...About the financial sense of things; I watched and re-watched "Done the Impossible" and they talked about that quite a bit of profit was made off of the advertisements (during the series) and the DVD sales after the series and the movie. If they were incorrect on their data, set me staight. Also, the fact that there are literally hundreds of thousands of active fans on sites right now leads me to believe that they have a strong enough fan base to start anew (most of my data is from Facebook fansites).
We have to change tactics. I have talked to Browncoats, I have watched and read many of the things that Joss and Tim have written and filmed. I sympathize with their frustration. Forgive me for saying this but this is no longer about them, it's about us, the Browncoats. The ones that haven't given up on the idea. The ones that haven't gotten bogged down in the muck of "I give up, too much time has passed". I believe that the birth of this show was, as many believe, much more than a show. It was the beginnings of a family and I believe that the leaders of that family have a responsibility to the ones that are looking up to them. I don't aim to offend but I do aim to get results. We don't have the time to sit patiently back anymore. Too much time has passed for us to sit patiently on our rears. We have to take a stand now otherwise it just won't happen. I haven't given up yet. I will carry on until there is no fight left in me. I am a Browncoat. I wear my colors proudly....and sometimes loudly. So, all of you grumpy ole' Browncoats out there, I salute you, but I also say "wake up" there is work to be done.
Don't worry about the sayers of 'nay' , and their like...
One wonders what they're even doing here , and then speculates that they're Alliance plants...
You are right , you know...
In the long haul , the tried and true Browncoats will get what we want .
It is in our DNA...

Once people resort to name calling I think they reveal that they're insecure about their own views.
I don't think we really need to set rules about what makes a person a tried and true Browncoat. Believe what you want. Just don't go around trying to force your beliefs on others or hurt them. That's my opinion at least.

How many times has it been, and how often, that some newbie comes on the board trying to tell us old-timers that we don't care enough anymore and they know exactly what it will take to get Serenity flying again?
I watched Firefly from the beginning on FOX, bought the DVD set as soon as it was released, have bought at least twenty sets over the years as gifts and donations, and now have both the series and BDM on Blu-Ray. I have purchased all the comics, the Visual Companions, the ornaments, the pvc figures, the card sets, the Alliance money pack and travel poster set (and most of those I bought doubles to give to my son). I have four different 'verse T-shirts (not counting those I made myself with iron-on transfers), one cap, two different Serenity patches, and a decal of the ship on my truck windshield.
I have met four of the cast, have autographs from all nine, Joss and Christopher Buchanan, and one day hope to meet all of them in person and get more. I have written letters to the FOX television network, 20th Century FOX Film Studios, Universal and the Sci-Fi Channel, all of them on multiple occasions.
I resent anyone telling me I haven't done enough, or that the next letter I write will magically make a difference.

That strategy NEVER has changed a thing , nor has it ever gotten Folk what they needed...
If that's what works for some of you , Fine...
You know the sayings...
" We all got on this boat for different reasons...
...It's the Love that Keeps 'Er In The Air..."
Newish Folk are Welcome to bring all the enthusiasm they can find , and spread the Glow of Firefly Love
throughout the known 'Verse...

It absolutely changes things. It lets people move on and find peace.
Constantly fighting for a lost cause is not healthy IMO. You will never achieve your goals. You end up missing out on the other things in this world you can spend your time and energy on to actually make a difference.
Yes, I would like to have season 2 of Firefly. I would like a lot of things. The world is not designed to be my personal paradise. I've gotten over it.

Yanno... that would be a great show, a great show concept. Future science criminologa-whajamacallit stuff. Writers would have a completely open canvas (who's to say infrared sensitive eyeballs won't be possible?). I likey!

Are we really gonna have this argument every time a new browncoat pops in and wants to resurrect the show?
Listen, new guy, welcome. This place is generally pretty relaxed and the folks pretty friendly. I'm genuinely glad to hear that you liked the show and movie enough to come on here and join our little community, but as you can see you've touched a nerve. Try to understand that we've been fighting for this for the better part of a decade and we're starting to get as jaded as Mal.
I have to agree, don't bother Joss, but if you want to write letters, go for it. I'm not going to speculate on how the show could ever come back or why it hasn't but I guarantee that lack of fan effort is not among the reasons. We should try to be content with what we have but that doesn't have to mean abandoning hope.
I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

Well, I haven't given up hope yet and I doubt I will as long as I draw breath, but it doesn't mean I think those hopes are very realistic. It also doesn't mean I can't enjoy other things that have come along since Firefly.
Again, to the original poster, I applaud your enthusiasm. Go for it. Write as many letters as you'd like and encourage others to do the same. Just don't tell me I don't care if I don't fall in line with your plan.

“Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation...”
“Man can believe the impossible, but can never believe the improbable...”
“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best...”
Looks like Oscar Wilde could've been a Firefly Fan , if he'd been born in the correct century...
Looks like Teddy Roosevelt might've been a Browncoat , too...
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Hey Zeek , nothing personal , but if giving up is your way of coping , have at it...
Just don't whinge about it while the rest of us entertain hope and apply ourselves to a more abundant Firefly Future...
