Quote:Firefly stories should be retold over and over, kind of like stories about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Dozens of people have played those characters. Firefly deserves a reboot more than the two Holmes mysteries on TV: Sherlock and Elementary.

I'd be happy to see more about the other students at River's academy, but I agree that I don't want them to be clones (even not literally).

I would also love a spinoff for Inara. if you remember the episode Out Of Gas they hinted that Inara might have been running from something and that's why she shipped out with Serenity. They never really told us what happened or the events that caused Inara to ship out with the crew of Serenity. We know it's not Alliance trouble because she returned to the training house on Sinhon which is in Alliance controlled space so it's not Alliance trouble. I just would've liked a prequel story for Inara similar to what Shepard Book got with Shepard's Tale.
I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

That's true! Some background on Inara could show us a whole different side of the 'Verse. I could be down for a pre-Firefly Inara spin-off. It would make it hard to do cameos though...

It would be amazing to see that even if it's just in a comic book. I mean we get so much background on other characters but Inara is Mal's lover I mean that's pretty huge. Shepard was big too because they hinted so much at his life in Firefly (when he handed the Alliance his ident card) and then in Serenity when he told Mal that he didn't need to tell him his life story and he kept it a secret. It was such a big thing that they needed to expand on it and they did a great job with Shepard's Tale but I feel something with Inara needs to be done even if it's just a one issue thing. TBH i'm okay with the show being dead and that we only get comic book series to go with. The comics are great because they are made for the fans and since we know what happened with Firefly and Serenity they can continue the story and move on without having to re-explain everything. With a new series it will either have to be a reboot to be successful or they will have figure out a way to include new people who have never seen the original show or the movie. Serenity did that with it's opening talking about the war but even that wasn't enough because it never really elaborated on River and Simon. The film was made for the fans not for the regular audience, it was made for browncoats. If they redid Firefly it would have to be done in such a way that i'm not sure is even possible. Personally i'm really happy with the comic books. Though Fox has hinted at Firefly coming back and they never ever ever hint at anything. In Sleepy Hollow Ichabod fights Reavers and other Fox shows have put in Firefly hints. So it's possible Fox may look at doing a mini series which Tim Minear has said he really wants to do 100%
