Quote:
Abusing links is the only way I know how to live. But I am here with a purpose, my friends. Call me joss Whedon: Rumor Crusher! (Or "Mister Fendendo", if we're being intimate.)

Since everyone's all abuzz with the CW rumor, I have to get all official and say: WE'VE STARTED FILMING NEW EPISODES! Of Dateline. I'm such a troll.

No, there haven't been any overtures from the CW as regards a SereniFly spin-off. I haven't even heard the orchestra tuning up. But if they happen to come calling, I do know what I would do:

1) In order to keep the show cost efficient, we would get rid of a few things we don't need, like spaceships, floors, and Jewel. (You thought I was gonna say 'costumes', didn't you? Porn guy.)

2) Nathan is busy making movies, but since I don't want new cast members, everybody in the cast would just move over one. Jewel (she's back!) would play Mal, Ron would play Kaylee, Morena would play Book, and so on.

3) People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.

4) The actors can make up their dialogue. I'm bushed, and they're all funny, and the hell with it. Maybe I'll give them a premise to work off of, like "You're all in trouble" or "Wash has a thing". They could maybe light it too.

5) Klingons, but not alien Klingons. But still Klingons.

So already the show is running like a well oiled companion. I'm just proud to be a part of the Country Western network, and I know this will be their biggest hit since "Have Space-Gun, Will Travel."

I hope, as always, this clears things up. And I hope the executives at the Carnie Wilson network DO give me a call. I've got a million ideas for redoing their offices.

Power to the people who are powerful enough to crush the other people! -jossy.

I admit to being new to Joss..but I have read all the articles/threads/people drinking too much hate-orade so i know what is out there...but...having read that...

does he WANT to do this again? That post is hard to read....God I want this show back...

If there WERE overtures he would never tell us. That'd be a deal-killer fer sher.

Think about corporate mergers: Anybody who finds out about it in advance and blabs gets fired, anybody who acts on that info gets thrown in jail for insider trading, and the poor stiffs who work for either company had just keep scratchin out their 9-to-5s until they hear it on CNN. If we hear it, it prolly ain't true.

In other words, Joss is havin fun with us... but only time will tell.

Wednesday, February 15, 2006 3:51 AM

Probably true, probably true...but why say anything at all if that is the case?

I fall in the category with most of us I guess...I cling to every slightly miniscule piece of good news hoping it is "the one"...

Well good on him for getting in there and debunking that rumor quickly. Now I don't have to wonder anymore. I didn't think it was true, but I did have a tiny glimmer of hope. *sigh*

As for the, "He's not allowed to tell us if something really is being talked about" stance, my thinking is that he would just refrain from commenting were that the case. I seriously doubt he would lie about it. Stupid rumors. *grumble*

See, this is why you should never get your hopes up to begin with. We all love Firefly, but I think it's become pretty evident that there's not going to be a continuation of this show in any kind of television or movie realm. The sooner you all understand that, the sooner you can allow the healing process to begin.

If you pay attention you'll see that for the purposes of legal and "dont put your foot in your mouth" practices, producers and actors will often say and maintain certain points of interest up until the exact second in which something is down on paper. Don't put too much stock in any one thing.

If someone saw them come out of that building, and there are whispers, no matter what the cast themselves say, it is a good sign. Of course they can't say anything; there's obligations. But the press can. And since this isn't exactly Star Wars Episode IX, i can't see this being started for the purposes of mainstream attention. Don't get your hopes up, but don't ye despair yet, either.

I refuse to lose hope that our beloved show will return in either a show or a movie.

I will wait until Joss says in a post, that the calvary has ridden in and we are getting a sequel or a new series, or a mini-series or a direct to DVD movie. I'm holdin'.

And I'll probably get my hopes up again and have them dashed again, but that's ok. I'm not gonna stop loving this show and characters and I'm not going anywhere.

Definitely my opinion...lest we all forget Joss rambled similar inneuendo before he could officially announce the BDM. For me this is almost as good as Joss saying the series has returned. The CW must be careful not to announce their Fall lineup too prematurely.

While I don't think it is a done deal that the series is returning, I mentioned on another thread that a mini-series would allow the CW to gauge potential series interest, and I think that is the route they will take.

