How much do you like Firefly?

Dunno if this is true or not, I might have even dreamed it but I swear I saw this somewhere. Maybe someone already posted something about this, if so my bad.
Anyways, apparently Nathan Fillion was like 'if I win the lottery I'll buy the rights to Firefly and get it running again' so a ton of fans are like trying to raise money or something to help him.
I believe there are like sites where you can donate and fund raising balls have been run.
I doubt this will work and hopes will probably be crushed because I'm sure a shitload of money is needed.
Despite this I thought I'd let you duders know about it anyway as I've seen a few fans of the show here and there on the site.
So... what would you do to resurrect Firefly? (Dunno if I used italics correctly here)

I love Firefly so much, it's definitely in my top 5 TV shows of all time, at least. However, I thought the movie was pretty mediocre, so I don't know if resurrecting the series could ever make it live up to the original. Also, I don't care what anyone says, I think Nathan Fillion is awesome on Castle.

Considering there's shows like The Wire, The Shield, Lights Out, Oz, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, In Treatment, Rescue Me (Early seasons, anyway), Justified, Mad Men, Rubicon, Homicide: Life on the Street, Battlestar Galactica, Deadwood, John From Cincinnati, Sons of Anarchy, Damages, Treme and many, many more in the last decade alone, it makes me wonder how Firefly is in people's favourite shows of all time.

" Dollhouse was pretty shitty and so were the Firefly comics. Also, the cast has moved onto other shit like Castle and Fillion's got "fat middle aged guy" face now. So maybe its better just being some posthumous thing that hipsters idolize. Bringing it back risks staining the legacy, like with Buffy. And Angel. And really, every Whedon show other than Firefly. Granted, a small small very small handful of Angel's last episodes were good but Spike is such a bitch character he ruins anything he touches. "

I love Firefly, still I think it's been too long to resurrect it now. Because of how the movie went you would have to let it take place between the series and the movie or pretend the movie never happened. Still everyone has gotten older so that would be strange. Too bad that there were no billionaire fans of Firefly.

Im sorry, I loved the last season of Angel. "

I don't think that Firefly is one of the best shows ever, but I do think that it is a great sci-fi series with some likable characters and a deep universe. I've accepted the loss, however.

I like Firefly so much I've made a special pact with my best friend; if either one of us dies, the other will stage it to look like a suicide brought on by Firefly's cancellation.

I enjoyed Serenity quite a bit, even though I have still have to finish watching the series.

I feel Firefly's quality is overestimated.  It had a lot of potential but the story never had the time to go anywhere.  I don't feel that, judging it only by what it actually was, it was that great a series.

It's never going to happen, nor would I necessarily want it to.  Serenity resolved all the biggest things left open after the first (only) season ended.  Sure they could figure out a way to keep it going, but who knows how successful that would be.  I like the way it ended.  
 

I'm a big fan.  I'd like to see more.  But hoping for more seems like a useless exercise.

Whedon's great with characters and dialogue, but the man just can't handle a plot.
 
Why aren't you posting this on Screened?

Not at all.  
 
I watched about half the episodes and just couldn't get into it. I really don't understand what's supposed to be so appealing about this show.

Every plant has been terraformed into the midwest so cowboy law could be evoked. Don't ask how a seemingly primitive future learned to terraform, just go with it. Joss Whedon wants to you ignore the exposition because the exposition only exists to set up the show, then he wants you to pay attention to every frame of the show. Its easier to digest when you're used to how Whedon rolls. "

Yeah, I love Firefly and all, but keep it in the past.  Serenity and the various comics have tried to wrap up some of the bigger plot points, and there's just no need to ruin it by trying to bring it back.  It would have been great if they had made more episodes, but in retrospect it's good that they went out on a high note.

Nathan Fillion's twitter:  
"It's beautiful to dream of more Firefly, but PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY. Just keep being great Browncoats, which you are!" 
 
Not sure how one would continue Firefly anyways.  **Spoilers** I'm not willing to see the continues adventures of Mal Reynolds with Wash and Shepard dead.

10/10
 
The movie though...6/10

He also said on twitter that he doesn't want anyone to send him money.

Patrick Rothfuss the writer of "The Name of the Wind", who also has his second book coming out in a couple weeks stated on his blog that if he made enough money from his next book he would contribute with Fillion to get Firefly back. Rothfuss is an enormous Joss Whedon and Firefly fan. It would be crazy to see a bunch of people come together and bring Firefly back.
