Or a prequel...

Wow, another legal show. What's next, a doctor show where medical students learn important lessons about life and death while trying to navigate the treacherous waters of love? Or better yet, how about a police procedural? Maybe one with a grizzled old cop partnered with a young brash newbie that takes the rules and regulations and tosses them out the window.

Wait! I can't believe I just posted my new and original TV ideas here on the board for everyone to see! What was I thinking giving away my secrets like that?

Well if you want to get him back the options would be either to clone him (but then you would need to accelerate his development to achieve the same age) or to produce an identical twin brother!

Of course you could write a prequel to Serenity, but then you would go back to a still disturbed River. Then again you could also get Shepherd Book back as well who, in my view, still has a lot of mileage left in his (hi)story.

A shame to lose both quiet level headed voices of moderation and wisdom! They acted as foils for the gung-ho overreaction of the more headstrong members of the crew. Difficult in a new film to introduce new crew, that's where a new series would really score - in terms of depth of characterisation and the time to tell a story, which is why when it comes down to it I like Firefy. Yes the film is a very entertaining bonus, but I enjoy the series more.

Of course that begs the problem of where to go with the plot if a sequel is on the cards, does the Alliance still puruse the Tams, and if not what furhter skullduggery can the crew of Serenity uncover and combat? There is a limit to what a 90 minute film can cope with. Oh for a new series!

Lawyer show? CBS? Bah.

I hate both of those. CBS cancelled Joan of Arcadia, darnit!

But I like Alan Tudyk. So... yeah.

Ok I have to agree with you whole-heartedly. A new series would allow for flashbacks to uncover the mystery of Shepherd as they traverse the 'verse, as well as allow Zoe to cope with the loss of Wash with flashbacks and maybe find a new love interest. This would also allow for new characters to be integrated and made one with Serenity allowing a movie sequel that would actually make sense and happiness. (not that anything wouldnt at this point) I just hope Joss doesn't get so caught up in other things that Firefly falls by the wayside, (shudders to think) which in that case would force me to become a millionaire to hire Joss to make the thing myself.

Unfortunately the comic book tied up a lot of the loose ends between Firefly and Serenity too quickly. But if another series was done, there is quite alot of prequel story fodder left(that could be worked into a sequal series), especially for Book- since in Serenity he seemed to had been in Haven for good deal of time(getting him there and his experiences there woud be pretty fun to see). What would be awesome is to have a new series with a few new cast members and an agreement form Alan and Ron to come back and do a few prequel or flashback episodes.

But we all need to say a few prayers for the 'verse since Serenity barely made it into the black.....and network execs never seem to care how good of a story they got....but instead how much of our money they got.

Oh God, Oh God we're all gonna die?

Bleh, another generic show. There are already enough shows like this. But its useless to say that because as long as the networks call it a smash new Drama with something the others don't have (Regardless that they are blatantly lieing to us. And the huddled masses who watch all the other ones will chomp this up as well, giving it huge ratings.

I remember someone posting this a while back, but IMO it would be the best way to bring wash back. Flashbacks are a given. But the Idea went along the lines of River seeing Wash (Doesn't matter if she is imagining it) next to her and he was teaching her how to fly. ANd spouting off his occasional joke that forces us all into convulsive laughter.

Maybe we could cut down on the number of legal/medical/investigative shows by merging them into one huge show, lawyers follow clues from trace clues collected from bodies of victims (who are saved in hospital rooms) and then they can try it in court...they could expand the format to 90 minutes to fit it all in. Then I will have more motivation to do homework during said 90 minutes.
