Since Joss collaborated in the making of Titan AE, would anyone agree that AE is Firefly with aliens and a different timeline? There are enough similarities in both stories that one can assume that both are written by the same peeps. Just an observation with probably a few holes. Both are amazing.

Titan! Yay! I loved that movie when it was in theatres. Had no clue Whedon had a hand in it until just recently.

I disagree entirely and in all possible ways. If I could find a more redundant way to say that I would.

I like the show … movie … thing. But I can not see any ties to Firefly worth talking of.

Firefly is about people who left the world willingly, and have many home-worlds to call their own.
A.E. is about a race (humanity) that has been shattered in large part due to their total lack of a home-world.

Firefly is about surviving.
A.E. is about saving the world.

So on. It’s just a completely different dynamic in my mind.

In Firefly, I think humans had to leave Earth. Isn't that why they refer to it as "Earth that was"?

Yes. In Firefly, the resourses of the Earth were depleted to such an extent that the humans had to leave and terraform other planets to make them as Earth-like as possible.

Titan AE--while a good movie(IMHO), that I like very much-- is more about bringing the devistated, hunted, and unwillingly scattered humans to a new home.

There really aren't that many similarities, besides the space/spaceship/Joss connections. Although, some of the characters are similar, now that I think about it. Preed is kind of like Jayne, Stith is a Zoe-esque character, and Gune is kind of a Kaylee-River mesh. Huh.

Sorry. Didn't mean for that to be posted twice more than necessary.

IIRC: when asked at a Convention if there was a creative thread that ran from Titan AE to Firefly, Whedon replied that he wasn't sure there was a creative thread that ran through Titan AE

While very flawed, I love Titan: AE.
My favourite line was: "Intelligent guard, didn't see that one coming." and that's gotta be all Joss! Didn't know it at the time I bought it, but enough of Joss' imput survived on Titan to make it a much better than average 'toon.

And the dvd is soooo pretty.
