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.

Say what??? And River is gonna be in it? And it will be Summer Glau? And I am not dreaming?? :)

Seems I with the concensus in this. News of the series starting back up would have me cackling with mad glee as I ran rampant through the streets. With that many characters to focus on (even though we're 2 less now :(... I think a series is still the best fit. Hard to cram everything into two hours without pushing some of the characters to the background.

Still, it was the movie that got me hooked on the 'verse, and I'll take whatever I can get.

I'd be happy with "Simon and River Tam's Dance Party Variety Show" to be honest.

'Course, even if we get five gagillion movies, I'll still be pushing for the series...

In my opinion I hope Firefly or Serenity is not placed into the same scope as Star Trek. Don't get me wrong, they are both S.F. but there is alot in FF that does not appear in any Star Trek or any of the spin offs. Whether its a TV series or Motion Picture again rests with Joss Whedon, his staff and the Executives of either Fox or Universal. Personally, I prefer television, things are changing, we have already seen the cancelation of the West Wing, Monday Night Football aired its last ABC showing, UPN, WB are going away to make room for the WC. eventually the reality shows, prime time crime and how you categorize Lost and Desparate Housewives.. is anyone guess but they too will lose their luster. Movies are judged by 1. ticket sales and 2. DVD sales, why buy when you can rent.. but do rentals count? if I want something I enjoy to return I would hope so. To get this off the ground, and we did, we sent letters voiced our support and wham.. September 2005 aired Serenity on the big screen.. just repeat that again and show the real numbers of the audience to grab sponsorship attention and you have a second chance comeback for a TV series. No matter what is done, the real effort must come from Joss Whedon without him and his staff FF is dead, Serenity came and went. If his interviews are something, hopefully all of us and our support will change that. Times are changing, so are audiences, perhaps this is the time.

i vote for a new series but i think most realisticly we will get another movie since the dvd's are doing well. or i think the most realistic would be a miniseries on Sci-Fi, which could just be a test of sorts and maybe Sci-Fi would pick up the rights and make another series . who knows i'll be happy with anything really.

I would prefer years of the TV series, but think it more likely that a movie sequel is made (if at all).

Does anyone else have the crazy fear that if another movie (or season) is produced it won't be as good as what we already have? I've had the experience of loving an author/book so much that I go out and read more by that author only to be disappointed by other works that it leaves an emotional scar. At this point, expectations are so high (in regard to quality of show) - and I can't stand to think about Wash not being a part of it...simply said, I'd hate to see something done that wasn't up to the standard.

Yeah, I read that too. Don't know the accuracy of it or if it's just the feature writer conjecturing, but it'd be nice to think they know something we don't!

I would like, nay DEMAND, a new series. You hear that TV executive types? I DEMAND it. Cater to my wishes, immediately. I'll wait over here in this desk chair.
