Why are we still talking about what's been decided?

There's one flaw with the "loan out the DVD" approach: It's invisible.

Very well said. I don't think I've read it quite that way before. Give us your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free and wear really nice jackets.

Yeah, jackets! But seriously . . .

Maybe someday we'll be able to say that it was best late, that the release and the new blood really revived something that had waned just from slogging through the muck for so long.
But disheartening, nonetheless. It's a very bittersweet feeling and reminds me of all the things I should have done. I should have watched "Out of Gas" instead of Trek Uncut (bring the tomatoes, I deserve them); I should have sent ten postcards a day instead of five; I should have been in the thick of things from the beginning instead of lurking for so long.
Life's too short for ifs and maybes though and good Browncoats have taught me that there's very little that the Firefly perspective can't help with. That's my hope. When I'm down or feel awful or something doesn't go right, I look at this poor, short-lived, magnificent show and remember its wisdom and try to use that.
So I should get over being disheartened and revel in all the new names and faces and levels of enthusiasm and remember that while the losing side ain't necessarily the wrong one, sometimes how you get there is the worthier part.

I tried to abbreviate your quote but found I couldn't because it was so well said. So it's all here again for anyone who missed it.

I will add this: it was such a short miserable life for Firefly, what with only four months on air, and not even straight through. So it took months for people to taste the show and then tell others until, dam-mit, here we are. "Maybe it's exactly where (we) should be."

(Edited 'cuz board doesn't take kindly to square brackets, which embraced "we")
