So, I read an article that said that Joss Whedon doesn’t support the help Nathan buy Firefly movement, but really the comment came from a sister in law that said no one in the verse was on officially on board and that the fans should save their money.
One person commented on it, outraged, by the misleading title, that Joss never said such a thing and that everything that has been posted about Firefly in the recent media has been misleading like “Firefly Returning to Cable” and things of that nature. The user also went on to say that we should still try and bring the show back, even though there really is no support for the fund.
Personally, I may or may not lose followers because of this, but, I feel like the fund or campaign is a losing fight and an effort that will ultimately produce no results. For one they are just taking pledges, not actual money, which is smart. Except when it comes to people there is a HUGE difference between saying you’ll donate 100 dollars to ACTUALLY donating a 100 dollars.
If I had 200% proof that Firefly would return and they needed help from the fans that golly, I’d donate some money. Probably not 100, more like 10. I just personally think the browncoats should save their money and invest in Firefly merchandise or something else related to help the franchise. I just think that’d be a better use of time and money.
Don’t get me wrong, the campaign is lovely and probably very heart warming to everyone that was involved with Firefly, but, let’s enjoy what we have and not go over board, shall we?
Stay Shiny.
I think this song describes the battle for the Independence.
Ludo: Battle Cry.
Lyrics:
oh, is there anything left to say?
you’ve been down so long you’ve forgotten to believe
(oooh)
you’re watching it slip away
you’ve been kicked around, they got you on your knees
but they’re all the same
they laugh and walk away
and they think you’ll turn around and go back home
back at home
they said you’d never win
you don’t just climb the hill and grab the crown
but they’re all the same
scared of judgement day
and you’re sure you’ll turn around and go back home
but noooo
[chorus]
we are young
but we will never die
we won’t give up
this is our battle cry
we will defeat the other guy
gonna sit there in defeat
you better suck it up boy and get up off the ground
you forget they made you bleed
they kicked you like a dog when you were down
if there’s anyone
looking out above
then they’ll never see us coming to reclaim our glorious days
[chorus]
we dream the dreams
now we will fight the fight
we will defeat the other guys
and we’ll lead the dreams
until they die inside
we’ll raise their kids
and commandeer their wives
we’ll curse their gods
and drink up all their wine
we will defeat the other guys
(other guys)
How much do YOU love Firefly? As much as this man?

Wait… this isn’t what you were looking for?
Sorry it took so long to post, I slept in- a lot.
Submit adorable poems that describe Kaylee or ones you wrote yourself! :D

You know what my fellow Browncoats, I agree.
I mean, as much as it sucks that this wonderful program got cancelled, the amount of hype that has been created to get the show back on the air is boarder-line compulsive and a little crazy. The Help Nathan buy Firefly movement is heart-warming but even Mr. Fillion himself has said for fans to not donate their money to such a cause. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see new episodes or a sequel but I’m not going to get my hopes up, because as a browncoat I’m proud to say that I get enjoyment out of the short 14 episode series, the movie, the bonus features, the endless hour of available fan fiction, the comic books, the graphics, art work, this blog, other blogs, the references in other TV shows. All of this makes me happy to know that I’m part of something that even though it ended in 2002 is still very much alive today, in thousands of people hearts. Which is enough for me. Enough to declare myself a proud independent and I will rewatch the series the movie, re-read all the comics and fan fiction and re-browse google images, deviant art and everything else until my heart is content. In the famous words of Mal, we have have done the impossible and that makes us mighty. So lets enjoy what we have, each other and what we can create.
Stay Shiny my lovely browncoats.
