You are more than welcome Rune. If you haven't listened to Marion's stuff you really should. Then I recommend catching her in concert locally. :)

For further hope lifting excellence you should look for "Motivated By Firefly" on youtube.

Just because I'm selling some of my Firefly/Serenity stuff, don't for one second think that I am not still a Browncoat through and through. I still have scores of other things, several other autographs, etc. I'll be a flan until the day I die, and if there is an afterlife I'm sure I'll have some interesting discussions with other Browncoats then.

While I would love for it to happen, if we don't ever get any more from the 'Verse except more comics or pricey items from QMX, I'm confident Firefly will still be a popular property for decades to come.

And don't forget it took over ten years for Star Trek's first movie, and that happened mainly due to the enormous popularity of Star Wars. As long as Joss is around, as long as fans clamor for more, I wouldn't be surprised of a reboot some time in the future. Will it live up to our expectations? Not sure anything could, but I'd watch it just the same.

Hi everyone, I'm a new Firefly fan :) (Yeah i know i'm pretty late, but i was too young to watch when the series aired) I LOVE Firefly!!! But i can't talk to anyone my age about it because its "old" and therefore uncool. It makes me think that there is no hope for Firefly in the next generation. I know that there probably won't be any sequels due to the time that has past (even though i hope against hope that more episodes will, eventually, be released) but i was wondering about the longevity of this fandom and wanted your opinion. Will Firefly die out with us or will it become like a classic sci fi like star wars, with a constant nerdy fan-base? (I don't know if it will gain such a following due to the shows more western feel.) Or will it (Gorram it! I don't want to say it!) die out as the fans grow old with no new ones to replace them. (me being an exception because i'm rather strange for my age) Your thoughts and opinions?

Perhaps you can help the coolness of Firefly among your peers. When you see special effects copied from Firefly (Emmy Award for Special Effects for Pilot Serenity), you can point out "trivia" like that was copied from Firefly. Almost every Sci-Fi show/film has copied from Firefly, and Firefly is in effect the source of much current special effects, not only sci-fi but also all those hand-held wobbly-cam shots that Zoic developed for Joss in Firefly.
When viewing Castle, Chuck, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Gotham, The Last Ship, etc you could point out "trivia" like their big break (or biggest web following) was Firefly.

How many of those current offerings include a Map of The Verse like ours published in 2009?

Do these people not consider the Original Star Trek to be cool?
Sometimes, cool is what you make it.
Welcome aboard, and enjoy.
