I took 3 years for us to get Serenity. It should tak e that long to get more.

Amazon sales of Firefly are still amazing.

Sure it looks grim. Hell, that is part of being a browncoat. Facing down grim and overwhelming odds, laughing in their face and not letting your resolve waiver. NO MATTER WHAT!

Things looked grim when Fox aired our show out of order, and the browncoats held the line. Things looked grim when Fox put the show on "hiatus", but we held the line. Thing were very grim when Fox cancelled the show, but still we held the line.

The browncoats didn't lie down and die when Joss couldn't find another network to take the show. We didn't allow the shortsighted vision of network execs to run us off. We held! If not for our resolve and our efforts there would never have been the dvd set we all enjoy now and used to expand the fanbase. If we had given up there never would have been the BDM! If not for our faith there would be no comics, Visual Companion, trading cards, sites like this one, or an hope.

That quote for the movie sums it up for me. I just know that Joss put that part in at the end of the movie for himself, and for the browncoats, as much as because it was fitting for the film.

We have to have faith and hold on to that love we feel for this 'verse, these characters, this gift that Joss and the cast gave us.

I for one mean to keep fighting for it.

You know, its kinda funny, I don't see our outlook as grim at all,
Amazon sales and other retail outlets selling Firefly are still phenomenal
the fanbase instead of curling up and dying like soo many other fanbases, is growing bigger daily. Doubt that we are bucking the trend.. good luck finding a healthy and active wonderfalls community ( another show I loved but not as deeply as firefly)

We have another round of comics in the works
Have you seen how much official merchandise is out there? Stylinonline has more firefly designs out than Battlestar or even most of the other things their shirts represent.

Heck, Firefly and Serenity got a mention in the Houston Chronicle, front page of the entertainment section yesterday! http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/4535067.html

In my local firefly group, our regular waittress cannot believe how much our group continues to grow, we have spread from one table, to filling a room, and we are about to outgrow that room.

Our angels are coming, you just gotta have faith.

Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

Good to see your post 11th. I had begun to despair that due to the "Late Unpleasantness" we had lost you.
And nice catch with the Chronni piece ArtCat.

Yes,I second what Arclight said. It's very good to see that you're around,11th!

During the"unpleasantness"my printer was working overtime to crank out those shiny posters of yours just in case things took a bad turn.

You're right we will hold!

What a great answer. One of the wonders of Firefly is just how well the cast gelled together, as if they have been working for 2 or 3 seasons.

I firmly believe that we will see more of the 'verse and that our BDH's will once again light up the world. Each new series or movie they appear in makes them more rounded, dynamic and experienced. This makes me happy for them and for us because when they come back we will be amazed, astounded and in awe of what they do.

The best is yet to come. We hold.

I highly doubt there will be a TV series with the same cast. But it is entirely possible to stil have movies and direct to DVD, even maybe some Saturday night features on Sci-Fi.

Don't give up, dude. Hold that line. Things can get grim looking, but don't ever give up.
