I'd prefer if Mr. Whedon took the project to the big screen. With a bigger budget and stronger marketing push, I'm sure the Firefly team could develop an incredible 2+ hour story that would attract a wider audience (and potentially lead to further big screen installments in the story arc).

David Lynch got away with it...Mulholland Drive was originally a pilot for ABC. The network balked & dropped the project but Lynch was able to cobble together parts of the pilot with new footage and a revamped storyline (that included a "conclusion" that was not conceived for the pilot) to produce (with a lot of help) a critical hit at the box office.

Like Lynch, with the right production partners, Joss could definitely retain creative control.

*sigh*
Mixed sadness and joy. Being black, female and having been an actress, I am happy for Gina that she snagged a regular part on a network TV show.
Nothin' like a paying network gig.
I'm sad that the cast of Firefly is 'breaking up'.
*sigh*
I'll just treasure my set of Firefly episodes that much more.

And I will go forth and tell the tale of Firefly to the un-initiated and explain to them what I mean when I say the word "gorram" and use the words "loh-seh" for "crap" and "shiny" instead of "cool".
: )
