I have never seen a episode of Firefly...My boyfriend who is a huge fan, dragged me to see the movie last week. I couldnt get enough of it. I LOVED IT!

I borrowed his DVD set and have watched each episode at least 25 times. and still want to watch it again.

so yes i do think it can continue,for severval reasons. one,for new fans who are just discovering the series,it makes u want more and more 2- the way the story lines are done,i think there are soooo many other adventures to be had.

I was really upset that the killed off Wash. LOVED HIM. and killed off book!

If a sequel is written by Joss, yes its very much his baby, otherwise no.
I have this nightmare where, a couple of years down the line some studio exec turns round and says "Hey this thing made us a bit of money, its selling well on DVD and it has a good fanbase so LETS MAKE A SEQUEL."
Joss is either busy with another project or, worse still he turns in a script, they dont like it, fire him and bring in somebody else to finish it.
What we end up with is a by the numbers, Search for Spock style script, "Hey Wash was a popular character, lets keep the franchise going and BRING HIM BACK."
And the final plot is a caper movie where the crew clones him and goes looking for some secret Alliance brain scan technology so they can transfer his memories in to the new body.

I would love nothing more than to see more Firefly episodes... IF it had the entire cast (in other words, the changes are NOT WELCOME IN THE LEAST!!!).

I'm one who gets involved in movies and tv shows because of the characters and their relationships more than for the culture and/or technology they present. Firefly was perfectly cast with a perfect set of characters and IMHO, they are all needed.

If we can't get everyone, then I'm up in the air. maybe continue, maybe not. Without the original crew, it's not really Firefly.

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?
