And it would probably be wildly sucessfull and next season all of the shows would be doccoplawyer shows. The net end result is the same total inanity in a slightly different package.

I was just thinking..., River is psychic..., river spent time around Book and Wash..., wouldn't parts of their psyche somehow imprint upon her? Just a weird thought for keeping them around in a quasi-mentor-like manner...

Shatner is brilliant, and Boston Legal is the only lawyer program that's worth watching.

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.

Well if wishes were horses we'd be knee deep in manure! (Horse steak is not a meat that I would relish eating!).

Now that the relentless search by the Alliance for the Tams has (presumably) ceased and if River's psychosis is on the mend, then she ceases to be central to the storyline and is now Wash's relacement as pilot (judging by the film ending). What next? A new crew member with a warrant on their head becuase of some knowledge of Alliance malfeasance? A bit samey perhaps.
Perhaps Mal Reynolds now declares war on the Alliance a la Blake's Seven, but then Serenity is not a warship, the crew are not zealots and the Alliance is not the totalitarian regime that the Federation was.

If all we have to look forward to are episodes that flesh out (so to speak) dead characters, then it would lose momentum. It does not need to become a romantic melodrama either, with Jayne, River and the bereaved Zoe finding true love - or for Mal to lose the darkness that leads him to think that none of it means a damn thing. No it needs a hook... a raison d'etre.

A series can handle storylines and introduce new crew members and have guest characters in each episode, and at the same time allow character development of the crew. A new film however needs a point, wrongs to be righted, a big enemy, and lots of action to keep the adrenaline junkies interested!

More lawyers ... I can hardly contain my excitment. If I recall correctly, cops, lawyers and doctors are the reason I stopped watching television. As much as I like Alan, I can't support the further banalization of network tv.

As for sequel ideas, there are all kinds of exciting directions the story could go. Mal made more than a few enemies during the series - bring back Niska, for instance. Or, what if the crew decides they've had enough of the reavers for one lifetime, and they embark on a quest to totally eradicate the crazy flesh-eaters forever. But, heck, if we want something truly epic, have the independents rise again! You know that as cynical and bitter as Mal is, he and Serenity couldn't help but end up getting involved in the war. Maybe Mal even becomes the leader of the new insurgency. :)

Pinin' Zoe cashes paycheck for shiny new Washbot. Hilarity ensues.

Joss' fav fetish is reincarnated sexbots...

And what about Mrs Universe? She's awfully cute to just take a dirt nap.
