It would appear that Serenity day was a big success. I'm sure it got someone's attention. We have shown that not only are there a lot of us, but that some of us have money to burn, and they like taking that money from us. So now what?

I have a feeling that the Sci-Fi channel is airing the Firefly marathon next month to see how many people will watch. I think someone around there wants to do more with it. Just look at how many ads they were running for Serenity. So the first step is to actually watch it. Then I think we should contact Sci-Fi to tell them we appreciate it.

And one more thing - Tell them we want more. I say we focus on a mini-series. Sci-Fi seems to like making those, and it wouldn't tie up Joss Whedon and others quite as much as a series would. It also wouldn't be quite as expensive as a movie, or as short.

Someone once suggested that we use brown paper. I like that. Then even without reading it, they know what it says.

Well, there's my 2 Cents worth. If anyone knows how to contact the Sci-Fi channel, let me know. And if you're in on my plan, then let's do it.

"We may experience some slight turbulence, and then... explode."

Guay yeah more!
Series starting, spin off, another movie, mini series, comics, books, animated TV series... all sounds good!

I love this idea! Every FF fan in the 'verse should tune in to Sci-Fi that day, and watch every episode. And then we have a letter-writing campaign thanking them for it and asking to look into a mini-series.

Personally, i think a mini-series is by far the best idea. Why? Well it won't cost as much as a movie, it'd be longer, and doesn't force a big commitment like a series does. And Sci-Fi could do it, because Universal owns the rights to make a movie. And they could simply say that the mini-series is simply a super-long movie. And it would be a great gauge for how viable a series w/o Wash and Book with a saner River could be.

Shiny, very shiny.

I aim to misbehave.

good idea

and it has my support, but does anyone have Sci-fi channels snail-mail address?

big companys pay more attention to snail-mail because it's a pain to write

Couldn't find a physical address on their website, but here's the page with the info on it:
http://www.scifi.com/feedback/

Also found this phone number on another site, if you care to speak to a human about who best to send paper thank-you letters to:

SCI-FI CHANNEL
Viewer Hotline and Feedback Email
Phone: 212-413-5679
Email: feedback@www.scifi.com
Email: programming@www.scifi.com

Also, keep the letter light, and thank them for airing Firefly and giving it a chance to be seen by more folks. If you mention the desire for a mini-series or more eps, please do it tastefully. Don't want to give our fellow Browncoats a bad name!

I myself plan on just sending a shiny email to both addresses, thanking them for supporting the 'verse, and that I'll keep watching if they keep showing. And I'll get my friends to, too.

I too love the brown paper idea. This is why I come to this site. If we unite and are truly willing to take some form of ACTION then you never know the impossible might happen again. Honestly Scifi has had some truly crap programming lately and every time we happen to catch some of it my sister or I will start saying "Dear Scifi, I'd like to tell you about a little show called Firefly. It would make a great new series for you, or a miniseries, or movie of the week, or etc..." We also start the spiel above when viewing other channels crap programming. I noticed a thread earlier today that talked about contacting Fox and asking for more Firefly, I think we should contact other networks - Scifi especially via snail email phone whatever and tell them they have a built in fan base who is willing to work to pimp the show should they be genius enough to revive it. You never know what might happen. So I'm there let's write Scifi and round up some more 'coats to do the same. What about writing on unmarked brown paper bags, even easier to distinguish from other paper - texture!

I suffer from tragic space dementia.
