"Look--I find some of what you teach suspect
Because I'm used to relying on intellect
But I try to open up to what I don't know
Because reason says I should have died three years ago."

You know, I think that a better way would be to

1. pretend Serenity never happened (Yeah, I wish)

2. Whedon goes out and raises money from the IPO market

3. Produce the series and sell it on Itunes

4. Profit! (see, it is possible)

I personally don't think anybody official has ruled out anything. I've never gotten that from anything that Joss has said. He's a pretty sarcastic and quirky guy, but even in this quote, he still exhibits interest in doing a television series. Actually, I seem to remember a recent interview that asked him point-blank if he was done with TV now that he was in feature films, and his response was that his heart is always in TV. That sounds more enthusiastic for a series to me.

I do think Joss wore himself out pretty badly trying to get Firefly back on the air and then stumping for Serenity. I think in Joss' mind, the *most likely* positive scenario if we're going to succeed is to do more movies and continue to grow the fanbase before we move back to TV. He still loves this crew, and he still loves this 'verse and wants to tell more about it.

Every time I've read this article, all I've ever read in these words about no more Firefly is that he's saying that no matter where he takes this 'verse, it's never going to be *exactly* the same. We can have the same cast, the same sets, the same 'verse, and even the same stories, but something will always be a little different - and that's not to say that it will necessarily be worse and any less the show that we love - it's just not "Firefly" :)

Hi,

I went to see the movie with friends who pciked it. Thought it was the best thing since Star Wars and bought the Firefly DVD at Christams, having watched them all I just don't understand what idiot thought this wouldnt work. It's superb. It's eay to identify with each od the characters in one way or another and they have the best rapport. What were the viewing figures, sorry if it's on the site somewhere, juts logge don for the first time to find out if there would be a revival and heart broken that there isn't!!