We need a Joss to Reality dicitionary...or a decoder ring (that would be cool)...notice he never says "we aren't coming back," he debunks a "Firefly spin-off" not Firefly/Serenity nor does he mention the CW by its correct name...semantics.

Just Believe.

We will hold...we hold till Mal gets back...wait do you see that on the horizon?

While of course I'm disappointed that Joss didn't come right out and say that they were deep in negotiations about another season of Firefly, I'm not really surprised. CW's a brand-new station, and taking on Firefly is a financially risky option. That does NOT mean, however, that they won't do so at some point.

I'm looking at it this way: actions speak much louder than words, and thus far there have been quite a few words bandied about, most of them vague. So what? It's called deniability. The action that sparked all this brou-haha was three of our favorite actors strolling out of the CW offices. They were there for a reason. Now, whether we're all making Mount Everest out of a mini-mole hill (definitely a possibility), or CW actually was making noises about possibly making an overture to maybe bring Firefly back, I don't know, nor does anyone, except people who can't talk as long as they value their jobs.

Until I hear a flat-out denial of any further episodes whatsoever, until Joss tells us to hang up our brown coats and stop running ourselves ragged in an effort to recruit more folks to The Cause, I am just going to remain a naive, optimistic fool. To quote a previous poster: "They can have my hope when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers." Amen.

Bring on the naysayers then! I can take 'em...

At this point, I think there's only one thing left to do... Kidnap Joss and the entire Firefly crew, forcing Joss to make endless phone calls until he gets back on TV and forcing the crew to act out fan scripts until the end of time. I've got some very strong rope we can use!

Joss is so clever and funny! It's wonderful reading his posts, even if they contain bad news. Or seem to contain it. Thanks for that, CABridges!

He must have to be so careful about what he says that he has to write like that to protect himself and the cast and everything.

You know, somehow just hearing from him is encouraging, and I think everything's going to work out just fine in the end.

Knew the rumors were too good to be true. I doubt all our dreams are going to come true so perfectly just out of the blue.

At least we all got a nice image of a well oiled companion.

And for those who think joss is just playing with his words so that he isn't really denying anything, I think that's a little delusional. This is just how joss posts. Plus I don't think people usually like to refer to the network they're doing business with as Crack Whore network (later in the thread).

I like the Browncoat attitude -- "it still may happen".

It may or may not. I have no clue. I don't even know what I'm doing today, much less Joss Whedon.

However, I hope we don't turn into the likes of the Beatles fans who are still hoping for a Beatles reunion, even though half of the band is dead.

There will come a point when it would be silly to keep hoping, but that point hasn't arrived yet.

So, until then, we should remain positive, do our part (without stalking the actual cast & crew, of course), and hope for the best.

I think perhaps he is saying that even if he's given the ok to do the show again. Why go through all the angst again? He's tired of all the crap he has to take from all the higher ups and their opinions of where he wants to take his own program. They step right in and take over and tell him what he can and can't do--and then there are actors that want to input their say on dialouge, etc. It must be truly exhausting. Perhaps it's not as bad when it comes down to the big screen. Even if he's given a green light to small screen--he may not want to go that route again--and who can blame him. He's had a taste of more creative control on the big screen. It would be a director's dream. The show was his baby and was manipulated and then nixed. He's most likely still a bit pissed about it. I'm betting on seeing a new installment on an HBO, Cinemax, etc--or theatrical release. Just my opinion. Just reading between the lines of his comments here.

I read it as more along the lines of "I'll only do the show if the proper resources are in place and I have doubts as to CW having the willingness to provide those resources." Maybe I'm wrong and I hate to put words into another persons mouth (particularly puting words into the mouth of somebody who is much better at words than I am) but that's the vibe I'm taking away from this.

And hey there is still good news. We will be getting more comics and there still is hope for a Serenity sequel of some form. Sure I'd prefer a new series, TV is Firefly's native medium after all, but movies are fun to watch as well.

