Dedicated Browncoats Want to "Help Nathan Buy Firefly"

[Dwarfman]

So what we'll do is, is each of us grabs a few boxes and we go door to door selling Fruity Oaty Bars!

The proceeds of this would go to this most worthwhile charity =)>

 

[SwimmingRock]

What? What? Wait, what? Really?

OmigodOmigodOmigodOmigodOmigodOmigodOmigod. I don't know if it's just the news or if the massive amouont of caffeine going through my system is making me more susceptible to awesome, but I am so insanely stoked. I can scrape some money out of my savings, no doubt.

Will ofcourse wait for more official news and word from Captain Tightpants himself, but I would totally donate to this. Best idea ever! Fuck television networks and the horrible shit they air. Let's get some good shows back up.

In closing, I would just like to add: Whoohoo!

yeah, it looks like this has sort of gotten out of hand.

Firefly fans are some of the most ravenous people I've ever encountered.

They put Star Wars and Star Trek fans to SHAME and Firefly only had 12 episodes.

 

[Dorkmaster Flek]

I would totally be down for this. It would be my Christmas present for myself to donate to this cause.

 

[Sparrow]

I have never agreed with anything more so than this in my entire live. Nathan Fillion is the man, Firefly was the best damn sci-fi show that never was and I have a bunch of £10 notes lying around my house than I can't think of anything better to do with. I aim to misbehave.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

This is really the definition of too good to be true.

Huh, that didn't last long. Oh well.

 

[Rivers Wells]

Point is, this kind of initiative by the fans is big and incredibly hard to ignore. You can bet some TV stations perked an ear up when they heard about this, even IF it doesn't raise a dime.

 

[Flames66]

I will support this if it comes to anything.

stiewe horsley?!?!?! Stop torturing dyslexics!

 

[danintexas]

Me and my wife would toss in $500 if this was serious and actually went down

W000000000T!!!!
It's gonna be hard to get everybody back together, and I'd love to have Serenity non-canonised so we can bring back -spoiled for your pleasure-. But whatever the outcome, I'm glad to see people giving it a shot and I'd sure donate a small amount. My question is why didn't we do this earlier??

Oh, I almost forgot.
[HEADING=1]FUCK YEAH!!![/HEADING]

 

[Squiddo]

I'd remortgage my freaking house to fund the return of firefly.

 

[GeorgW]

Why can't I be a millionaire and give this man my money!!!?

(I may be killed for this, but I've never watched Firefly, I live in the UK, anyone give me somewhere to watch it?)

Buy it. It both needs and deserves your money. I bought it on a hunch and was really happy I did. Don't listen to that other guy that wanted you to watch it free from the comfort of your own home right now, go out and buy the dvd, it needs you!

Uhm... buying this man's book now. Goblin's Comic creator Tarol Hunt has been pimping Wise Man's Fear anyway, and now I find the author is a Firefly fan willing to donate to the cause. Someone like that might have a shot in hell of making an impact big enough for the rest of us to push it through.

God this internet is wonderful.

I honestly would throw what cash i could spare into the project if joss and fillion gave the go ahead.

Honestly, i doubt either of them would say no. Nathan Fillion, as written, has stated many times that he'd go back to firefly if he could and Joss has often mentioned how he wished he could have finished the series like it deserved, heck hes releasing a series of comics entitled "way of the shepard" to enlighten us on one of the most mysterious of the crew.

 

[Yankeedoodles]

(And who wouldn't want to see Stana Katic or Molly C. Quinn with a recurring role on a new Firefly?)

Stana as a planet's local sheriff, maybe?

Sorry, how do you quote? I'm new to the site.

Just click on the quote button in the bottom right corner of the reply that you want to quote.

OT: Sounds good pretty awesome!

I'll admitt I got a small giggle out of the fact a possible soon-to-be-rich author (a la Castle) wants to fund Nathan's return to Firefly.

There's been so much good news going around lately I'll be lucky if my mind doesn't explode by the months end.

Browncoats forever!

Also: CNN Source fail:

When reading a story about an army of internet fans willing to pledge thousands of dollars to resurrect a nine-year old television show, an ad links to "Impact the World/Take Action" pages on the needs of people following the Earthquakes and Floods of the past two months....

I loved Firefly, but that does put a slightly different spin on it...

Hm, that's an interesting point. I don't think it's really valid yet. If this gets pulled off, then it's sad that the cause donated to wasn't more worthy, but at the moment, all this is is positive momentum and speculation.

At the moment there's not even 100,000 people attached to this yet, a tiny proportion of the population able to donate aid to natural disasters, so I think it's unfair to imply the people thinking of giving money to get Firefly made are inherently callous because the cause isn't more worthy. Of course this is on the assumption that people who want Firefly back wouldn't donate to anything else like a natural disaster fund anyway, and who's to say they haven't?

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it doesn't make a difference. It's not taking money away from the charities tying to help those involved in natural disasters and it's a flawed assumption to think that no one involved in trying to bring back Firefly would help out another cause as well.

Oh, I didn't want to suggest that it's taking money away from natural disasters, or that the people behind the Firefly revitalization are callous. People rush to give aid when disaster strikes probably just as quickly as they do for a project like this. The ad just happened to juxtapose with that particular article and got me thinking about it.
