I'm with all of ya'll a little. I would love to see Wash and Book alive and well, but the series should go forward. I don't want to see River so messed up and I do want to see Simon and Kaylee together. the comic Joss Whedon did covered some of the gap between show and movie, but very superficially. I want to know who Book was before he was a shepard and I REALLY want to know why Inara left the temple and came to Serenity. The point is, the show never should have been cancelled, and we should all know this stuff already!

Yes, in a perfect 'verse without stupid ta ma de hun dans in charge. Pardon my Chinese. He chu-sheng za-jiao de zang-huo!
But it's not a perfect 'verse. So, with what we have...
You know, it is nice to see River sane, but she was so much fun spouting gibberish. What would she even be like sane?

I can't believe you would even ask that.

And where did the animosity between Simon and Mal come from? Things like that I want to see in a series. Which is why I say season 2 before the movie.

If I had to decide this is how I would do a Firefly continuation, maybe this might happen who knows.
First due to Firefly being canceled so early and the film not doing brillantly at the box office I reckon its unlikely someone will ask Joss to do a whole series.
So I was thinking if Firefly was given the green light it would be on a smaller budget, so Joss could do a mini-series (4-6 Episodes) set before the movie bringing us up to speed on events and allowing us to see some of the stuff intended for the end of series 1. (Dead of Alive :D)
How well this mini-series did would determine what happened next. Since this would be a smallish project there would be less risk for the company. If however it was a major sucess on TV and DVD then biggers things could be done like Firefly Series 2.

That would be very cool. That would be perfect!

Uhm, guys... you are aware that Joss has said many times that the movie was a condensed version of what Season 2 was going to be anyway, right? Story's been told. Joss doesn't seem to be the type to repeat himself, or disregard a story he seems quite satisfied with. Or do you really want to see Wash and Book die again? (though I can see some potential for Jossian meaness there. He'd probably decapitate Wash to silence those who don't beleive a telephone pole through the chest was fatal)
And for those who want to disregard the movie from continuity alltogether: The last thing FF/Serenity needs in order to survive is to go the splintered-continuity route that say, Highlander has.

I know there has been great discussion about if we get a Season 2, where to start. Before the movie or after. I say before because of this.
I watched Serenity this weekend, twice. The beginning is Simon getting her out of the Alliances medical facility. BEFORE they are on Serenity. The episode "Serenity" has them boarding the ship for the first time. AFTER he broke her out. So there is a jump in the movie that is what the series was about.
So why couldn't we have the series pick back up before the movie happened? I mean there's always Season 3 for Book and Wash to be gone because of the movie. And besides we know why Inara left from the series but we didn't find out why Book did. I'd like to see that, maybe find out why the Alliance was so willing to heal him, and see some of the adventures where Serenity had to hide out on Book's planet.
What do you think?
There are a few problems with your idea, as great as it is. For one, have you noticed that a few of the actors are getting on in age (ie- Ron Glass and Nathan Fillion)? The comics also filled in that gap of how and why Book left.
The movie Serenity also served as to what Season 2 would have been, albiet in two hours. So if we were to get a Season 2 now, it would technically be picking up where Season 3 would have been. Besides, I would rather see a continuation of the story, not a precursor.
We know how it all gets to that point, so now lets see how River handles being pilot, how Mal and Inara's romance continues, how Zoe handles Wash's death, and how Simon and Kaylee's new found relationship goes (plus whatever Jayne does will be a hoot to watch no matter what).

I would like to see it start back in where the series left off. There is way too much bitterness in Mal in the movie that wasn't there before. I think there are still a lot of holes to be filled in. I'd like to see season 2 as Joss planned it originally, leading up to the movie. Something happened in there that we didn't see. Also gives more time for us to see into the secrets that each of our BDHs has kept hidden to this point. Lots of story still to tell that just wasn't told in the first season or the movie.

I think instead of season 2 starting after the end of season 1 and before the movie, I think maybe flashbacks would be the way to go. The important things, like Book leaving and Inara actually leaving would be things I would think Joss would show in pieces when the time is right.
I do not think Joss would waste time with whole episodes or an entire season when we know Book and Wash's fate (as noted above by sadlittleking). Same thing with Simon and Kaylee, but flashbacks could really work depending on the episode.
Not only could flashbacks fill in the gaps but would include Alan and Ron in on the next movie and/or season. I believe they are contracted to do 3 movies.
