyone in agreement that the CW rumor 100% crushed? Given the Jossieness of the post and all the takes of the issue I've read in this thread, I have serious doubts. I just don't think I could say that the rumor is certainly debunked.
Any thoughts?

Well I guess we could say that the rumor is that the rumor is untrue. Joss did go out of his way to deprecate the CW which is not usually the kind of thing you do to a prospective employer. On the other hand since Joss might be pitching other material to the companies involved in the future the fact that he is willing to bag on CW now might mean that he already has a deal going that he just can't talk about. On the other other hand Joss may be relying on Viacom and Warner executives not holding a grudge about unkind things said on an internet message board. On the other other hand....
This could go on for hours. I personally remain guardedly optimistic for some sort of movie/series but I won't be making book on this particular rumor coming true.

I think it's almost a certainty that something else will materialize: some TV movies, a mini-series, etc.
With Buffy and Angel, there are well over 100 episodes of each, and Joss pretty much got to say what he wanted to say (though Angel was unfairly cancelled, necessitating a bunch of script rewrites). Likewise, the actors have mostly moved on; just look at SMG and that amazing Scooby Doo movie series! 
But the real sense is that Serenifly still has a lot to say. Pretty much each of the cast has said that they're as big a fan of the 'Verse as each of us is. I think they would jump at the chance to do more. Joss has said he's "never not going to be interested" in more, so the odds are good.
Whether we'll ever get another full series is unknown, but even periodic TV movies would be something.
Personally, I rather see it on TV than on the big screen. Don't get me wrong, I loved the film, but they cost too much and take too long to make. Even if another theatrical release were greenlighted, we likely wouldn't see it until 2008. A TV movie or mini series, however, can be done much more quickly, and cheaper, and thus more frequently, and could be ready within a year.

I had heard of Firefly, seen it at walmart for sale but i hadnt heard anything about it (assumed it was on cable) It wasnt till scifi aired it before my beloved SG1 that i accidently saw the end of safe, WOW. I quickly DL the entire series and was HOOKED, so much so i ordered the 3 of the BOX set. I was heart broken when i saw it didnt even have 24 episodes. 
to fox. that said firefly knocked SG1 out of my favorite series slot, a 10 year love afair, replaced by the summer fling go figure. I do pick up threads of hope in joss's post. and to best put my hopes into words a wise man once said. "I dont wanna explode"
PS. Any know where i can find a coat like mals? seriously?

Sulten,
Welcome. I discovered Firefly exactly the same way. Waiting for SG1 and then there before my eyes was the best show I'd ever seen in my whole life. I haven't been the same since.
I have acquired the job of supply clerk around here and I hand out virtual browncoats to new folks, so
*hands Sulten a browncoat*
you'll be needing this. We're glad you are here and I hope you will be as happy in this shiny place as I am.
Don't forget to spread the word... the more Browncoats we have the better our chance of a series or movie.
I don't actually know where you can get a real Browncoat, but I do know that somewhere out there is a replica being made. It's kinda high I've heard... but that may be what you are looking for. Google :Mal's browncoat maybe?
