I'm well aware that Serenity would have to make a certain amount of money to fully justify a second movie or a new series...but if they should choose to make either just from the sheer support of the fan base, which one would be better?

On one hand, they could make another movie and potentially end everything in a two hours span, but dazzle us even more with the greatness that is the Firefly universe.

However, I have to say a new series would be nice. For one, since we lost Wash and Book, we all have a sore spot that needs to be somewhat healed. So introduction of some new cast would be great. Not to mention get some closure on Chloe's grief. I'd personally like to see the ongoing conflict between what's left of the Alliance and everyone else. A new movie just wouldn't allow for such an in depth story.

Or maybe both...

Since Wash and Book were lost in the movie would'nt be ok to keep them in the series?

1) SPOILER!

2) I have always thought that TV is the better medium for Firefly/Serenity. It has always been about the story, dialogue, etc. over a longer timeframe. I'll take both, though!

Also LOVED the BDM, and for those who haven't seen it yet,

3) SPOILER!

You might want to edit the title for the post...

What the Puck!? (Sorry, couldn't help myself!)

I can't believe you guys didn't think to announce that there were spoilers in this thread. I'm so pissed. I've been waiting for a break in my work schedule so that I can go see Serenity...and avoiding spoilers like the plague...but geeking out on the web to feed my jones.

Way to go. Thanks. I think I hate you.

Problem with new series is that Fox gets first dibs. At 1-2 million per ep it would be cheaper than a new movie, and it might make more money. Currently Season 1 (like the sound of that) is #5 on Amazon, was #4, 5 star rating with 1700 reviews.

No, the movie took place six months after the Firefly espisode "Objects in space," so basically what happens in the movie essentially would have happened in the series too.

I prefer another season to another movie. I'll take 20 hours of content over 2 hours any day. The slower telling of the story via television seems to fit this universe better. I wouldn't mind another feature film, but why not give us a couple of TV seasons between films.

Overwhelmingly a return to being a TV series would be preferred. Even with the damage the movie has done I think a series would be loved by almost all the fans of Firefly.

All they need to do is work out the financial issues with Fox.

Yeah I hope they do a sequel and continue the series, but either way River still would have to be the deadliest weapon aboard Serenity (and probably most the verse lol) and have a bigger role when it comes to Mal and Zoe doing job's.
