Dude, smell the coffee. The continuity is completely hosed. Joss made a movie designed to make money.

Okay. But then again, no. Does this sound at all like Joss? Joss then man who lives to make television, a medium that curiously he says he cannot stand to watch? A man who... has a habit of spending many many millions of dollars on things that won't ever make a dime. Joss does not know how to make money, well okay, he probably does, but he doesn't want to. Joss likes to spend money. Serenity was designed to create new firefly interest while losing money. I think it's two for two.

Anyway, I expect fill in, but also future future story. He's up for maybe 1/2 a season of past. Maybe a full season if he really draws it out.

Well for starters lets talk crazy. I mean what if a Season Two was made, would you be really interested in watching something you already know the end too. The excitement would be gone, because you know none of the characters are going to die or get together, for that matter. If there is a miracle and a season two is made, I dont think it should be made as a prequel to the movie, obviously many people would not be interested in watching, since they already know the end to it. I believe that if there was by a small miracle another season It should be made after the movie, not before. That way it brings new fans and the show would not get cancelled as the last time.

After he put a nice, thick Buffystake through the heart of something we cherished ?

I think Joss should just leave it be, there's no reason to further mutilate what was a decent series, and I do mean that, since I can't watch the DVDs as of late without going "WTF were you thinking Joss!!??" a couple times during each episode.

How bout we beg him NOT to make a sequel, ehe ?
Please ?

Let us have our 14 episodes of magic, and go mangle something else, k ?

Whew... sorry, hadda get that off my chest, folks.

Okay, I agree somewhat about the already knowing who lives and who dies. I prefer definitely a Serenity forward moving season 2, perhaps with occassional flashbacks to what happened in the time gap.

I'm going to kill them all. That oughtta distract 'em.

Oh please. Spare me your holier-than-thou attitude. Serenity was what it should've been: it essentially started where Firefly season one left off (remember, Inara was going to leave and River had discovered and started to control her powers) and built from there. I suppose you would've preferred two old episodes stapled together and shown on the big screen, ala the Star Trek: The Next Generation "movies"?

Er...you DO realise that Joss Whedon created this 'verse and he can do whatever he damn well pleases with it, right?

Just to reference some of the posts above mine...

Me and my girlfriend have just come to a decision to the problem at hand.

She says that if they were to do anything at all, there should be a series that follows on from where it left off, still telling the story of the movie but longer and slower and in more detail.

In our oppinion, the movie was too rushed and in some parts, just went for a buck in some places.

We also had the idea of the movie and series not coming into contact with each other whatsoever, in other words, season two (If there is to be one) should carry on without hinting to the movie.

The movie, as stated by loads of people and websites and possibly Joss himself, is a stand-alone project that, in lamens terms, is a very abbrieviated version of the show.

Now, im also against multiple continuities, especially being a follower of the Star Trek franchise for years until Voyager and Enterprise came and Fng destroyed it all.

So im all for continuity violations...

Well, not major, but still, if its done really really reallly really really exceptionally well, then its ok.

Either prequal, sequal, continuing etc etc im not bothered unless, as ive said, its done well.

But asside from that, i have no problem taking them both as seperate projects. To a certain extent yes, i am bothered, but im not a nit picking fan boy who follows EVERY LITTLE GORRAM THING as close as possible.

I could be lying though

But...

Yes, theres always a big BUT....

The movie, the way we both see it, is Joss' 'Kick-in-the-gorram-mouth' to the dumb ass tv execs at fox who shafted his show after just a handfull of episodes.

So, we both had that theory about 15 minutes ago while looking at the boards, were supposed to be researching stuff for college, but were taking advantage of their internet.

Its just a theory we both had, not that wed like this to happen cos it would be really really confusing, so please, take it all with a pinch of salt.

From Chris and Nicole

Oh yeah, just forgot.

Joss told me to pass this onto you guys at the Fox network...

I have a bit of difficulty thinking about a Season Two when Season One wasn't even finished.I realize that the movie provides what amounts to a Season One finale. I am thinking of the British approach to TV series where they will film a limited number of episodes, do a few TV movies, and after a year or so film another Series. It's all a bit eccentric but given the subject matter of "Firefly" it might just work.

I am thinking of the British series "Red Dwarf" and "Chef!". While "Red Dwarf" didn't go the TV movie route both series followed the stop-start pattern and an American analogue would be "The Sopranos".

Well, i followed Red Dwarf for a while until i kinda lost it due to other commitments, and yeas, this is a prime example.

Red dwarf would do two seasons in a year, say.
Then, about two years down the line, it would return again with a much shorter season.

So, even if the first season wasnt finnished, dont worry about that, just do a feature length episode to kick of season 2 that kinda covers the end of season one.
Also, if the show is limited to say 14 episodes a seasons, it wont look out of place with the first run by being out numbered.
