I want another season, but I'm sure we'll get another movie.

I'd much *prefer* a full season of the TV show. It just gives you so much more room to explore the characters, delve into each of their stories, and really pulls them all together into a coherent group in a better way than a 2-hour bang-em-up movie can do.

That said, I think the much more likely possibilities are (a) a sequel movie, or (b) a TV miniseries. For roughly the cost of one season of the show, we could have another movie of about the same budget as Serenity, and for probably less than that we could have a miniseries that would "test the waters" to see if this baby has wings. Given a choice between those two, I'd opt for the miniseries in a heartbeat. Serenity was good; I liked it, but I'd much rather have less CGI and more storylines and character develpment. It wasn't the effects that hooked me on Firefly in the first place; it was the characters and their stories!

Any of these would be fine by me, but I think a full-blown series revival is probably the least likely to happen. Doesn't seem too likely that any of the major networks are going to pony up the cash to bring the series back to the small screen, especially considering that it was a "failed" series in most network execs' minds. :(

I say either would be awesome. A continuation of the show would allow for further storytelling and character development than a simple sequel. A second movie would still be very limiting.

If the series were to pick up right where the movie left off, as unfortunate as it is that we will no longer have Wash & Shepard Book with the crew, new characters will be added to the flock.

My vote is for a new series!

Don't forget flashbacks with Wash and Book if the story continues where the movie ends.

I'd prefer the series to come back, but several miniseries would work for me broadcast on TV or direct to DVD.

I loved the movie, but the story plays better as continuing chapters.

Woah woah woah! Quality of films is better? I disagree. I thought the TV show was better. Did the film have bigger badder SFX? Sure, but that didn't make it any better. Characterization suffered, one of the biggest reasons i fell in love with the show. I don't care about budget & SFX. I want to see how the characters interact. I want the witty dialog & the odd looks they give each other & the tensions that ebb & flow & the spin of events that make the crew wonder why they got out of bed that morning, etc.

Cast my vote for a return of Firefly! Even 3 years after Firefly would jump-the-shark, it'd still be the best thing on TV. I'll take a Serenity sequel if that's all we can get. Comics? Bleh, useless. Oh, sorry, "graphic novels"

I think a next series would be great, but think it should be after the movie took place, with maybe flashbacks including Wash and Book. Maybe they'd run into someone who knew Book or Wash before they got on Serenity, and explains things about their past. Maybe even add some new characters, who knows. Probably there will be a second movie, but maybe if we got enough people interested, they'd give us the next series.
