Abusing links is the only way I know how to live. But I am here with a purpose, my friends. Call me joss Whedon: Rumor Crusher! (Or "Mister Fendendo", if we're being intimate.)
Since everyone's all abuzz with the CW rumor, I have to get all official and say: WE'VE STARTED FILMING NEW EPISODES! Of Dateline. I'm such a troll.
No, there haven't been any overtures from the CW as regards a SereniFly spin-off. I haven't even heard the orchestra tuning up. But if they happen to come calling, I do know what I would do:
1) In order to keep the show cost efficient, we would get rid of a few things we don't need, like spaceships, floors, and Jewel. (You thought I was gonna say 'costumes', didn't you? Porn guy.)
2) Nathan is busy making movies, but since I don't want new cast members, everybody in the cast would just move over one. Jewel (she's back!) would play Mal, Ron would play Kaylee, Morena would play Book, and so on.
3) People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.
4) The actors can make up their dialogue. I'm bushed, and they're all funny, and the hell with it. Maybe I'll give them a premise to work off of, like "You're all in trouble" or "Wash has a thing". They could maybe light it too.
5) Klingons, but not alien Klingons. But still Klingons.
So already the show is running like a well oiled companion. I'm just proud to be a part of the Country Western network, and I know this will be their biggest hit since "Have Space-Gun, Will Travel."
I hope, as always, this clears things up. And I hope the executives at the Carnie Wilson network DO give me a call. I've got a million ideas for redoing their offices.
Power to the people who are powerful enough to crush the other people! -jossy.

If there WERE overtures he would never tell us. That'd be a deal-killer fer sher.
Think about corporate mergers: Anybody who finds out about it in advance and blabs gets fired, anybody who acts on that info gets thrown in jail for insider trading, and the poor stiffs who work for either company had just keep scratchin out their 9-to-5s until they hear it on CNN. If we hear it, it prolly ain't true.
In other words, Joss is havin fun with us... but only time will tell.

Probably true, probably true...but why say anything at all if that is the case?
I fall in the category with most of us I guess...I cling to every slightly miniscule piece of good news hoping it is "the one"...
I am the Morpheus of firefly....maybe i can go to dinner with gina and lawrence...

That's just Joss being Joss. That man couldn't write a serious post if his life depended on it.

Well good on him for getting in there and debunking that rumor quickly. Now I don't have to wonder anymore. I didn't think it was true, but I did have a tiny glimmer of hope. *sigh*
As for the, "He's not allowed to tell us if something really is being talked about" stance, my thinking is that he would just refrain from commenting were that the case. I seriously doubt he would lie about it. Stupid rumors. *grumble*

And if he did post because his life depended on it, I'm sure he would say something like, "Ask for me tomorrow, and you'll find me a grave man."
*hopes no one guesses she's an English major*

I say flame that rumor-wench.
Seriously.
No. I swear, for once I'm being serious.
Ok, no I'm not. But I do say we should have some strong words for her. Ooooo...does she know what she'll get if she gets all these Browncoats ticked off?

BTW:
Anyone else getting the STRONG feeling that he's awfully possessive of this show?
Why else defend it so quickly, making sure we know right from wrong. Albeit in Joss-speak, but still...
