I would prefer a tv series myself, just can't get enough. And if Mal didn't include River in jobs, he might have to have someone check his brainpan for emptiness.

Well I loved how Mal takes River on a job in Serenity to use her "ability" to see danger coming. So River having the psychic trait and the "Can take out a room in 3 min" trait, she is almost unstopable lol

I don't think I'm the only one hoping for a continuation of this amazing story. I'm addicted, and I'll admit I've been craving a Firefly fix for quite a while.
The movie did a lot, but did it do enough? I think instead, the Sci-Fi channel reruns of the original series are doing more to promote the story. The movie was almost too intense for people new to the series, as my friends testified after I dragged them there.

I hate to say it, but with the disappointing box office success of Serenity... we may not see a lot more of our beloved crew. Let's just hope things pick up in the next few weeks, to prove to Universal and Fox that Firefly Fans are still here, and still waiting for more.

Come on... face the facts people!

Another two hour movie wouldn't satisfy anyones long term Firefly/Serenity needs. The moment the sequel comes out, there will be people here saying, "just one more sequel."

The smart Browncoat will be lobbying for a new series... preferably on Sci-Fi. The Sci-Fi Channel has a lot of shows I consider to be pure television pollution... They'd be complete idiots not to take a show like Firefly under their wing... especially when there's a huge fan-base already established.

Plus I've heard plenty about the cast themselves talking about how they'd rather return to television than get another movie green-lit.

Look at Star Trek... it bounced back from a shitty first feature film, and struck gold with The Next Generation... Firefly/Serenity could have a bright future ahead of it on TV...

If Joss is able to bring Firefly back as a TV series there are a number of things that need "fixing" from the movie. I'd be tempted to suggest Joss just pretends the movie never happenned!

First of all bring back Book and Wash.

Next a rationalization needs to be implemented as to why River isn't used constantly as the "super psychic" and "uber ninja". I like her development as a pilot but seriously the movie went too far with her abilities (now that Mal can talk to her reasonably).

No matter what the issues and problems though I'd dearly love to have Firefly back as an ongoing series.

I agree, I would much rather have a new season on TV than another film. It would have a whole lot more story in it and that is what i want. But dont get me wrong, I still loved the BDM!!!
