Greetings,
I certainly hope everyone has been having a great year and is looking forward to a great summer. I'm sure you all know by now that the next big thing for Firefly junkies will be the release of the DVD box set. Things to keep an eye out for: the three unaired episodes. the audio commentaries (I did one with Joss for "Serenity" and with Alan for "War Stories", I know the girls did one as well.) Adam Baldwin's rendition of The Hero of Canton (the man they call "me").
All looks great on the movie front. A recent dinner with cast members, Joss and the lovely Kai confirmed rumours that we will all be big damn movie stars. Thank you Joss.
Myself, I am still recovering from the heartbreak of Firefly being cancelled. I heard from somewhere something about a Fox industry promo showing what makes them so great inculded clips from Firefly. Interesting.
My dream? Every three years make a Firefly movie, like the Bond series- but they won't start to suck after a while.

I thought they stoped playing Firefly cause they were not getting much viewers.

Of course they weren't. That's what happens when you show something out of order, including showing the pilot episode last instead of first, when you constantly preempt a show for sports, when you advertise it as something very different from what it actually is, and when you stick it in a timeslot which only one Scifi show has ever survived (X-Files).

Fox mishandled Firefly in just about every way possible. And on top of that, the ratings were about the same as those that The X-Files got in that same timeslot. Its just that Fox now has higher standards.

The fact that the ratings weren't as high as they'd like doesn't mean it wasn't a brilliant show.
