For you Firefly fans that are still seeking a season 2, Browncoats Rise Again may not be taking donations but The Firefly Season 2 Project looks to be encouraging a pay per episode approach.

UPDATE: A discussion regarding Firefly Season 2 Project. And this one which claims “We intend to license the Firefly Intellectual Property from Fox, produce the show on our dime, and sell to the highest bidder.”

Some details I absolutely missed when the Jack, Locke and Sawyer encountered Zeke. Man I would have been pouring out questions if I were Jack! “Where is this island?” “Keep the island! How do we get off?” and so forth.

Is it me or did Zeke and Locke seem a little to familar to one another? Was Locke’s original encounter with the monster or with the others?

Browncoats defeated…again January 17, 2006 9:28 pm

Earlier I posted about a fan based effort to create a second season of Firefly. I just dropped by BrowncoatsRiseAgain.com to see the progress and was disappointed, albeit not surprised, to find this statement:

No more donations are being taken at this time!
We are in the process of returning all donations received. We came up against insurmountable odds and legal issues launching our fund-raising drive. firefly@browncoatsriseagain.com

If the money is buring a hole in your pocket, please buy a DVD. Firefly (amz) and Serenity (amz) sales at this time will further our cause. We will continue the fight to re-light Firefly using other methods. Thank you for you support in our first 36 hours of activity.

Let’s make sure Lost keeps high ratings!

Firefly Fans Create Website for 2nd season January 17, 2006 9:11 am

BoingBoing alerts us that FireFly fans have created a website to raise money for a 2nd season (brilliant design blares sound so you might want to turn off your speakers). Last night they had raised $346. This morning they report that they’ve raised $840. Wish I could earn money like that! But for Whedon they have a long way to go ($24 million is the target – I only want $125k for myself). The site shows this quote:

“As long as I was able to service the characters with integrity and had enough money so that I wasn’t hampered, then I would love to return Serenity to TV. I love that universe; it continues and those characters live on. There could be a series, there could be a miniseries, there could be all sorts of things. I’m not ruling anything out. I’ll let it simmer for a while and see if anyone calls.” -Joss Whedon

Firefly (amz) and Serenity (amz) were awesome. I think we can help the cause by purchasing as many DVDs of the series and movie as possible and create a larger fan base. I have little optimism that the show or even another movie would ever come about. Here’s hoping! Of course, wouldn’t it be ironic if a second season started then was cancelled?

These are spoilers if you missed last night’s Lost episode. I thought I saw a single image in Eko’s encounter with the monster. Boy was I wrong! These are frame by frame grabs of the encounter. Is the monster somehow passing judgment?
I can’t get enough!
