Has anyone else heard about this movement? Apparently Nathan Fillion made the error of expressing a wish to buy the rights to Firefly himself and distribute new episodes. This of course awakened the beast that is Firefly's fans and this website was started to raise money to try and get Nathan the money he needs. I know it has basically zero chance of working but I certainly would donate at least 50 bucks. At the very least I hope this will show someone at Fox that they still have the potential to make money off of this property and perhaps it can indirectly bring new life to the long dead show.

If you haven't seen it, then watch it. Its basically about some space smugglers. It is sometimes overhyped as the greatest thing ever, but even if its not quite that good it is still awesome and worth watching.

Fool it is named Firefly cause that is the ship class that they use. Its like a space western really.

Han solo actually makes appearances in like all the episodes. If you look closely you can usually spot a tiny replica of him frozen in carbonite in the background.

I feel like someone is playing a joke on me. If any people would know about Firefly I figured it would be the good people on Sydlexia forums.

I thought the show only had like 4 episodes

The show had 14 episodes (including a double length premiere episode) before it was canceled. It ended up having such a cult following though that fans rallied and there was also a movie made named Serenity.

Serenity is the actual name of the ship. And of course the title doesn't make any sense just hearing it now, but I remember them advertising it like crazy on fox so it would have been pretty difficult to not know what it was actually about back when it first aired.

If anyone is interested in watching it and has Netflix I know you can stream all the episodes on there.

I am writing it off now because it literally only existed for one more episode than Kitchen Confidential and I already watch enough TV. Not because of the name. However, I am positive that without hearing reviews while it was on the air and only knowing the name, there is no way I would have checked it out when it was current.

I would think that if a show had such a short run and like 8 years later still had serious fan movements to bring it back that would only serve as proof that what few episodes it has are worth watching. I mean 80,000 people are willing to pledge money on a 1 in a billion chance it will be brought back, and that is after only a week. I think that is pretty impressive for a show that was canceled after only 11 episodes aired.

Its just pledges right now. It's my understanding that they wont take any actual money unless they hear word from someone that is in a position to actually do something with it. I doesn't have a scam feel to it, but that could just mean it is a good scam.
