The thing about life is :You can rehearse it all you want, But nobody else ever sticks to the script. So why bother?

Joss already posted and denied it. No big surprise there I guess.

Hi boys and odd, smooth, compellingly bumpy non-boys. I'm in Liverpool, on Alexis' lap... sorry, laptop, checking in and seeing all sorts of nonsense about a sequel to something. I did run into someone at Forbidden Planet, and he said something about that I ought to make more things, possibly art things, and I agreed. He didn't know the fellow I was with was Brian Hitch but it was 'cause I'm so, yeah, awesome. Yes, Warren and Natalie and Brian and I had dinner, after nattering on for SFX at the hotel (I like that mag) and it was blazingly fun. They're all three multitalented, urbane, and surprisingly sweet. I'm none of those things but I came the farthest so they had to be nice. BUT...

There's no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and I'm not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there. I've seen Nathan and Tim (and Summer and Alan) recently because they're my friends because I'm so, yeah, awesome. So let's put that to bed and smother it with a pillow.

Fun fact: Didn't read the thread, but as for James playing Shinzon: that's the reason he left for darkest Africa at the end of season six. We were giving him the time off to do the film. When it didn't happen, the course was already set. But he got a nifty soul and that worked out okay.

Oh, and I heard Marvel pushed back X-Men 18? I've delivered 19, and Johnny's working steadily, so blame the marketplace. In fact, overturn the marketplace, the way Jesus did when he was cranky about that thing that time.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

So, typical fandom behavior, then?

Yeah.

Thanks Kessie.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Bwah. Joss is in my neck-o-the-woods. He's a brave man.

The sequel thing came from somebodies LiveJournal (not Warren & chums). Unfortunately, and not entirely surprisingly, they got the wrong end of the stick. I'm not sure how far the rumour did the rounds, but if it was any length it's my fault for mentioning it on Whedonesque.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

...Huh, I didn't even realise there was confusion over the "1", I thought I was just joining the crowd. We Eugene Browncoats took on the Portland Browncoats in kickball on Saturday, which we thought was quite a fitting date for a gathering of Browncoats. But it meant we couldn't join the Seattle Browncoats for the Big Damn Anniversary shindig to which they invited us.

Can I use the word Browncoats more times in one paragraph?

(Oh, and Eugene won! go team us!)

Does that make your team Browncoat Ducks?

Go Ducks! Still giddy over the football team's win this weekend.

And yeah Ducks! I think we have enough Browncoats here to play tennis. Doubles even.

Here's a question. I see many posts online from people saying fans have to keep faith a Firefly type project will reappear again. Is that a requirement as a fan, or is that what defines the term Browncoat?

I'd say I don't see how faith and Firefly go together, but I suppose that's what the show was about.

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...

Not big on faith, myself, of any kind, so I don't see it being necessary. Mind you, I've never called myself a browncoat, so maybe it *is* a good definition.

So, did anyone see the HD episode yet? I'm :ahem: acquiring it, though not having an HD TV, nor, it would seem, a PC that's fast enough to show the thing anyway (have I reached *that* point of the PC cycle already?), I doubt that I'll get a chance to watch it for a long while.
