Yes quite agree. And they should ignore the movie, (like the second highlander) and have the full crew in the series.

What's all this? Who's Fiona Phillips? What negativity? I have the IQ of a slug here; help me out.




Fiona is the female host, you only see her briefly in the clip.

Btw, they spoke to them longer, and someone posted the full clip to the binary newsgroups at one time.

since this is a Joss-verse


I had a moment when I thought maybe Joss will be nice, maybe he'll let someone be happy but then I remembered that this is Joss we're talking about here...

It made me sad.

Jayne! Try not to steal too much of their shit.

"...quite possible..."? More like "really very extremely possible". The proof: Simon and Kaylee just started a relationship and are (probably) quite happy together; hence, since this is a Joss-verse, something bad, most likely death, must happen to one of them at some stage. It's unlikely to be Simon, since Simon is more "important" for the overall storyline, so Kaylee dies (or gets horribly mutilated or some such thing). It's a sad thought, but there you go.




Joss could never make himself kill off Willow, and Kaylee is sort of the Willow of Firefly, so I don't think she'd die. She's even nicer and not naturally proned to lose it and go evil. Simon is totally willing to die for his sister (and probably Kaylee), but if he's anything like Angel- who throws himself into anything dangerous and deadly- death rarely comes to anyone willing to take it.

I have to enjoy Nathan's answer to the question of "Will the fans be satisfied?" It was like he knew how we all felt that yeah we'll most likely be fans of hte movie but we can't get enough of the verse and will always want more. He understands this as most browncoats do, but he didn't exactly describe it like that to the host but kept it at yeah we'll like it yet be sad. Just wanted to point that out.

Ain't that just shiny?

I am not sure if I understand the need to kill people off in order to end the series. It’s not a Greek tragedy. If Serenity is fortunate to be a trilogy, end it with our BDH on the ship we love still fighting the good fight or find em a new home some where planet side. I know that’s a little fluffy, but geez the verse is a rough place to be they deserve better than having it beat them.

The series should end the way it began, still flying.

Also the idea that you need to kill off a character to stop someone else from playing that character is about the same as the idea that you have to kill off a person to avoid seeing them, while the killing would help it is not remotely necessary and is highly excessive.

Further simply killing a character is no guarantee that that character will not be played by someone else.

-

Finally I think it's rather stupid (though rather Joss-like none the less) to force tragedy every time something good happens. It makes it about as realistic as having everyone happy and content all the time and never having anything bad happening.

Screwing up the Kaylee-Simon relationship just to add to the tension is about as smart as making Mal and Inara magically get together for the hell of it.

I really dont think that Joss would keep killing people in a sequel. He killed Wash n Book for two reasons, two reasons only:

A)The death of a character is always a great arc, so the next movie doesnt have to kill anyone, just cover Zoe handling wash's death..

B)Joss felt he had to, and he was probably right, kill someone unexpectedly in the film in order to drive the point home that no one is safe for the final battle scenes. However, now that he has established that for the movies (he would have done same in the series sometime) he doesn't need to rampantly kill folks.

I survived a day in Whitefall and all I got was this lousy signature!

It's not like he would just all of a sudden kill Kaylee or Simon two seconds after they got together. Willow and Tara were together almost 3 seasons--and Joss delayed the inevitable for over a year because he didn't want their story to end so fast. Anya and Xander were together for nearly a full 3 seasons and weren't even 'officially' back together by Chosen.

I think Joss gets way too much credit for being a killer. The paranoia is understandable, but, just that...mostly paranoia. Tim Minear does a lot of damage on his own and no one hardly ever mentions him. Jeez, he killed the same character like 3 times; more than that if you count symbolically...

If the series was still around, you would have to look out for more than Joss, he wasn't the only executive producer.
