I'd like to see another movie, however I have begun to suspect with all the interest from SciFi ( reruns, polls, etc.) that they may be conjuring a mini-series to feel it out like they did BSG. Maybe a successful mini-series or tv movie and then check the ratings and see if a tv show is possible.
I would LOVE the series to come to tv ( like you... provided it's Joss, Tim and the cast, and only this cast, no replacements, please) and then more movies etc. I really do think that given enough exposure Firefly/Serenity has the ability to become a big hit. The next franchise if you will. It just hasn't spread far enough and wide enough. YET.
So to answer your question ( heavens, I'm long winded today!), yes I think there will have to be another movie, or a mini-series or tv movie for the suits to see just how big an impact it will have. In the meantime, us tellin' 'em so won't hurt.

Yes, and TIM! His name seems to get left off the list too often (I'm guilty of it myself), but he's as vital as anyone else. Can't forget the Tim love!
MAL: We're still flying.
SIMON: That's not much.
MAL: It's enough.

Yea, what is it about that? I often forget that my 2 most favorite eps were written by Tim or co-written by Tim. ( OoG and The Message).
Right after the movie came out, folks posted on here that Tim would be in on the second movie (WHEN, note I said, WHEN, I'm upbeat today, gorramnit! LOL)it comes out.

Done.
And here, I had just mailed them THEN read the thread... We must be thinking alike.
Posted what I wrote on my blog here.
Anyone got info on a snail-mail addy we can write to? I've got a few fifty stamps. If I gotta write them every week and write up my own screenplays, I'll do that too.
I think that as a sign of respect to the Browncoats that have gone before, I'd be more than willing to help begin a writing campaign to SciFi.
Please, oh please, let this be the light at the end of the tunnel. SciFi has not let me down yet.
We WILL hold till we get them back.

Much love to Tim. By the way, as I was reading responses to this thred, I was reminded of Sliders. Remember that show? It was cancelled by Fox and picked up by Sci Fi for a while. I think they made two seasons or something. So, it does happen.
By the way, I think SG-1 has run its course. Wouldn't that be a sweet Friday night? Firefly and then BG? I'm in. Still enough room on my DVR for Monk too.

I've never really gotten into BSG. My husband likes it but doesn't watch it often b/c I'm not into it (and I'm kinda pushy with the TV). I must say, however, that with a FF/BSG line-up, odds are exceptional that I'd watch BSG every week. So there you go, SciFi Channel--want more viewers for your other programs? Slap some new FF in there and increase your viewing public! :-)

BSG is good, Mcallen, you should give it a try. It's not as good as Firefly, sometimes bows to the scifi tried and true formulaic thing, but it's as good as tv gets right now.
Count me in... I'm there for FF and BSG! I'd never go anywhere on a Friday night again!
Milford, I'm afraid you are right. I think that SG-1 has run it's course, but I think that Atlantis has a little go in it yet.

The partial episodes I've seen of BSG (and admittedly, it's just been a few minutes here and there) all just seem so cold and sterile. I've never heard a funny on there, and it's all just ... so ... dramatic. Not saying it needs to be Vaudeville, but I've always gotten a very one-dimensional feeling from watching it. Perhaps I should try again, though ...
