I'm in!

This fits my cherished theory - that Joss is just waiting for Fox's rights to expire (sometime soon, right? This year or next?) so he can pursue the show's continuation with someone who doesn't suck! Like Universal?

Hey - let me stay in my happy world, delusion though it may be.

Funny, I was thinking a couple days ago on how cool it would be to watch Firefly in HD. I just got the Universal HD channel and a TV that supports HDTV yesterday. Guess I know what I'll be doing Thursday nights.

Signed up. Name: Raskol.

By the way, does this start the first Thursday of July?

This is nice, to be sure, but don't get too crazy folks. Uni has the rights to broadcast the existing episodes in HD. They do not have the rights to produce new eps. Make our presence known and maybe we can convince them to order another movie. I'd love a new movie. *crosses eyes*

What?! No Bester! Anything, almost anything, other than Bester.

"Serenity II : Home Again' or 'Badger's Hill'

Frankly, I think a show called Badger's Hill would rock. I'd love to see what goes on in his upstanding businessman world. The crooks, the personal guard, the competitors...etc.

As soon as I post, I'll try to let you know. Can you wait a couple weeks?

I have yet to get my e-mail as well. It's kind of rediculous, we should get those conformation e-mails immediately if you ask me.

However I've been lurking on there and it says that Universal will start airing Firefly on Saturday July 14th on the UniversalHD Channel and will from there on air one eppi every Sat. So YAY! We get to watch our show in HD starting in July! *does the happy dance*

Good to see you again, Corncobb! I was just telling Ebo that Malicious has been checking in this week. Maybe we can get a few old fogies 'round to wave to everyone.

I've even gone into my isp settings to see what the problem might be.

I've sent two emails to the board admin. but received no reply....

I would LOVE to get UniversalsHD's take on why my cable company says it has UHD but doesn't. My cable company is technology challenged.

Cable company
I mean the reason I got the hd set up was to watch the SciFi in HD...and now the one channel that shows the cool stuff is being messed with by my cable company.

In other news, UniHD set up a shiny photo gallery to get us geared for July 14 and the showing of the eps. Seems they only have a gallery for Shindig, but hey it's a start

(apologies to the author of Psalm 121)

I shall lift up my eyes to the Atmo; from where is my help to come?
My help comes from the Browncoats, fans of Firefly and Senerity.
They shall not let Fox fall asleep on the bridge,
neither those who pester Universal shall slumber.
Indeed, those who watch the BDHs in the 'Verse
will neither sleep nor slumber.
The Browncoat watches over it;
they are the Callahan at your right hand;
Blue Sun will not harm you by day,
nor Alliance by night.
Browncoats will keep the 'Verse from harm—
they will watch over its life;
They will watch over its re-runs and return, both now and forevermore.

And let us all say - Gorammit!

Surely Serenity and Firefly shall be with me all the days of my life and I will dwell on the boards of fireflyfans.net forever.

But I will visit many other sites. Yea, even Universal and will lift up mine eyes with hope.

Is there any way Universal could be sent the reams and reams of fan fiction, emails to both Universal AND Fox, the endless chats and discussions about possible future endeavors in just about every entertainment medium possible to help speed this thing along? Seriously. Do they honestly need to start a NEW site to gage the viability of possibly funding another Firefly or Serenity? What more do they want?

Of course, I say this after knowing the film's performance and the expectations that were set. The Universal rep at the movie theater in Austin where I saw the advanced screening was saying "this film's tracking better with genre fans than Episode III. We should have released it yesterday!" and then September came around and THUD.
