Hell yeah this needs to continue. The story ain't done yet. We have had a few of our heroes die. They died to show us that the stakes were just that much higher.

So yeah I want to know what comes next. And if it makes some exec at Fox TV consider honorable suicide I will feel a bit avenged.

I would welcome a new season started before the movie and even a sequel. I think the whole shows cancelation was more bureaucratic then up to the fans. If The Crew continue to sail the verse then this time the show would be here to stay. Hey they re started family guy so yes theres still hope for every browncoat and mudder alike.

We won't know much about World Gross for awhile. It's pretty much only opened in Australia and the UK so far.

Here are the figures that I've seen so far:

US (17 days): $22,144,000
Aus (17 days): $2,610,876 Aus = $1,959,035 US
UK (10 days): £1,860,000 = $3,266,093 US

So, the worldwide totals I see estimated so far are:

$27,369,128

Yeah, like it's been said, lots more story to tell.
I predict more movies as the dvd sales will be good. Joss delivers an incredible product at a reasonable price.

Yes it should continue for three reasons.

1) We want to see as much of these characters as we can.
2) The sad events which occured will be have greater resonance if the story continues.
3) Since all nine actors are signed, We'd really like to see what Joss has in store for two of them in particular.

I think bringing it back to TV would be the wrong thing to do. I mean it would be kinda great to think a new one each week, but I don't think it would work. The speed of events in a movies are addictive, not to mention how it truly is an event, an epic event that you travel with them on. I love the TV show and would be happy either way but I think all will flow smoother if we just keep moving forward instead of trying to take a step back.

I think it should. I see a lot of people saying that Serenity ends where it ought to, but it opens up all kinds of doors. As long as there's an Alliance and a ship called Serenity, there will always be stories to tell. It ends when one or the other is no more...

Who says Movie events to TV events are a step back? The only major differences are:

One TV season: Smaller budget, tighter schedule, more airtime total.

One movie: Bigger budget, less-tight schedule, less airtime total.

Apart from these differences, events are interchangeable, hell, even continuable.

If you wanted to make people REALLY focus with a fandom, you could even go:

Season 1 + 2 = Years one and two.
Movie 1= Year three
Season 3, 4 +5 = Years four, five, six
Movie 2= Year seven
(e.t.c.)

You can switch mediums, but timelines are still continuable.

I don't doubt that there are more stories to tell.

Personally, I would like it to return to TV. Have you noticed how the better stories now are on TV rather than in movies (in general...)? This is a direct flip from, say, the 70s when TV sucked and movies were awesome (in general...). If you told someone in the 70s that you can tell more expansive and intricate stories on TV than in movies, they would have thought you were crazy. Joss (and a bunch of other shows) have shown that it's true.

My fantasy? It returns to TV... on HBO.

In reality, I suspect that this is the last (non-comic) installment of our BDH's adventures that we'll see.

Something tells me, even if it's a now-and-then DVD-movie gig, that the comraderie's there for the actors and crew to WANT to keep working together, even at base wage.
