As I was running yesterday I started putting some of our new info together. When what's-her-face said that a friend of a friend who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night saw Nathan, Gina, and Summer at the CW offices, I was giddy. Then we heard nothing. There was some speculation about CW bringing the show back. Since then we've heard that Alan and Adam (perhaps they do it alphabetically?) have been cast in new series. They were conspicuously absent from the CW sighting. Now we know why. They've got new jobs. I don't see a FF series working without either one of them, especially Jayne. Does this spell the end?

You have two jobs Browncoats:
1-Convince me I'm wrong. Someone explain to me that the letters and emails are being read by someone literate and that there is hope in the verse for more adventures.
2-Cheer me up. This has me downright pouty. I'm not used to being optimistic, and I think after having my hopes thusly dashed I won't be again.

I am happy that Adam and Alan are working as it will be good to some of the FF actors on the small screen again.

That being said, not all pilots make it to air, and if they do, as we all know very much to our ruttin displeasure, shows do get cancelled very shortly into a season.

So I say we hold, hold till they get back!

I'll be in Jaynes bunk

...now I know this hurts but a new FF series would not be requiring Alan Tudyk's services as you should know if you've caught the BDM...

Just thinking about it makes me sad :(

Still, from what I gathered, Whedon is more interested in doing some theatrical productions then a new show. What I'd really like? A mini series, 6-8 hours I'd say, four just isnt enough, that tells a story about someone else besides our intrepid crew, give us a different perspective on the Verse.

Good point, however I'm worried about them being contracted to the network so that when the shows are cancelled they'll still belong to the enemy.

Here's something to cheer you up...

There may be no more, Firefly, there may be no more Serenity, but soon, someone else is going to come up with a story just as compelling, and characters just as real. I've learnt never to hold loyalty to any one tale, and not to grieve too much over the passing of one (and yet while there's still hope to fight to keep it alive) because I believe in the power of story and that 'lightning in a bottle' doesn't have to be as rare as everyone thinks.

I'm not sure if there'll be anymore adventures with Mal, but I am sure that there will be people out there - some of them inspired by Joss - who will be itching to tell tall tales of their own.

And they will blow our gorram socks off.

I'd rather seven different special and wonderful little series of stunning imagination, than seven series of Firefly, believe it or not, as long as they got all their stories told in 22 episodes each. (Though I would probably maim someone for at least a second season of Firefly)

P.S: Just bought Serenity! Yay! And it's as good as I remembered it! Double yay! And at least five people from work are buying it! Treble yay!

Not sure what the CW sighting was all about or why they were there, but Joss said he hasn't heard anything from them. There is always hope, and with the stellar DVD sales I can't imagine that nobody would want to continue the series. Probably more likely that we'll see a new movie though.

Mayhaps you should change your screenname to Kaylee, as you are insufferably, and welcomely, cheerful.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure welcomely is a word. See how addlepated this has me? There I go again, I doubt that's how you spell addlepated.

Ya never know what's up with these execs in TV land but I do know if the SciFi Channel can produce a miniseries about dragons and wizards ("Dark Kingdom" or some such thing I think it's called) I KNOW they can produce a Firefly related miniseries. And don't even get me started on the crap planned for the FOX network...

At this point I think that's what would happen. Anything new would be "related" to the original. Still set in the 'verse, still have some of the main characters but develope a new story line. I think Joss has said as much when asked about future possibilities.

But without so many of the original characters (Book and Wash because they're, well, indisposed, and Jayne because he's playing a cheesy cop) will Joss bother? Will it have lost its luster and lose his interest?
