Does anybody out there know if there is a petition to restart the series and if not how or who wants to start one up. I just know as soon as I saw Serenity I had to first thing best buy opened up go buy firefly the series and watch every episode.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Wow. Nothing like being obnoxious to a new fan, eh?

Please ignore the troll who called you an idiot. We don't even know who that person is.

Hey, welcome aboard. Sorry about the above, most of us are pleasant, and welcome new fans. Glad you enjoyed the movie and the series. I've seen several petitions floating around, not sure where the links are. The idea of Firefly coming back has been discussed nearly to death. But it always makes me smile that someone new loves it that much. From my understanding, which may not be accurate, the plan is:
If the movie does well ($80 million global) Universal wants 2 more movies. All 9 cast are signed for all 3 and from what I hear will be in all three (yes that may seem odd, but it's the word) If it makes less, well who knows. 20th Cent. FOX currently owns the rights to anything Firefly going onto TV. This expires in about 7 years, but everything has it's price. Universal could buy the rights and put it back on the air if they thought it was worth it. They own NBC and Sci-Fi.
Again, my understanding may be flawed, I welcome corrections/clarifications from the other Browncoats. And again encourage you to ignore mean people.
Welcome aboard.

First off Dacramps (or do you prefer Francis?) let me apologize for the rude response you received. I am sure it was meant in jest, but the internet is a poor medium for relaying intention.

Secondly, let me welcome you to the site, and the fandom.

No, at this time there is no petition or movement to get Firefly back on the air. We, the "browncoats" as the fanbase call ourselves, went through all the petitions and other avenues to save the show back when Fox put it on "hiatus" back at the end of 2002. Joss Whedon's efforts, along with our support, got the DVD set for the series released in 2003 (which I highly recommend you pick up a copy of if you don't already own it) & the movie "Serenity" released.

I have learned to never say never when it comes to Joss & Firefly, but for now we wait & see how successful the movie is & where we go from here.

I've been lurking around here for the past two weeks or so, and I thought I'd finally post a message. I too am new to the 'verse. I saw the movie before I had ever seen a single episode, went the next day and bought the series and have not looked back since. There is something so special about this series, indeed the entire franchise and its fanbase, that I seriously doubt we will ever see the end of the crew of Serenity. Long live the Browncoats. There is no need to rise again, as Mal once said, because I don't think anything can keep you down. (I'd like to include myself, but there are so many who have been fighting for so long, I don't know if I deserve it).

Nonsense! Doesn't matter how long you been in the fight, long as your in the fight you're one of us.

Welcome to the site Sevren! Glad you came out of lurk mode.

Hopefully someone at some studio (Fox/Universal, etc) will read all these thousands and thousands of threads of "I want another season of the TV series more than anything else" and perhaps figure out they can make money by making more Firefly. (even if it is crippled and damaged due to the movie)

And welcome to the new Browncoats... there can never be too many.

And since I'm not an English major and my english is not correct enough for some members on this site, I will take my leave for awhile ( probably months ). I can't believe that just by asking a question I get insulted and degraded. Well you wonderful people can keep your site and I will never post on this site again. Thanks for making my day.

Well congratulations, Aikenite98! You have succeeded in killing a potentially valuable member of the Browncoat community. Three cheers for trolls! May you live eternally in your personal hell!

That being said, I hope you change your mind, Francis.

Though I was a huge fan of the show (all four episodes I saw on T.V., thanks to Fox's wonderful job of both not advertising and continually switching Firefly's showtime) it faded from my mind. However, upon learning that Serenity was reviving that show that I had such fond memories of I was hooked again. I purchased the DVD box set about a month ago, and I've worn them out. I've lent them to friends and to family. I've seen the film three times with different groups of people.

I'm very happy to have found this site, and though I am new to it, I am a veteran of many online forums. I can tell you then, from experience, that people like Aik are a rarity and they are treated as the true idiots. Don't let him discourage you.

I'm a proud Browncoat and have been since I was 14 years old watching the best television show I have ever seen.

Firefly forever!

So... Does someone want to hide me? I fear my English may get me trolled!

You can't take the sky from me.

Gotta be suspicious of any new troll response.

After all, in order to convince anyone that the show is popular, membership must be booming.

Anyone who wants to boot people you gotta question their motives. It might be a FETTish.

Anyway, welcome, my son, welcome, to the machine.

Y'know, I may be labelled a jerk for saying this, but I think it's Francis here who is out of line. Yes, some jerk trash talked him (and to Aikenite98, what the hell is your problem?) but c'mon, seriously...everyone else here went out of their way to apologize for the troll, and assure Francis that he's welcome here, and most browncoats are not like Aikenite98, so what did he do? Get all indignant, essentially turn up his nose, say "humphf" and leave. I am sorry, and I am all for new fans, and I'm glad that Francis liked the movie, but if he wants to leave, I'm not gonna feel sorry for him or get mad at Aikenite 98 for that. Seems that Francis is good at being fixated on the one negative in a sky of positives, so what can you do? It's sad, really...
Aikenite98, dacramps,

Me thinks that your reaction to a single reply is a tad overboard. To be honest, reread your first post. If English isn't your native tongue, that's o.k. If it is, then you can take such criticism , even if overly harsh, and turn it around for your benefit. When life gives you lemons....

Good to hear you become a Browncoat, welcome aboard.