Hello All,
Here's my take on this. Instead of being down in the dumps our rumor was smashed why don't we keep doing what we are doing to push for more Firefly/Serenity? No point in fretting over what we can't control. But maybe we should be flooding CW with e-mails and letters to let them know we are loyal to the show and will do what we can to get more Firefly. The fanbase is still growing, and it seems whoever watches it for the first time becomes addicted for life. In the mean time, gather more fans, buy the dvd's and keep spreading the word to everyone you know. I think there is hope, we just need to be patient and never give up!

I'm new here, but I have to agree with GrimJack in regards to Joss's post. Belief is our strongest ally. From everything I know, it was the belief of the fans that got us a movie and has kept this, our beloved 'verse, spinning.

I believe.

However, while our belief in continuation may, quite possibly, never be realized, we need not believe but rather KNOW that the SereniFly 'verse has become too powerful to just fade away without a word. As GrimJack said, we hold. We hold until they get back.

I like the idea of begging and all, but how about a more devious route? I think we should write to them and say how happy we are that they chose to revive Firefly. Saying we are now their biggest fans and we can't wait for their network to hit our tvs so we can tune in and throw out or remotes because we'll never need to change the channel again.

It's much easier to say no to a begging request than to tell someone that they're wrong about watching their channel.

"No, you're mistaken. You shouldn't watch our network, because we didn't pick up Firefly. Sorry about the misunderstanding."

No one wants to say that.

Wednesday, February 15, 2006 7:22 PM

I've seen the commentary--yes, he did say that. I've also read alot of comments he's made in interviews about what he went through during the making of Firefly. It was a struggle for him to tell his story his way. Creative control was not entirely in his hands--I'm not a writer--but I can tell you that I'd be LIVID if I'd have to deal with what he's had to deal with. Also, when I say 'perhaps' in regards to Joss--I'm not putting words in his mouth--that's why the 'perhaps' is there. It's to bring out the hypothetical aspect to the thought I'm presenting--or just the thought that's coming out of my @ss--however anyone wants to take it--lol.
For the record--I want as badly as the rest of you to see our show back on the little screen. I'm just trying to see things from what might 'perhaps' be Joss' point of view having to deal with all the politics of hollywood--from having read his own comments.
Cheers.

LMAO! That is truly a grand and devious idea! *snerk* And like all the best evil plans, you can always claim total ignorance and blame it on Kristen's rumours ;p I can't really see a worst-case scenario there...

So, the rumor is de-bunkleated, for now. But that doesn't mean we quit, does it?
We be patient and wait it out.

Although, if Jewel plays Mal, and Ron plays Kaylee and Morena plays Book...
does that mean Sean plays Zoe, Alan is River and Adam is Wash? That could get really wierd....

Once we have a clearer picture of how things are developing, we should go all out, but I conjure it wouldn't hurt to have a go-ahead.

Just a thought but is it possible that someone from the corpoartion (CW that is), would see us posting these crafty ideas? Perhaps I'm just cautious. But ya know, if we were all really Browncoats conspiring about a plan to take down the Alliance, putting it on the Cortex would well, make things more interesting...for lack of a better word. I would think if they were considering picking it up someone would scout the net for what fans are saying(possibly those who hate it as well if any Browncoat has left em standin that is). Either way, I'm sending my letter out tomorrow and letting my friends know of the scheme. One way or another I'm determined to do what I can to help Firefly/Serenity continue.

Keep in mind, many network execs, as well as the heads of variouse "save-our-show" campaings have said several times that emails are virtually worthless - simply because one person could conceivably be sending in hundreds of emails that still only represent 1 viewer.

Snail mail, on the other hand, is regarded much more highly. Preferably hand-written letters, as a printed letter can be duplicated many times, even to different addressees, with little effort. A hand-written letter sent via snail mail is said to represent potentially hundreds of individuals in the minds of corporate execs, as the theory is that for every one person willing to put pen to paper, there are a hundred too lazy (or busy) to do so.

I speak as someone who wrote many a "Crackers DO matter!" letter to the Sci-Fi channel in support of Farscape.

Luckily -- before I start a football jihad -- I'm not sure any blame needs to be placed. As far as I could see, Mr. Whedon only debunked current rumors. I didn't figure we'd get our shiny new series immediately, what with everyone having so much on their respective plates.

