I saw the movie opening weekend because of the positive reviews and loved it, bought the series and love it as well and the more I watch the series, the more I wonder if it would be good to continue the story.

I mean, a movie sequel seems unlikley concerning the numbers (is a world gross known yet at this point? It's earned about half back from the US alone + eventual DVD sales) And everywhere I browse, a series would seem more likely.

But after the events in the film, do you think the chemistry would still be the same? Is it maybe best to leave it at what it has accomplished as everything is fantastic the way it is.

I'm not sure, it pains me to become addicted to such a short series because of the Cancellation kings known as Fox (see Family Guy's re-start season opener for list of cancelled shows) and am not sure if it's a good idea they restart it, but naturally would like to see the characters again.

So the point of my post being, what does eveyone else think? Should it even be continued or are the changes welcomed to you?

Certainly it could continue. It just might not be the same. That is not necessarily a bad thing.

Despite the current clamor from the fans about a return in series form, I doubt that will happen. A spin-off series might happen, but a resurrected "Firefly?"--Nope, won't ever come to pass.

I would love sequel films or a new (spin-off) series. But for that to happen, the studio has to feel it's profitable. Which means those Serenity DVDs will have to sell incredibly well--and I mean incredibly well before the studio will think of continuing the 'verse in any form.

I have not yet gotten my fill of these characters, of their stories, of this universe Joss has created. I want more! I would watch Firefly until every last character was killed off.

I'm that big a fanboy.

Would I like it to continue? -- Yes.

Should it continue -- ??

The BDM was open enough for a sequel or continuation of some sort, but a story has been told, and I'm just glad that Joss got to tell it. I certain would not mind more!

It would be "interesting" (more like "strange") to see what the chemistry between the characters would be like post-BDM.

Interesting thread.

Of course it should go on. To put it simply, it is a good story, a captivating story. There are far too few of those around these days. It is my opinion that Dylan Thomas said it best;
"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light!"

I think it can and should continue in some form. If there is anything Joss' fans should have learned over the years, the man can create stories and characters. Joss has proved this over the 7 seasons of Buffy and 5 seasons of Angel, both shows went through a big cast change at one time or another and the shows still went on to be just as entertaining (some would argue they even got better). If Firefly would have been given 5 seasons, I'm almost positive the changes from the BDM would have happened eventually anyway.

Nice quote; have to remember that one.

Of course the show should go on. I don't see how "the story has been told" (as somebody else said). *A* story has been told, but there are many more stories going on in that 'verse, not just some unsuccessful pax experiments that happened 12 years previously. And as much as I liked Wash and Book, two characters didn't make this show and their deaths are no reason not to continue.

If a sequel/second season turn out not to be as good then so be it, but the fear of not living up to the first season shouldn't be a reason not to try. "Oh that was a brilliant show! Let's hope they don't make any more so that they can't spoil it!" is a pretty retarded argument.

"So, err, what stage of grieving is this?"
"It's the goofy stage!"

Definitely.

I think it's far from finished. If this is the last we get, then fine. It felt like a season closer; it wrapped up a lot of things...

But, you still have

Select to view spoiler:

How Zoe will deal with losing Wash, what the deal was with Book, how River's going to do - she still schizophrenic, or was it brought on simply by the Miranda stuff, I wonder? - Kaylee/Simon, of course, and, the biggest of all... what happens when the Alliance's proverbial s*** hits the fan after what happened on Miranda was revealed to pretty much everyone. The Operative already said they were weakening, didn't he? I predict a second civil war, personally, though I would have expected one eventually, for very few totalinarian regimes have managed to control huge terriotories for all that long. ;)

In short, it's a good stopping point, but it really still leaves a lot of questions unanswered and possibilities unaddressed. So heck ya, it could be continued. ;)
