Once upon a time, I was a hardcore Trekkie. Yes, I freely admit this and I welcome anyone's recommendation to a recovery program no matter how many steps it takes. BUT, being a Trekkie made me realise something about being a Browncoat. And that something is, by no means is it over till it's over.

The original Star Trek was cancelled after three seasons (the last of which was indubitably lousy, IMO). The fans raised hell. A movie was made. This first movie was a box-office flop, its overall quality was less than inspiring and it was the earliest proof that the even-numbered Star Trek movies are invariably better than the odd-numbered ones. Now before the Great Bird of the Galaxy does something really messy on me, allow me to point out that there are enough even-numbered and odd-numbered Star Trek movies to prove this - despite the first one's poor performance, nine more have followed in its flat wake over the last 25 years. And now if you'll continue to bear with me, I'm going to get to the point...

Firefly was cancelled after less than one season. Again the fans raised hell. Another movie was made. This movie was fantastic, incredible, mind-boggling, whopping in every respect - except its box-office performance. So the prevailing question is, do we as Browncoats have a similar story to look forward to? That in spite of this mild disappointment, studio execs might be imposed upon, however reluctantly, to give Uncle Joss another chance at telling his story? Let's aim to find out, my friends. As the Serenity Summer draws upon us, let's be bad guys - let the world know that Firefly has an audience and that we will do whatever it takes to expand that audience! Let us continue forth to the four corners of the Earth-that-will-have-been and, be our efforts subtle or overt, throw a coat of brown upon every back we see. True, things may get a little oh-God-oh-God-we're-all-gonna-die before we're through, but if there's even the remotest chance we might witness a miracle...

...I say, so be it.

ETA: Heh - I just noticed I posted this at 17:01 hours Eastern. Those of you unawares, that's the U.S.S. Enterprise's hull number.

Serenity is fresh and original, with a growing fan base and I predict that a sequel will be announced by the end of the year or the spring of 2007 and at your local Cineplex by 2008.
