Um, I think it's the 'post holer' quote - not a bad play on the phrase, IMHO :)
But as for the delay for a sequel, it hit me the other day we all made it THREE YEARS before the movie after the first show airdate. If we can wait three years for Serenity, we can wait three more for Serenity Two by Two. Five is a bit steep, though...

This is all a GREAT idea!!! It is what the Star Trek fans did in the 60's to keep the show alive. I will do my part. This show needs to go on. Soon. MG

And look how that went in 66/67! Extended series to films to spinoffs...of course, let's overlook Paramount's greed and overmilking for now, shall we?
(Took them 30 odd years anyway. Shame the 40th and 50th anniversaries might be more memorial than celebration with that fandom...I USED to be part of it until ST:Nemesis killed my passion for it!)

"Hey, support it best you can! I believe supporting this as far as we can will get Serenity restarted. Right now seems VERY "Out Of Gas", and the Fans are Mal. We need to get her running to get the Big Damn Button pushed."

Hehe, you really think it is a clever play on words? Oh well, each to their own. I thought he probably misheard and misquoted.. anyways, no biggy.

I think if anyone can pull it off, Joss can--he's the king of compelling camp.

we've had the debate of the meaning of the word 'camp' at Whedonesque...
I know Joss Whedon HATES camp and resented that his original script for the movie 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' was turned into campy crap...
I think servo66 was thinking that that is what Joss would do w/Wonder Woman...
but no, he wants to make her a serious icon.
He wants to give the character a backstory (he is doing an origin movie) that is worthy of a goddess...
Have you read Joss' 'Astonishing X-men' comics?
That will show you what I mean,
nothing 'campy' about it... he treats the characters with all seriousness
(along with his fresh brand of humorous dialog)
He wouldn't take on 'Wonder Woman' if he didn't think it could be great...
You just gotta have faith in Joss
(he has never let me down before)

Thanks for thinking of me. I certainly agree that if anyone could do it as right as it could be done it would be joss. For whatever reason he has an a wonderfull ability to write from a female perspective. Stil, i just think with the wealth of spin-offs, prequels, sequels and other non original material it would be much better to see this great original series put back into work. Here are some more contacts, I will post them on other threads as well, along with on the browncoats site. Cant stop the signal......

Honestly, I hope they kinda don't make a movie. I REALLY hope Joss will try another season, because I kinda like the slow progression thing. And see this?:
Worldwide Top Ten
-- Firefly - TV
-- Serenity - movie
-- Farscape - TV
-- Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - book
-- Babylon 5 - TV
-- Battlestar Galactica - TV
-- Dune - book
-- Enders Game - book
-- Empire Strikes Back - movie
-- Dr. Who - TV
FIREFLY is first. NOT serenity.
Catch my drift?
