Firefly is great. Serenity is fantastic (in all senses of the word). Let it go.

As far as sci-fi is concerned "Serenity" and
"Firefly" raise the bar.

Let us take what we have and build upon it but not wish for the glory days of old. Serenity may never sail again but the frission is still there.

I think that Firefly/Serenity are good at 14 episodes and one great movie. Don't try to spoil things with a desire for more.

Nope, think I keep the faith. Never gave up on Star Trek after I watched the orignal series as a kid.
Quiting is just not my style, Its not over till I say it is.

I'm with Subtorpman. It ain't over till I'm dead and buried. I want a sequel and I'll make sure the world won't be at peace until I get it. Defeatists always try and soft pedal things like being grateful for what they've got and resigning themselves to things as they are because they lack the fortitude to push on and keep trying. We've done the impossible and we'll do it again and that'll make us mightier.

I'm holding the line too... can't give up, it's too important.

We HAVE to have a sequel or a return of the show. No other options for me.

I'm in love, and I don't fall out of love easy.

Not gonna settle.

I agree with BKIvey, except for the great movie part -- so why do I still come here?

I agree in respect to hating to see something of diminished quality turned out. If there is a good movie or series to be had with full support and effort that delivers what Firefly did, bring it on. Otherwise, maybe we'd be better off with a consistently quality memory.

You know, the Beatles are mentioned in another thread here, and there is a certain parallel I wish to make, regarding a possible return for "Firefly/Serenity".

I don't know the ages of the folks in here, but I'm guessing that many of you were not born when the Beatles were around. Well, the Beatles changed the face of popular music, and there was no going back. After six short years (6 years of fame, with about 5 more before that in obscurity), they broke up and for people who loved music, it was like the music died.

The whole of the 1970's was just one big "Let's get the Beatles back together" thing after another. Rumors abounded. A few ambitious promoters even offered inordinant sums of money in an attempt to entice the boys back together.

(If memory serves me correctly, in 1978 one promoter offered them 200 million dollars for a 30 minute concert. 200 million is a lot now, imagine what that could buy 30 years ago.)

People never stopped demanding a Beatles reunion until there physically could no longer be a Beatles reunion (on Dec. 8, 1980, when John Lennon died).

I imagine it will be the same with "Firefly". In a certain respect, "Firefly" (while not boasting the longetivity of the Beatles) showed us what "good sci-fi" could be like. We're not happy that we were short-changed by the idiot networks, and would like more.

But as someone else has said, the actors aren't getting any younger. Unless you want a "Firefly" with the crew in wheelchairs...

Anyhow, I'd like to see the show return, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I saw this happen with the Beatles, and a lot of music lovers never got their wish.

"You guys started a riot? On account of me? Oh...I am truly touched, truly, truly touched by that. I mean -- all of this has been swell and all, but that, my very own RIOT!"

*cough* without that desire there wouldn't have been a movie in the first place *cough*

In a real war I would consider your attitude desertion.

NEVER! If it was just us, the fans, that wanted more stories in the 'verse, it would be selfish. But no, the creater, the producers, the crew and the cast want it too. All of these people and the fans are the reason Serenity was made in the first place. Remember, dear Mr. Fillion has said that everyone wanted sequals, including him (he wants to die at the end of #3

).