I didn't see a word about "never again". I choose to be blissfully oblivious to negativity and selectively vigilant of our esteemed Mr. Whedon's witty hints.

"The fanbase is still growing, and it seems whoever watches it for the first time becomes addicted for life."

That would be me. Never even heard of Firefly until I wandered into the video store a few days agp when I was sick and just happened to pick up Serenity. Never even heard about it or Firefly. After watching Serenity I went right back to the vid store and rented the TV series. To my utter disappointment there were only four disks. I watched all of them in two days. In fact, I have yet to return them. At any rate, I went from having no clue about Serenity or Firefly to seeing all episodes to posting on this website in three short days.

Truly a series that was dropped way before it's time. Now I can't get that fricking theme song out of my fricking head. I love that FF ballad though. I've been singing it in the shower and now my girlfriend even sings it and she hasn't even seen the move or any of the tv episodes.

Anyway, I now have the FF bug and am so fricking pissed that no-one has picked up this incredible series.

i dont really know if it will ever exist on tv anymore, my main hope is for some bid damned sequals or prequals, but anything that shows a flurry of activity from the browncoats can only be a good thing, whether it happens or not at least we can show that we have the numbers, that there IS an audience for this

My point exactly...notice Joss didn't address this point (the first news item) at all. Similar "sightings" were overlooked or debunked leading up to the BDM. I am not believing this rumor (and that's what it still is) blindly, but I am also not falling for Joss's wordgames again.

The Bottom Line is that Kristen at E-Online would have little to gain from posting an unsubstantiated "sighting" about a defunct tv show's possible revival. Hell did she even know about Firefly before her post?

Time will tell if Joss is being Joss.

someone on the firefly lj community was saying that kirsten is a firefly fan herself. also that shes often got facts wrong in the past so im not sure how reliable her source was. this isnt to dicredit her as a writer, its just that in dealing with the world of celebrity gossip, a journalist is bound to get mis fed information or report things that arent true.

however, this hasnt been confirmed or denied to me so im still holding with my un-phased optimistim and im planning on being as loud and as visible about being a browncoat the best i can.

and its not just about being a hardcore browncoat, the newtowrks and studios need to know that regular people love this too. its ok hearing from the fanatics, but they need to know this has appeal and is ultimately sellable to all the good folks at home.
so letter writing and dvd buying for friends it is!

The funny thing is we can't find an address, website, email, nothing for CW. You really think they have a building already? What for? To hold the plants they plan to water someday when they move in and start working?

Now if they said "The UPN buildings" or something like that it might make sense. But as of right now I don't think there even is a CW building for them to have been leaving.

My point is in the details. Notice that's a UPN address. I'm saying I don't think any specific building has been designated as CW yet. Maybe they will just used the old UPN building. Maybe they won't. Though it seems odd that we can't find an address that has CW in it yet a rumor places Nathan, Gina and Summer at this mystical CW building.

We're still here. We're still waiting. Let it die? Like hell. Even if we don't get our show back, even if the Big Damn Trilogy never gets made, SereniFly will keep going. Why? We've got fanfic, or comics. Grunts like us just too damn stubborn to let this thing we love so well just go.

No, there haven't been any overtures from the CW as regards a SereniFly spin-off. I haven't even heard the orchestra tuning up. But if they happen to come calling, I do know what I would do:

1) In order to keep the show cost efficient, we would get rid of a few things we don't need, like spaceships, floors, and Jewel. (You thought I was gonna say 'costumes', didn't you? Porn guy.)

2) Nathan is busy making movies, but since I don't want new cast members, everybody in the cast would just move over one. Jewel (she's back!) would play Mal, Ron would play Kaylee, Morena would play Book, and so on.

3) People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.

4) The actors can make up their dialogue. I'm bushed, and they're all funny, and the hell with it. Maybe I'll give them a premise to work off of, like "You're all in trouble" or "Wash has a thing". They could maybe light it too.

5) Klingons, but not alien Klingons. But still Klingons.

So already the show is running like a well oiled companion. I'm just proud to be a part of the Country Western network, and I know this will be their biggest hit since "Have Space-Gun, Will Travel."

