Even if they were to bring the show back as a series, it would still be at least a year to two years before we started to see new episodes.

I was really happy with how the series ended and how the movie complimented that and I'm very happy to see that there will be more comic books to continue the story.

I would just like to see the storyline continued. Be that through another movie, a mini-series, or another television series.

I’d say the consensus is that most brown coats would prefer the return of “Firefly the series” as a first run syndication deal with ALL the players brought back to pick it up right after “Objects in Space”. I figure that timeline wise we could get maybe a season or two before the time line caught up with the BDM. That would present for all kinds of opportunities for twists and turns that could be woven into the BDM and then picked up right after the infamous:

“I’m a leaf on the wind”… Kerrrtunnk!!!! Yeah, I was stunned… actually I went WTF!!! I had to re-watch the movie from that point on because even though I was watching it “ I understood but didn’t comprehend” if you know what I mean. Yeah, I’m still in denial. And that after I had already been thinking “ well hell, they didn’t have to do that to Book.”

Hell, But they could even do a season of “Firefly, the early days” or something. I see lots of opportunities for many “Shiney” adventures in the verse.

Don’t get me wrong, the movie was very, very cool, (thank you very much Universal) it just didn’t resonate with me on the same level as the series did. I also wish Greg E had been able to do the BDM score.

And Guys, I believe it really is feasible for it to come back as a series. Why?? Because, if it can be determined to be “economically feasible” and “profitable”, then it’s just a matter of putting all the part together to make them work. Which at this point appears to be the major hurdle.

Anyway, that’s my two cents. Be good

I would love a new series, but it would be wierd without Wash or Book. However, Joss has said that Firefly will probably not make it back to the small screen, and that Serenity will only fly on the big screen again. So...who knows.

It is in my opinion, within the guidelines of what was said, that they should keep Serenity flying on the big screen and finish it out with 2 more movies to complete the trilogy...

But... within the same breath I think that the Universe should be carried on as a TV show... maybe show the aftermath of what Serenity does and see how it affects a new crew... I don't know. And then get Guest Apperences... or something...

I am all for a show, preferably on a network that knows how to properly advertise the jewel that is Firefly.

Another movie would be nice, but I'm a fan of the one hour drama, and feel that the crew of Firefly crammed into two hours just doesn't cut it. I'd rather see how things play out, see what happens with Inara and Mal, with Kaylee and Simon, with River and whatever else she might know, and maybe in her new role within the team... how will Zoe recover from losing Wash? What about Mal's problems with opening up and trusting people?

See, you can't cover all that adequately in a movie! Yes, Serenity hooked me into this show, as I'm sure it's doing for others... but I would love to have a show again. Find someone who can properly advertise this show and put it on at a good time and day of the week! Please! :)

Tough call.

I saw Serenity first. Fell devoutly in love with River Tam (but that story is all air through the engine, as Mal would say, so I won't bore you with that). Then I saw FireFly. So, which one?

Serenity, the sequel? The potential for story line with River and the Alliance is sheer endless.

The series? With the series, when situated properly, to have it continue where Objects in Space cut off, we could get Wash back! It's really hard to picture him not being part of the crew.

Or Serenity, the prequel? Might be really interesting, not to mention: moving -- to see Simon prepare for the big day he breaks out River. Of course, then the entire movie would kinda be about River. But, somehow, I do not think I would necessarily mind. :) The downside of this plotline, of course, would be that we would then not actually get to see River! Oh, my gawd, I can be such an idiot! Okay, let's don't, and say we did. In fact, let's not even say we did. :)

So, I dunno, maybe the series. Or the sequel? Sigh. River Tam needs to be in it, though. And it better be Summer Glau; else I'm walking (and then I'll find a sword to fall on).

I think a series picking up where the movie left off would be very exciting. The story could move forward instead of catching up to the movie, and flashbacks could somehow be used to fill in the gap and move the series forward. Maybe they could do the series after the movie and go back to do a miniseries after the new series runs a while. In any case I would be afraid to take on the events between the series and the movie first because events after the movie would, in my opinion, be able to bring in a wider audience.

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 agree, the characters and story and a fresh take on sci-fi w/ the 'verse are what first drew me. Also I thought the special effects in the show were pretty great (along w/ the creative camera work BSG has picked up on). A series would give better story telling opportunities (plus give us more of our BDH's). A sequel to the movie has the potential of a poor response (compaired to the fair response to the BDM), and could ruin future attempts (sorry for the neg. vibes). I could easily see a two or three part mini-series to test the waters, pulling in even more fans.

I don't know if anybodies read the new DVD Review/DVD Monthly magazine - the one with River on the front.
Well it says that Serenity has 2 (two - count 'em) sequels 'lined up', which Whedon will be working on after Wonder Woman (or Super Girl or whatever he's doing next).

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned that, but thought I would just in case.
