Serenity 2 would probably be more successful than Serenity 1

Hehe; that is me, alright! :) I had never even heard of FireFly before I saw Serenity (now a good 6 weeks ago).

For some mysterious reason, though, I had already heard the name River Tam, before I saw Serenity, but I had no association with it yet (must have been a late quantum state phenomenon, letting me know, beforehand, that she was about to change my life for ever).

For me, seeing Serenity first was a good experience. Because seeing the series afterwards is like someone telling you: "Okay, now my dear, you get to see the fineprint." And a fine print it was! :)

LONG LIVE RIVER TAM!

EDIT: Oh yeah, I was supposed to say something about a sequel here (funny, I wound up talking about River again; wonder how that happened; lol).

I think the sequel would do better than the original. But I'm not sure it would be a better movie, per se. It's just really hard to imagine Summer Glau outperform herself in the sequel. She should have received an Oscar for her work in Serenity/FireFly already (but I digress, yet again!). In a way, I'm almost afraid to see something new, series or movie; I mean, how do you top this? But with Summer Glau in it, I will see it all, of course, and love it. :) Without her, I will probably pass, though.

i see the ranks really are growing! I came at the 'verse sideways (as Book said). I remember when the series premiered, saw a couple episodes but was too busy dealing with kids, divorce, job issues...in a word life, to remember when it was even on - by the time things had settled down, Firefly was gone.

So life went on, and then I saw the previews for the BDM, didn't get a chance to see it in the theaters (damn shame too - would like to see that ship on the big screen).

Then Dec '05 comes along, the movie gets released (on my b-day of all days - how cool is that? lol), I go rent it, watch it, take the dvd back to the rental store - DRIVE STRAIGHT TO BEST BUY and buy the BDM...get home and get on the web, start doing some research and find the boxed set - go BACK to the store and buy it! Watch the whole series in like a day and half and I've been hooked ever since.

Now I can't get enuff - and given a choice of a "series" of movies or a couple seasons on tv, I'd opt for the seasons - they'd be able to cover much more ground and with far more detail than a handful of movies (did anyone else notice how the Star Wars prequels seemed "rushed"). That said I'll take any and all stories related to the verse that I can get my hands on!!!

Would a second movie be more successful? I think it definitely would. And the studio could do far worse - look at some of the tripe that has managed to have multiple sequels when the first movie wasn't even any good!

Why must you people constantly provide me with hope? That only gives the executives something to crush and we all know how good they are at tearing things apart. I should just stop reading all these shiny threads, but deep down I guess I still think someday I'll log in to see "Serenifly picked up by snoozwogle network" or something like that.

C'mon Zeek, you wanna be here when that happens right. WHEN THAT HAPPENS....

I don't think it's over. I really don't. There are too many people getting exposed to the 'verse by the movie now and becoming fans. People are still snapping up the DVD's of the movie and the show. More show or movie is the only place to go with this. We just have to hold...and wait for the shiny day when that news will come. And in the meantime, we are all here having a great time and enjoying each others company. It'll do til Joss and the Captain tell us it's comin' back!

I agree, I dont think its over. It has gotten too much publicity in the past couple of years. I'm not picky: I'd love to see it come back to T.V. because, as previously mentioned, they could go into much more detail. But I'd definately settle for more big screen BDMs or straight to DVD BDMs. A new movie would probably be far more sucessful with the still rabidly swelling rabid fans (and damn proud of it!) I'm kind of suprised there arent more novels out there with the TONS of top quality fanfiction available not to mention the excellent comics Big Daddy Joss wrote.

I am 100% that a another movie or two would pull everyone in. I first saw the series about 6weeks ago when one of my daughter's friends brought it by the house. I saw the pilot and was hooked!! that was no accident nor freak of nature. I hate to compare it to the original fan bring back but if it worked for Star Trek fans it can work for us!! I think there are plenty of Browncoats out there that can write well 'nuff and love the characters so as to write them well. I myself am not a novelist but I am an avid reader and would read any fanfiction I could get my hands on. (sorry guys but I cut my teeth on Star Trek seein' as how my parents were Trekkers from waaayy back!)

The seqel WILL be more successful because it will be the big wrap up to the ninth season cliff hanger.

I'm generally an pessimistic person, but I'm trying a new appraoch. My wife is all for optimism, and she's a well-liked person, so I thought I'd give it a go. This is my proving ground.
