It's done very well in the UK as well.

what's good to see is that the firefly dvd is still going strong in the UK as well. on Amazon, it's sitting at no. 5 at the moment, though yesterday it had dropped to 8.

By way of comparison, House (released same day as serenity ie monday 27th feb) is sitting at 18. it's very likely that there will be another series of House, yet there's no movement on Firefly. make sense to you guys?

^^^^did you mean "Does that seem right to you?"

As for the guy who was saddened by the last line about being alone........ well, that's just a thing with existentialism: it is inherently depressing. However, you all may recall the angel quote mentioned in the Firefly commentaries: If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. This search, this emptiness Joss feels does, ironically, fuel his writing: heroes fighting evil and wondering what we're all doing here. that sorta thing. or in the case of firefly, wondering what we're all doing here, while stealing from folk

I survived a day in Whitefall and all I got was this lousy signature!

SERENITY SPOILERS BELOW

Regarding the existentialism thing ... when I read quotes like this from Joss (or when I listen to the commentary on Obejcts in Space), it makes me wonder where he was ultimately going with Shepherd Book.

As much as I loved Serenity, I'm still upset over the death of Book, and have wondered if the character scared Joss in some way. He clearly doesn't sympathize with the Book's motivations, and perhaps he ultimately didn't know what to do with the character.

Anyway, just musing. The bit about the sequel is just too depressing to think about.

At what point does this become necrophilia?

To answer that particular point: If there is no definitive statement by the end of the year and Joss keeps saying that the chances are low even after solid international DVD sales numbers are available - then we will slowly reach the point of necrophilia.

Sure his comment was depressing - but then life without firefly is depressing. Isn't that why we're all here (on FFf.net) We can commiserate together, indulge our wildest fantasies (no, not the ones where i'm IN Jaynes bunk, but the ones about firefly coming back), and generally wx poetic about our love of the BDM and series.
ANd in our fantasies, the series will come back. And i think if we DO hand in ther long enough, our fantaises wil lcome true. maybe not a quickly as we would like, but it will come.

Question: if it comes in two years, will Adam be too old for Jayne?? I don;t think so, me liking mature men an all, but then, i am somewhat biased

I'll be in Jaynes bunk

I have to wonder if Joss himself is losing hope for the series, or has been burned too many times to go back. I'm hoping that isn't the case. A thought just occured to me, with all this letter writing to CW and all. Maybe it would be nice to write Joss a handwritten letter to let him know we are all behind him and that we have his support. Also letting him know that every day there are more and more Browncoats and anyone who sees the show falls in love.

I think he needs a bit of encouragement and inspiration from fans. There are some awesome and inspiring conversion stories out there and maybe if he heard some of them it would at least lift his spirits and hope. Well that's just my thinking. If anyone can track down an adress for me to send fan mail let me know. Thanks!
