Formspring Question #97-Catching Fireflies in Jars Edition

What do you think of the effort to buy the rights to Firefly for Nathan fillion?
I think the Browncoats are chasing rainbows.

What Nathan Fillion said was that if he won $300 million in the California lottery, the first thing he would do is buy the rights to Firefly and make new episodes. Author Patrick Rothfuss, who not so coincidentally has a new novel coming out this week he wants to promote, wrote an open letter to Fillion suggesting the two should pair up to assemble financiers to buy the rights.

It is not happening, folks. It sounds way too much like that failed effort to save Enterprise six years ago which raised upwards of $ 1 million--a paltry sum considering how much the series cost to produce.

Fillion was throwing a bone to fans. He is on a hit show now and has no time for another. Castle earns solid ratings. It is going to be around awhile. Rothfuss is trying to attach his name to a fan campaign in order to promote his new novel. It is as simple as that.
