...and all I have to say is, Fox can go straight to hell.

That about sums it up. Thanks for your time, and thank you FF for that little piece of serenity.

Good for you! Firefly rocks, doesn't it.

I had a friend over, and we saw about half of the pilot before she needed to leave. The next day, during homeroom she started asking me all these questions. Mostly about the plot and such.

After I answered those, she finally asked "How long did it last." I told her how many episodes were made. That got her really emotional "But that show had so much potential! It was great!"

Ah, Fox is dumb. So is CBS. Yeah. (CBS had my second-favorite show of all time, Joan of Arcadia, and cancelled it after only... 2 seasons. Too early. The it was replaced by Ghost Whisperer, the only redeeming quality of that being that they had Sean Maher as a guest star.).

Fox has a habit of making poor decisions. It is to bad that Sci Fi network couldnt pick up the rights to firefly and continue the series. It was such a well done series and deserved to stay on.
Course I just roled up a character for a serenity role play and had to go borrow the entire season one and watch the Serenity movie and I am freaking hooked. It is amazing and leave it to Fox to screw up a good thing.

Course, what we're all forgetting is that without Fox we'd never have got the series in the first place. Having said that someone else might have picked it up...

Although I do find the American network's approach to the series funny:

"Joss, Joss, please make us a series! You're the best we love you. Uh, Joss. Episode 1 showed and our psychic, Mystic Mabel, says the ratings are gonna be rubbish. So we're gonna have to kill the show. See ya. We love you."

Then later:
"OK, we'll do your movie, Joss, because we love you. but we won't advertise it and we'll distribute it by pushing it under the doors of cinemas in a plain brown wrapper."

I watched the whole series myself, for the first time, the other day. Absolutely stunning. I've just finished watching Bushwhacked again and on the 2nd DVD for a 2nd time. It gets better the more you view. Watching the last episode broke my heart. Just knowing there's no more and not getting to know Mals past more, not knowing more about Kaylee, seeing how Zoe and Wash's marriage develops, seeing if River finds her marbles, finding out if shepard realises he is on the right ship, not knowing if Jayne would ever actually betray Mal. So many unanswered questions. It makes myself and no doubt you guys very sad :(

Yes I also feel your anger at Fox. Its all about ratings. Maybe if they put the show in a decent slot it would have got the ratings. Being from UK I'm surprised it hasn't been picked up by the BBC or Channel 4. Those channels tend to transmit shows like Farscape, Stargate, B5 and Star Trek and Firefly would fit right in with their schedule.

MISSTRESSAHARA

You have to wonder what the Fux execs think when they read these posts, because you know they do, or have a feeling of the animosity the fans of all their cancelled shows have towards them.

Knowing that, and seeing the potential I can only surmise the real reason they've not given up the rights is

1: Their stubbourne refusal to admit they were wrong, because then they'd have to admit what utter fools they were to have missed an opportunity like this, and as people who think they know what the audience wants to do so would be worse than any flailing we can give them. Nobody wants to admit they were wrong. Ever.

2: I believe there was animosity between the head of Fux and Joss, and that was a partial factor.

3: The costs for the show were high, and if anything has proven these days (non)reality shows are cheap to make, popular, and bring them instant profits. No actors to pay, no big sets to make, no need to even think about it when you watch. (The dumming down of society people)

4: The last is more recently discussed, Fux sees just how big this project has gotten, the DVD sales are bringing them lots of money without them having to spend one dollar for adverts, so it must be like laughing all the way to the bank for them. They won't give up those rights, not while they're making a tidy profit for nothing. Meanwhile as the fanbase grows and more DVD's are sold the price for the rights will go up, all sad truths I hate to think about. Oh, I believe they'll be willing to sell, but the amount will be astronomical.

In short, though it breaks my heart, I don't believe we'll have another series (and really, I don't know if I want one now. Wouldn't be the same) Movies are the way to go, and we'll get one. Everybody's fretting that Serenity won't make a big enough profit to make a sequel, Universal's already seen the numbers, are seeing the numbers coming in everyday, and they're already nodding their heads. I know this, because if Cheeper by the Dozen, Big Momma, and the dismal Final Destination can get sequel's made, then our BDS is in the bag. Just have to wait for the official word. Faith is good when you believe.

I don't care what you believe in.... Just BELIEVE.

Yea, it's sad but true. The bigger the fan base gets the more money they make while not having to lift a finger. Us Browncoats do the advertising for them--every time you convert someone you're advertising for Fox

.

Fox should pay us for every person we convert...

I am sorry that the Malevolence of such a putrid intelligence, diseased to the point of incoherency has scorned you (aka Fox).
Such a deep feeling of abhorrence should be released by Renting Firefly from the video store then to go buy Firefly (when you have gas in the car or when you have the dolla-dolla to spend) and then for the sake of redemption Buy you’re third copy of Serenity. Then while in a state of utter Firefly comatose toss sharp dart like objects at a Fox logo… yup that’s better.

Thank you for saying this. It really hadn't occured to me, and it's a gorram good point. I saw the first Big Momma, it was terrible, and Final Destination got worse every time and it's now it's a trilogy. I would really rather have it back on TV, or at the very least a long mini series, because two hours is just not long enough. Especially considering the wait. But I'm a glutton, so I would say that.
