Movies Vs. TV = DIFFERENT

i agree that the 2 are different but going from one to the other has worked in the past. X-Files managed it. the movie took place between seasons 5 and 6. the transition wasn't too jarring at all.

i can't think of any other examples but it does not seem impossible and if there's anyone smart enough to make it work, it'd be Joss Whedon.

Sacriledge.

Don't you realize we are addicts and need our fix. I must have new firefly content to consume. Even if it means going in a new direction. It doesn't matter if it's Simon turns into a reaver and eats Kaylee, I really really hope that isn't the new twist, but more content is needed.

Animé does it all the time, with movies happening "between the episodes" of a series.

Yup, nobody dies in their sleep in a Joss story, well, except Joyce maybe, sort of. Even if everybody dies, it's still a brave new world, and he'll give us new folk to love and obsess over.

Sometimes we forget that though he 'gave' us the Preshus, it's still his story, huh?

If Joss were reduced to writing Fruity Oaty commercials, he would have the CGI people insert subliminal story to induce Browncoat nirvana.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. I have had similar thoughts myself. After the movie, other stories might have to be flashbacks, and knowing what would be coming... might make it awkward.

Having said that- I LOVE these characters and it truly bereaves me that our time together was so short.

I do not have any answer, of course. I am glad for the stories we got, and I secretly hope for more... but I see your point.

These two say the points worth looking at imaleaf.

And I think you should learn manners before speaking in ways that can be interpreted as pickin' ruttin' thread fights.

I'm currently headed through Screen Studies at University, my excuse for looking at allthe angles. What's your excuse for the unprovoked attack based on one comment's worth of knowledge about me?

All I was saying in the beginning was that it can change *format*, not LOSE continuity(this isn't the comics industry "rebooting" here).

They CAN keep the events of Post-Serenity and still continue.
Granted, it won't exactly be "Firefly", but it'll be the same 'verse.

I agree whole-heartedly. They are two completely different mediums, requiring two different perspectives. For most people I know, the reason we fell in love with the show was because of the characters. The TV series is perfect for exploring characters, and a BDM is perfect for gettin' a heck of a lot of us together in one place. They are both useful, and they are both enthusiastically welcomed!!! More than welcomed... pined after! I carry a big gorram torch for this show!

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.

Kind of feels like when you really lose people; their pictures are on your walls, you remember the important things they said to you and how they changed your life, but they aren't around to make you laugh and cry and tell you new stories.

Yeah, I think we're all grieving a little. Important to remember that when somebody writes something here that grates,
dontcha think, hmmm?
