well I would prefer that 'Serenity' lead to the TV show being revived a la Star Trek....
but of course we could always go the Star Wars route:

after three great movies Joss could come back 10-20 years later with Prequels
to dismantle his own fan base....
He can show how the idylic happy people were beaten down by the Alliance
and how the cheerful care free childish Mal became Sargent Reynolds
(too bad he doesn't need to breath through a mask)

What you'd really need is a stereotypical clumsy Jamaican who's life Mal's tutor saves during battle. Of course Mal would have start very young, and then age dramatically while everyone else stayed the same age for this to work effectivly.
We need to get rid of this pesky coherent story thing, not important for films I think, and replace it with big special effects, and merchandising, always the merchandising.

I'll take more Firefly/Serenity any way I can get it. Of course series allows more time for character, but movies is BIG. Either way, as long as she's still in the air.
My actual first choice would be monthly TV movies, the best of both worlds.

Serenity 6: Badger's New Suit
This will be the best one. I have that feeling.

Yup, that will be a fan favorite for sure.

But how about Serenity 9: Jayne loves Kaylee
Jayne and Simon battle it out for Kaylee's affection only to find a shocking truth revealed.
Serenity 14: Overdue Book.
When the Serenity crew take a job on Daxvey, a planet on which it's settlers believe to be haunted, Book goes missing. air date: 10/29/07

It depends on how the third one ends. If it ends with a sense of closure we may feel it's enough.

But my gut says that since the intention was for us to see these characters in a weekly series, I think we'll always feel robbed.

If we get three movies at roughly 2 hours each, then thats roughly 21 hours of Mal and crew which is a lot less the the roughly 110 we got of ANGEL and the 144 we got of BUFFY.

But I seem to remember Joss saying something to the effect of now that he's gotten the taste of FIREFLY/SERENITY on the big screen he would be reluctant to take it back to the small screen.

So I think we may have to be satisfied with 3.

And also with SERENITY and (hopefully) sequels and WONDER WOMAN on his dance card, he's going to be tied up for a while. And during that time he'll probably be developing his own movie projects and/or getting other offers to direct movies.

We may never see Joss heavily involved in series television again.

That's my personal favourite!!
But how about the final one?
Serenity 22: Reynolds Wrap.
After terraforming and reclaiming Earth That Was, Mal is crowned King of all Londinium, and gets to wear a shiny hat.
