Firefly - Possible Season 2?

[Brown Rat]

Mal is my favorite character, too, Lizzybob. He's such a tortured, disillusioned, I'm-not-a-hero hero, who has stared darkness in the face and then come (all battered and bruised but so d--n pretty) back to the light, somehow managing by sheer will to create safe haven for the family of strangers that gather 'round him.

Joss does that kind of character well.

Yeah, who do we have to kill/sleep with/bribe to get Firefly back on the screen?

I was only recently introduced to Firefly; suggestions: more petitions, inundate the studios with mail, ad campaigns..... Or we could do what the Marx Bros. did (at least, supposedly), and barricade the door so that the head of the studio can't leave until he/she agrees to our demands....

(Please tell me that no one takes that last seriously.)

[Brown Rat]

Money talks, or so they say. So one way to encourage the money managers to fund more Firefly is to buy extra copies of the DVDs to loan to friends, converting said friends so that they buy their own copies to keep and extra copies to convert their friends, and so on. Or give Firefly to everybody on your gift list.

Well, there goes the rest of my budget.....

yep the bottom line to the money men is how mutch will it bring in and the tv bosses and add men need good veiwing figers to make there sales go up to a sad but greedy world we love to live in they need to see numbers big numbers!

[Blue Mythril]

Isn't there already something going around where fans are quoting how much they are willing to pool to help fund firefly? Think of how much money they could get if everyone gave $20? Many people would give more

[Brown Rat]

That's an interesting idea. I'd pay more than $20 . . . but I wonder if it would be enough. Don't shows and films cost millions to make?

Somewhere I heard speculation about producing new episodes to distribute via iTunes and the like. Viewers would pay ahead per episode or per season to finance production.

[j. d. worthington]

Just as a comparison, I had understood that, toward the end, Buffy was costing something in the neighborhood of $1.6 million dollars per episode and up. There are usually 22 episodes to a season these days, so figure it from there.

I loved this series. Freshest thing i'd seen on TV for a LONNNG time.

Odd thing is, I'd never have watched it had it not gotten cancelled.

The series was never really advertised over here (uk).. it wasn't until the Movie was released on DVD that I even knew the whole thing existed. And that wouldnt have been made if the series hadn't have been chopped by the great exec in the sky.

Anyhoo.. I bought the series on DVD and promptly fell in love with Kailey. The rest, as they say, is historeee...


Favourite Episode... Our Mrs Reynolds. The scene where Jayne offers his gun up for swapsies is just toooo funny.

Me, too. I didn't watch it until after it was canceled (which is strange, because I'm a big fan of Buffy and Angel).

Mal should have taken him up on his offer! (OK, I didn't really mean that. I love Mal for not having traded Saffron off. But Saffron is megabadnews.)

Agreed. But she's such a great character!

[BookStop]

Guys always say Saffron is a great character. I found her kind of annoying in the second episode guest-starring her, although the Mrs. Reynolds episode was great. My husband would say those are his two favorite eps. Hmmm. Wonder why?

As far as characters - I like Kaylee, she hilarious with her innocent act, but at the same time wise beyond her years.

I think that, just as a fair number of women are drawn to "bad boys", a lot of men are at least slightly drawn to "bad girls", women they know are trouble from the word go, but ... Perhaps it's a bit of a self-destructive streak (not to mention the nude scenes; that had nothing to do with it, of course.....)