I hope, as always, this clears things up. And I hope the executives at the Carnie Wilson network DO give me a call. I've got a million ideas for redoing their offices.

Hey guys, just bought and finished the Firefly series and Serenity yesterday. Another "3 dayer". Anyways, I, like many of you wanted to know if they plan on bringing back the show, got excited then kicked in the taint after reading the post.
Then I sat back and reread it. If you look at his above phrasing, he just about out and tells you the show will come back. I am the pretty pessamistic but this looked good to me.
Also the you guys have the Kristen whoever she is from E!'s quote wrong. This is from her site, read it closely.

From junglejen9: Firefly. You gotta spill it if you have any additional info, please!
I've heard the CW is considering bringing it back as a series, miniseries or movie for next season. Hurrah! For you who missed my message board posting, on Tuesday, Nate Fillion, Summer Glau and Gina Torres were seen coming out of one of the exec buildings at Paramount, where they are putting together the new CW unit.

If you picked it up it says they were coming out of a exec building ON Paramount, not a CW building. Thats just where they will be housed.
Keep the faith guys, be proud you got the movie made by sheer will and love of the show.

Don't know about the rest of of you, but there's no place I can be...

You just made my day! I DO believe we'll get a sequel or something, but you reminded me that we have each other. Thank you.

Oh wow, we've got new recruits just popping out of the woodwork these days, got a keep a close eye out lately. ;p

Welcome to our little Haven here Onizuka. You wanna make an official post of your recent entry here, I'm sure all sorts of folks'll drop by and issue your browncoat, cook you some food, and let you know we're wierd ;p

I like your outlook, and with all these other posts, good to have someone point that out about Kristen's quote; what with the sighting being at a Paramount building and all. Still not sure if she's pulling it out of her or not, but I'll figure the glass is half full for the time being.

Anyways, always shiny to see a new face out here in the black. Don't be a stranger, now, ya hear? :P

Welcome to the 'verse Onizuka! We're very glad to have you.

And you are right, it does say Paramount and Joss' post does shoot down any word from CW right now, but it doesn't say anything ( despite it's jokiness) about not doing the series or a movie or something.

We'll hold and wait.

Well, this is my first post, as well!

Sign me up as a new Browncoat!

The funny thing is that I had been a raving Buffy/Angel/Joss fan for years. I missed the few first episodes of Firefly when it aired, and caught about half of one ("Out of Gas") later on. That is not the best episode for an intro, so I never really gave it too much more thought.

Then, a few weeks ago, my brother was raving to me about how fantastic the series is, so I gave it a try, bought the DVD set, and have nearly finished all the episodes now.

Utterly brilliant, and I can't imagine how I lived without this show before! I have a few more episodes to finish, and the Serenity film to watch (I already have the DVD). A truly amazing vision!

As for its future, well, Joss is being Joss! His stereotypical humorous approach is actually a good sign, and he's gone on record as saying (quote), "I'm never not going to be interested" in making more films, a new series, etc. It's a question of being asked to do it by the right people, network, etc. Clearly, he didn't say everything he wanted to say about this universe.

My guess is that there will at least be more TV movies, miniseries, etc., on CW, Sci-Fi, whatever, at some point.

What really annoys me is that, if Fox hadn't cancelled it, we'd be in the fourth season by now, well past 75 episodes. (sobs)

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be holding and waiting. Time to watch the series again...

3 dayers, I love it! Good job Onizuka and Noname!

And yay more for everyone's positivity! This CW rumor thing was so negative at first. Bring on the rumors, even the false ones! It's so amusing and doesn't scare me a bit - one of the rumors will be right one of these days.

peace -

I had a similar experience. I caught part of "Our Mrs Reynolds" when it originally aired. It didn't grab me then so that was all I saw. I didn't become a fan until I saw a few complete episodes when it started airing on Scifi channel.

I was similar in the sense that I was a huge Buffy/Angel fan, but for some reason never watched Firefly. Dunno, maybe the whole spaceship thing was offputting. I also didn't watch Fox a whole lot in those days, though.

As for this whole letter writing thing, I'll get mine out as soon as I can; I'm all excited now.
