Quote:I know EMBERS has already replied to this, but I feel like going further. I have heard several people complain about the lack of Blue Sun in the movie. So here's a quote from Joss: "Blue Sun appears, but the Blue Sun corporation as a concept is not a major theme of the movie." This seems pretty much the same as the series (so far), so I don't see how people could be upset by it.

This may be a silly thought (due to me not knowing anything about how the entertainment industry works) but I was wondering if the F*x contract only applied to the domestic US.
It might be legal for Joss, through Universal, to produce more Firefly for broadcast in Canada, or the UK, or Australia that wouldn't be covered by the original F*x contract. Then you could do the whole DVD release of the season through an international subsidiary for those of us in the US who want our fix (of course, we would be watching the online rips of the show anyway as soon as it aired - but this wouldn't impact on DVD sales at all). They might still be able to do all the production work in Southern California so the planets would still look the same (although BC is beautiful as well).
Of course, whether or not this is possible has little to do with the probability of it taking place. Just a pipe dream is all 
.
Now to get back to the bottom line: Must do everything in my power to make Serenity a success. Must do everything in my power to make Serenity a success. Must do everything in my power to make Serenity a success.
Okay. I'm centered again.

Fair enough. Yet I feel the Blue Sun angle, and its implied symbiotic relationship with the Alliance was a significant theme that kept occuring in the series, especially regarding River. One of the hooks that really drew me to the show. We could debate "major" until the cows come home, are slaughtered for beef and are eaten as Salisbury steak at Dennys. Majorish for me, not so much for you, and I can accept that as reasonable differences in interpretation.
I'm still looking forward to seeing Serenity. There's so much to anticipate, even if I feel JW has perhaps elected, for what I'm certain are because of many realistic factors that have little to do with "selling out", to tone down or possibly eliminate a plot line that happens to intrigue me. There's a lot left to like in terms of character struggles, dialogue, humour, etc.
I'm a fan, eh? Else I wouldn't be here.

This space for rent. All proceeds go to production costs of FireFly.
Well, in the pilot episode Serentiy, Mal's pointedly seen kissing the cross (necklace). Seems to me that's a Christian symbol, which disappears when we are brought to the present plot line.
But what do I know? Maybe JW's intent in season 6 was to have Malcolm Reynolds rediscover his faith in God, via whatever church or religious organisation drew him to his faith in the first place. Or Book has Mal see the light. Whatever.
Or maybe not. Kinda moot, now. Maybe in the third movie we'll discover God's a Browncoat!
(Please don't flame me. I do respect others their beliefs. Doesn't mean I have to share them).

I like the way you think, keep saying more good things like that!!

What are you talking about? Mal changed his name to Caleb and became a priest on Buffy in season 7. He MUST have changed his 'tude toward God. Right? Right.

Joss closed down his television production company. Enough said.

God is a Browncoat! I saw him on Joan of Arcadia all the time, last season. This one, not so much.
(Actually, this season has kinda sucked. What's up with that, Barbara Hall?)
Mal believes in God, that he or she exists. He feels betrayed, though. Someone who hates God that much isn't an athiest, after all. I wish they had done more with religion than they did, and more with Book, for that matter.
