"Adios, 'Firefly'... "

http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1141343_1_0_,00.html

I just got the Firefly DVDs, watched the entire series in the last 2 days and am about to buy BDM. Wow, totally kicked my butt. I was glued to my TV.

All i can say is i'm extremely disappointed, this series is finally getting some legs and a huge buzz going on about it...and ole Joss is gonna go do Wonder Woman.

Joss is an old Chinese word for Karma (i believe it is Chinese anyways, got it from Clavell). If there is any Karma coming for this great cast and series, some smart exec will realize the current need for good television...especially some excellent Sci-Fi and pick this up and make some more good television.

Signed,

Disappointed in MI

This has already been debunked. Don't have time to dig for links (on the way to work). Apparently EW spun some things and took others out of context.

Good lord...

Here we go again.

It seems that nobody cares to take a look in the forum before creating a new thread about yesterdays news...

Once again: Joss disclaimed this thing days ago.

EDIT: There you go: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=15704

Just testing to see how Rabid the fanbois were around here.

Since the date was "TUESDAY, December 27, 2005", and I saw nothing of it in any of the posts from today, I figured some people may want to know.

I apologize sincerely for not having read, bled, shat, and spat Firefly just yet.

Hi Slay, welcome to our home! I've noticed that you just hopped on board today. Hope to see ya around the 'verse for a while.

They're right, however, in that this has been debunked so to speak. Whedon himself got on whedonesque.com and said that a lot of what he said to EW was taken out of context. I've found a few threads that you can read through in which we've already discussed this subject before. So please forgive anyone that gets touchy about the subject..heh. So enjoy the read and make your own opinions on the future of the show. Some think we'll only get another film, some think we're done, and some think we'll get a new series. Personally I'd love a new series, however I'll be happy with another film. Don't count us out too quickly...Keep an eye on DVD sales before ya give up too much hope.

I think the date on the EW webpage is just the date of today and not connected to the actual articles.

You can go on every page there - the date stays the same

Ah yeah, I guess you are right. LOL

My bad! /ducks

Thanks for the links guys, i guess there is some hope yet. I'm not here to start crap, I just want more Firefly and I thought Ironically that 1 day after i watched the entire series that ole Joss decided he would call it quits. Would figure!

Don't mind my harsh answer - I adjusted my tagline accordingly

I'm always getting a bit jumpy when someones first post ever is an article about the end of the franchise (especially this annoying EW-thing

)

Since this was my first Firefly fansite, I think im going to try the others and all post with my exact topic as above.

The best replies get my undying forum trolling and support. So far I like the mix here, pleasant polaris and CBY the Cowboy :)

slay, welcome...we really should have a thread, warning new people that we are very touchy about folks burying our BDHs while they're still warm...

a lot of us have been here since the failed TV show and believe me, people thought we were insane for clinging to hope back then.

so anyway...I hope you have seen the River Tam vids (see link my signiture)
and the comic books
(there will be more comic books coming this year)

and do check out this site, I think that fffs really is the best

**********************************************
watch the R. Tam Session vids: http://www.hittarivertam.nu/
and buy the 'Serenity' comics published by Dark Horse,
and have you joined the Browncoats yet?

Well, personally I'd love to see ya stick around here for a while. Besides, a few of us are members of other forums too as well as being members of this one. I'm also a member of the Browncoat Official site as well, but I don't post as much on there. This one here, because of these people, have made it feel like home!

I wouldn't do it since it leaves a bad mark if done deliberately .

It was actually a joke. Sometimes my sarcasm doesnt come through so well in text.

Not that it really matters, things like this I pick one anyways and now you guys are stuck with me.

On a brighter note, I have multiple people Im going to get addicted to this show. I am a World of Warcraft addict / guildmaster and I plan on spreading the word via our forums, and through my real life friends and family.

The show is just too damn good to let go down without swinging, but I don't have to tell u guys that.

Hi, Slay!
Sorry, we're all a bit touchy about that silly article these days.

Thanks, Psolaris for posting all the links together.
As for keeping it alive, I think Serenity won't stop flying until the fans say she does. We're too rabid that way.

First, welcome to the 'verse and the boards. Second, how would you like to see a MMORPG based on Firefly? It's my pet dream/fantasy. It'd make a great game, dontcha think?

...So, maybe a guildmaster would be able to swing some magic through the game makers' forums, too?

I think it'd sell.

Would be very cool.

I was a big fan of the game Privateer back in the day, Firefly reminds of that game in ways. Always thought it would make a cool MMO. Eve Online would be the closest thing to it currently.
