At this point, it's all rumor and conjecture.

As some have said, I don't think we should be popping the champagne too soon until they make like an official announcement.

But if it is true, then I'll be going "YES!!!" and "Oh Shit." "YES!!!" in that we'll be seeing our BDM's again. But "Oh Shit" for me because I'll have to wait for it to come on DVD.

I live in Regina, Saskatchewan and have a basic cable package. When FIREFLY was on, it was on Global, so I was able to catch it first run. SERENITY of course was a theatrical release. But if it were to go to cable, like the Sci-Fi channel, then I'll have to wait for it come onto SPACE and have to buy that channel along with a bunch of other channels I wouldn't watch, out of my own pocket, no less.

So it would take a while for it to get to me if this were to happen.

I have walked along the path of evil many times, it's a twisting, curving path that..actually leads to a charming plot garden, BUT BEYOND THAT EVIL!!!"

Is it just me or am I the only one who would prefer to see it on the Big Screen than as a movie on the sci fi channel.

I love some of their original programming but their original movies tend to suck. Has any one seen Species III? It was horrible?

I prefer the return of the tv show or a big screen film.

Granted, but I'm gonna go with Joss here and say that I'll take Firefly in whatever medium I can get it. Big screen, little screen, hell I'd even take it on Podcast if that's the best they could do!

You know the old saying about beggars and choosers? Well, Firefly fans are living, incontrovertible proof that that maxim holds about an ocean's worth of water.

Besides, Sci-Fi has been doing good programming recently. BSG, anyone?

Hmm....

I feel like i'd prefer another movie or a return of the show to a TV movie. As much of a rabid fan as i am, i think it was hard enough convincing people to see "a movie based on a cancelled TV show". Saying "watch this TV movie based on a mid-range grossing sci-fi flick released in September which was based on a cancelled TV show" seems like it would be even more of a hard sell.

Plus, TV movies don't air often.

Also i'm worried about who would return if it went back to TV.

That being said, i'll take anything over nothing any day.

I'm actually hoping for another movie, though, since a return straight to a series again seems, sadly, the unlikeliest.

I'm babbling like a moonbrain.

Firefly was the only thing ever good on Sci Fi anyway.. what a wonderful channel to kill brain cells.

Hopefully, I'm wrong but I believe that making a TV sequel to Serenity would go against the restrictions FOX put on Joss and Universal when they negotiated for the rights of the concept.

No network other than FOX is allowed to produce new episodes of Firefly for the next ten years 2004-2014.

I'm pretty sure that putting Firefly back on the air and calling it Serenity would be a breach of that agreement...

I wish I were smarter so all of that could've made more sense.

Jimmy: "Did you just call me fat?"
Alan: "Of course not. First off, I would never call any person fat. Secondly, you are fat."

As has been mentioned by several people further up the thread, all of that is rumor and third person hearsay. None of us really knows the full details of that agreement, and whatever it was initially could have been renegotiated. We'll just have to wait and see. I won't celebrate until we hear official word from Joss, but here's hoping my signature line is still valid.

I know that this has been said before, but run with me for a moment:

Sci-Fi Channel decides with the permission of FOX (who ain't done much with Firefly liscening rights) to create a tv movie. It runs about 1-2 hours long on a Friday or Saturday evening. The special effects are good, the story is awesome, and ratings are pretty decent for the time slot. After re-running for a few weeks Sci-Fi decides to make it into an original series.

Now I know its based on hear-say and rumors, but remember there is presidence for this. Sci-Fi took an older short lived Battlestar Galactica series and turned it into a hit. They also have a good thing with Stargate after they bought it from Showtime.

Basically I'm full of it, but without hope, what have you got?
