I am a recent Browncoat as some of you know. i was recruited by the sci fi marathons and came aboard just in time to get excited about the movie.
I have heard a lot of "let it goes" going around. Be satisfied with the movie and move on.
If they listened to you then.
If they listened to you then, There wouldn't have been reruns.
If they listened to you then, there wouldn't have been a feature film.
If they listened to you then, there would never have been a big damn Flanvention.
If they listened to you then, so much would have been lost.

Star wars ended. Firefly gave this me something to obsess over. i put down my lightsaber and put on a brown coat.

Don't let anything take the sky from you. Even if there is never another tv show or movie, we have a community.

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoë: You live on a spaceship, dear.
Wash: So?

Don't worry. Some of these people are most likely the same people that told us to let go back when Firefly was originally cancelled in 2002. You can be sure that most of the older Browncoats are still fighting and haven't laid down arms or will ever do so. We do appreciate the reinforcements.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

You had a lightsaber? Starwars is for nerds, real men who live vicariously through TV watch Firefly and Survivor. Um.... at least I got one out of two...

Hey, there's nothing wrong with Star Wars. At least, Star Wars up until about 1997. After that, whoah. I have NEVER seen a franchise take such a remarkable header directly into the toilet. Heck, even Star Trek had to go through the entirety of Voyager and Enterprise to really stink up the place.

Thank goodness for some quality sci-fi in the 'verse, eh?

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

Actually, the Star Wars franchise is still quite good, in novel form. I'd gladly trade the entire Prequel trilogy for one new NJO-era book.

Same with Star Trek. Except for the glacial pace of new releases (where the ruttin' hell is "DS9: Warpath?"), I'm seeing some of the best Trek in years.

Why are we still talkin about this? We are all crew, and we are holdin til Mal gets back.. end. of. story. :-)

Now, everyone has to follow their own heart and path.. so those that need to let go... go in peace etc. but for the rest of us... pass the protein, and check the weapons cache.. we still got Jayne's swinging well, you know...

Personally, I didn't care much for the NJO. A bit too dark for my tastes. That, and the Yuuzhan Vong just didn't appeal to me as villains, and the amount of fluctuation in the tide of the war from novel to novel was staggering.

And Jacen Solo flat pi$$ed me off.

As for Star Trek, I have to agree. Particularly with regard to the New Frontier books.

Hmm, suddenly I'm getting a great picture of Mal and Mac getting together for drinks at the Captain's Table.

OOOOO! Fanfic idea!

Yeah, i'm not seein that. I'm not a Joss Fan. I'm a Firefly fan. Never got into Buffy or the spin-off. They had their moments but i thought they were just kinda .. well, i'm not here to bash. Firefly was very special. I haven't watched much TV the last few years. That's why i never caught Firefly til it came to DVD. Been a fool for it ever since.

So, i guess to sum it up, if it ain't gonna be Firefly, well, that's just sad...

I second that. I always thought, Buffy was "okay" (except the Musical, that was great ^_^ ), but you can´t compare it to Firefly. it´s just way to different.

I don't have a problem if some people want to hang up their browncoats for awhile. I understand how they feel. It can be an emotional drain having to hang on with the franchise's future still in doubt. If they have to give themselves some emotional distance, fine.

...Although you might wanna bring a pack of matches (or a Glade Plug-in) with you for that stand, especially if FollowMal brings back beer. Ever see "Burning Saddles", specifically, the cookout scene?

Some of us will hold forever, cuz it's what we are. Think of that Japanese soldier they found living in a cave on some remote jungle atoll back in the 70's. Nobody'd ever told him WWII was over. I'd bet his rescuers had a hell of a time convincing him to go home (especially if they were Caucasians).

We are the few, the proud, the willing cannonfodder. Somebody's gotta establish a beachhead and hold it against impossible odds. What does that make us? Big... Damned... Marines (Balls and Bayonets Expeditionary Force).
