    Browncoat produced show based on Firefly

    Into The Black is a new show made by fans. Production is based in Vancouver.
    More info at their site.
    Into The Black

    Here is Joss' response to this(from Whedonesque.com):

    I hate to have to do this, but this has become a legal matter.

    Sirs --

    "According to article 16C-12 of the M.P.A., no entertainment (intended for television, radio or internet broadcast) based upon existing licensed intellectual properties may in any way be allowed or approved of by creator(s) of said intellectual property. Further, upon notification of such unauthorized entertainment, said creator(s) is in no way legally sanctioned to comment upon same. Creator(s) shall in no way refer to said unauthorized 'show' or 'site' as "wicked cool" or "*****in'." Examination of the ship (herein designated "Samsara") shall not be in any way legally awesome, and creator(s) shall not in any contractually binding way grin. The perpetrators of this entertainment shall not have fuzzy feelings, nor be, under penalty of fine or imprisonment, all up in themselves. Dag, yo."

    I hate to throw cold water on a well-meaning enterprise like this, but that's the law. Meanwhile, I in no way eagerly await the first episode or think it's about damn time this universe was expanded just a little bit more. However, I think I can safely make one or two suggestions to help. One: Have the characters get into all sorts of shenanigans on a regular basis. Two: Always remember that the integrity of your universe's reality must be maintained unless you think of something cool. Three: Have Chekhov get really old.

    Thank you for understanding my precarious legal position on this. I wish I could be more supportive, but I am a machine. An android cannot cry, except that nancy-boy The Vision, who, let me tell you, you don't wanna see "Terms of Endearment" with that guy, you can't even hear the movie.

    Sincerely, The JossWhedonbot, model 421-C-aplhadog-12(defective).

      The whole thing is Joss in sarcastic mode, if you read the legal part it has many words and phrases that shouldn't be in a legal document.

        Really? And here I though "Wiked Cool" was a a perfectly acceptable legal term
        Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

          Man do I wish Joss wrote all legal disclaimers. Then I would have a reason to read the back of my credit card bill and question the 30% interest offer.

                I know i "WILL" not be watching this when it comes out. I also think the ship "is" not "BAD @$$" or anything like that.

                  I think the Firefly universe is a very interesting one that could use a little more delving. I'm interested, but I'd rather Whedon use his universe for a show again instead of fans.

                      Certainly looks cool. And, since when was "*****ing" not a legal term?

                            Ok, shameless bump...kinda.

                            Looks like the project is moving forward. I've chatted with the people who are responsible for it online and they are a very nice group. They've been doing a bunch of filming lately, despite being kicked out of their last "studio." They are now rebuilt and better than ever. I would expect a second episode soon after the first, seeing as how they're doing the "Firefly thing" and mixing up their filming/airing schedule. LOL

                            I can't wait for this, it should be very excellent!

                              Hey, that looks so cool! It'll be so interesting to see the show. Does anyone know, or have a link, to how it'll be available to the public to see? I just had a quick squiz at the site, but I couldn't see it. Would it be something for people to download? Or would it be in DVD, or what? If anyone knows.

                              Joss is so funny with his legal document. I agree with darman that Joss should write all legal documents!
