Two interesting tidbits there, from my point of view:

...then I would love to return Serenity to TV

Interesting that he phrased it as Serenity rather than Firefly, and I wonder if there's an indication in that as who he thinks will take the next step with the 'Verse (ie, Universal rather than Fox).

This also caught my attention:

Quote:
At this juncture, Joss will have to be the one approached by a studio to make more.

It strikes me that even Joss may not have the most up-to-date information, with regards to who is interested in continuing development in the 'Verse...

Hey everybody!
a couple a questions I have.
maybe I'm being a ignorant or just miss informed
#1
do we maybe have a commity or body of people who try to stay in touch with Joss's Rep.or someone along those lines,to find out what we as a the fan base can do to help out ?(besides the usual,screenings, buying merchandise,ect.)
#2
if not ,should we ,would it help and is there anything we could actually do?

I don't want to step outta line (please let me know if I do),but it seems like we all tend to focus more on the problem, when we should try to come up with a working solution that may help to get the ball rolling.
We generally all hate

F*x for what they pulled on our beloved Joss and Crew, and we all have a pretty good understanding of what has happened.

I for one am not willing to give up on it just because of some bumps in the road!
Keep up with the conversions' sales
,ect.- but there has to be more we can do.

Well thanks for lettin' me vent!
Ya'll are great folks and I'm proud to be standing with you!

Yep, been on my mind too. Subjects like this will be included in the new area I posted an answer to SeaOtter about.

Yeah, we could use someplace that collects answers to Questions that are Asked Frequently. . .

A revolutionary idea --but what should we call it?

Well, now Cybersnark.. I think we may just give you that job since you seem talented with words!

(hanging head) That probably means me. Consider me chastened. Apologies to anyone who has taken offense.

"Hi, my name's (SeaOtter) and I haven't had a drink of coffee today."

Thinking it would be good to compose the aforementioned sticky/page/forum post/FAQ to include not only quotes, but the dates and context of the conversation.

This could be a really good thing.

For me, it's all new enough that it feels like I'm at a concert and the band has gone off the stage, and now we all just have to wait ten, fifteen minutes until the 'spontaneous' encore.

It just can't NOT be back - the handling of Firefly by FOX is one of the biggest (cruel) jokes in television, and important people in the field are laughing as much as we humble fanboys and girls. One has to imagine that a few of them are plotting and planning and working on the situation.

I'm convinced this is (just) a waiting game... in the words of my personal savior, Faith Will Be Rewarded.

I agree. If we all know the fox (mis)handling of FF was a joke, insiders must know this. Someone should be doing something somewhere.

Nope, SeaOtter I didn't mean you. I never take offense at real teasing or real suggestions.

Only thing I take offense at are folks who deliberately try to make the board a bad place and then revel in it. And that is NOT you.

I was just teasing back at Cybersnark, who is intelligent and fun and was being sarcastically funny. I like funny.

All the stuff you've asked and talked about are valid discussions and questions. We need to be talking about that and not those bickering discussions that are filling the threads.

Please when we open the new section, be sure and post in there with any questions, ideas, suggestions and help you'd like to contribute.

To add to this already great, well positioned and reasoned thread: Keep in mind that FOX did not get quite what it wanted from Joss. They asked for dimestore novel and got War and Peace. See the movie Barton Fink for a good take on this showbiz mentality.

So, from the very beginning, this entire thing we love so much was an odd duck and only getting, well, odder. Seeing what FOX did to it the first time, how desperate are we to see them take another crack at it?

Blue Sun used to be Capri Sun back on Earth That Was. Honest. Heard it from a Blue Handed feller.
