Do you think they will ignore the happenings in Serenity?

As much as I want the series to return, it is doubtful. But if it did return, I think Serenity would be the season finale of season 1.

I sort of hope they'd ignore the happenings from the BDM; I just don't like the idea of Firefly the TV show

Select to view spoiler:

without Book and Wash, especially Wash!

But if it did make it back to a show I bet they would not ignore the happenings from the BDM.

i think if the show would continue, the could not ignore the BDM. Joss has stated that the BDM would have happened eventually, it was just accellerated for the movie cuz they only had two hours. they could start up a few days later. I would love to see **spoilers** Zoe living without Wash, Mal trying to find a new pilot (i dont think having River as a replacement Pilot would work forever), seein Simon and Kaylee actually getting a relationshiop, but it is Joss so i dont think it would last too long.

and hey, remember how in Heart of Gold, Zoe said how she wanted a baby. What if Wash and Zoe slept together at some point right before the BDM, so she's actually pregnant? that would be awesome! pregnant Zoe! LOL.

I sort of wonder if the movie slammed the door on any chance of reviving the series. I would imagine that any series now would continue a possible rebellion started by the activities of the film with occasional flashbacks to answer lingering questions and gaps.

I'd be happy with a few more movies based on skipped episodes or the history of Book. I think it should be obvious enough that there are enough DVD sales to had to make them viable.

While Wash and Book would be sorely missed, I look at it this way. Joss created these characters that we love so much. We never knew them until he introduced us to them. While no one could ever replace them, who says he can't introduce us to new characters that we will fall in love with. Not everything can remain constant. I would have been nice, but one thing we've sadly learned on the long hard Browncoat road is that nothing in the 'verse is garunteed, and it is hard.

frankly, i think that not much has changed. call me crazy, but first listen to my reasoning. I am looking at it from a mechanical aspect, rather than that of a fan (which i am, but am blocking out for this part):

The couple is now Simon and Kaylee, rather than Wash and Zoe.
The bitter one is now Zoe.
The slightly less bitter captain can fill in for Book, and the slightly less funny captain can fill in for Wash.
The hotshot pilot is now River, with more amusing antics, seeing as anything she chooses to do will be invented on the spot by her prodigious psychic mind, rather than her years of experience as a pilot.
Jayne is still an asshole, still a moron, and still hi-larious.

All in all, the show could be the same from a mechanical aspect. The only thing I hated was that they slaughtered Mr. Universe before he even had a chance to show his mettle with the ensemble cast.

I think it would work okay. She seemed to be a natural with the controls, and it gives River a solid role within the crew. Now that she's exorcized many of her demons and likely won't require the constant supervision she'd been having, being the pilot gives her a new purpose, and not just as a passenger there with her brother. I like the idea quite a bit...

I don't. I'd rather have River out participating in whatever jobs they're doing and not sitting back on Serenity.

I think she'd prolly fill in for both...she seems like the type that could handle it.

Personally, I'd like to see a season that leads up to the movie (as was stated before). Of course, that would make Wash's demise so much more impactful (is that even a word). But it would create some excellent story and make for future episodes to be even better. Then, (as per the comics and the commentary) show when and why Inara and Book left. And why Mal didn't stop her.
