I certainly hope it doesn't return to HBO, I'd need to be ordering it then. 
My dream would be it airs before/after Battlestar Galactica, which is a Universal production much like the Serenity film, so maybe they grabbed the TV rights as well when they made the movie and it sparks the show on the Scifi channel with Universals budget to let them make the same quality show if not better.

Of course it should continue, if possible; there's no such thing as too much of the BDHs!

A little clarification about the HBO thing.
I wasn't hoping that it would come to HBO so that we would have to pay to get it.
It's just that HBO is THE place on TV these days for engaging television shows, with great production values, and complex plots, and allowing a creator to really do something with a vision. If Firefly got the "Deadwood" treatment or "The Sopranos," well, damn, that would be a hell of a show!
That being said, I'm willing to bet a LOT of money that it will never happen.

Yes, damn it, it should continue. As everyone's been saying, there's still so much story to tell. Myself, I can think of like twenty more TV shows they could do. (Possibly exaggerating here, but I'm sure Joss can anyways.) I want it back. TV show, movie, I don't care.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

ok, from what i've either read here(meaning this whole site, not just this thread), or heard on the signal, the story told in the BDM, IS essentially what would have been season 2 of the series. Alan himself suggested killing off wash by the end of season 2, and Joss has never been afraid to kill off a character.
Personally here's my predictions for the sequal which i am calling
"Serenity 2: The Search for Monty's Mustache", or possibly
"Serenity 2: The search for Vera"
Simon & Kaylee - married,with a child, or one on the way.
and i leave the possibility that zoe is raising "Hoban jr" ( was preggers in the movie, she just don't know it yet )
oh and river is the new pilot.

Should it continue?!?
Gorram right it should!!!
I love the cast, the characters, the story, and the message that Joss has incorporated into his 'verse.
Ok, so maybe there will be no revival of the series (note I said maybe as I ain't never saying never when it comes to Joss & Firefly), but there are other mediums to tell the story in if 'Versal doesn't decide to make sequels. There are comics, novels, or direct to DVD movies. I would follow the story no matter how Joss & the Powers That Be decide to tell it.

Love Firefly/Serenity. I think it's Joss' best work to date, and I hope he finds a way to give us more. A Joss story always has such a big arc, and part of the fun for me is - where it will get to from where it is now. With Joss, I almost never manage to guess a new trajectory before it zooms up in front of my face, holy cow, the man is brilliant. He could make a story about a dirty sock, a piece of string, a cancelled stamp and a bottlecap that would have me impatiently waiting for the next installment.
I really really hope from the bottom of my greedy heart that Joss manages to find a way to give us more of this story. If that doesn't happen, I'm at least content that he will give us something equally brilliant, in an unusual setting, with characters I wish I could hang with. But wait, I have you people. That helps a lot.
I like where he brought the story. If It has to end here, I would prefer this to some kind of "sorry people, pack it up and leave now" kind of stopping place. Hopefully that won't happen much to Joss anymore, but the people who run television are notorious cowards. Gotta keep it dumb enough to attract the maximum # of Fruity Oaty customers, then gotta work on people's expectation that dumb is good, and so good for you.
On that note. Ha Ha. Really there's no place like Joss, and he will be working on something amazing. Whatever it turns out to be, I will love it.

...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.
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 think your wrong.......... movies and TV series are different. In the T.V. series it was much more everyday life for the characters. The movie was an event that changed the rest of their lives. The TV series was great I loved every minute, but I still think it would be a bad idea. Movies and TV are not interchangeable. I mean did you watch Inside Serenity, because you should. Listen to Joss he says it himself they are different. I never said TV was bad I am saying that I like the ruttin' track it is on and another change could cause a train reck. I think you should learn more about that which you wish to speak before you open your mouth. Movies Vs. TV = DIFFERENT

Like a friend recently pointed out to me, Jayne once said something to the effect of "Nothing buys bygones like cold, hard coin." Or I dreamt that line up.
Either way, I think it should continue. If the studios figure out that we'll pay for it as long as they'll make it, it'll continue. There's so much left to be told.
Grabbing another quote here, in discussing Firefly, Orson Scott Card mentioned that "TV shows are all about questions. Movies are all about answers." Suffice it to say, we don't have all the answers yet.
If they don't resurrect Firefly itself, I'd still enjoy a possible spin-off show set in the 'Verse. The Misadventures of Badger, maybe? Hell, even a different cast of characters entirely, a la the Star Trek serieses.

Might cause a train wreck with some other writer, for Joss I think it would be more like CD/concert tour/live TV concert/CD/...different from one another, sure, but all interesting and exciting when the musicians are this brilliant.
