They tried...Nathan Fillion has to ask them to stop. Apparently he wasn't that serious.

[mzmegana]

It's been done actually, until someone in Nathan Fillion's family asked them to stop.

Haha that was my reaction when my friend told me about it! It was the first year so kinda under the radar, but extremely awesome for a first year con. Hope they continue with it in the future.

I would shit rainbows everywhere if Jewel Staite played The Wasp in the new Avengers movie.

Hey drunken ramblings about unrealistic future plans do come true some times! I hope this is one of them!!!

so, ok, why haven't people just come up with the dough? why not use a service like kickstarter? i'm not rich, and i'm not fan enough to give two shits about conventions or fan forums or whatever, but i'd gladly donate a couple hundred bucks toward a firefly reboot. and there seems to be legions of die-hards out there, so why is this a problem? if the "community" is as large as everyone claims it is, why not just fucking get this done?

Seriously the last 5 seconds made this video just even more awesome.

[flanmancan]

please bring this back it would be a great investment and people are still finding out about the show and the science channel still plays firefly so you could all make lots of money doing this

@TheMightyCookieShow Yeah, my goal in life is to make enough money to buy Firefly.

[Heroyoui3]

@mzmegana why did they asked them to stop?

[TheMightyCookieShow]

@SmallChild72 I would buy it myself and bring it back if I had the money. I wouldn;t buy it for Nathan though, I would buy it for myself for sure.
