I never saw OMWF (NOT a fan) so I can't comment on that but I just can't see it happening with the crew. Especially Jayne and Zoe. (especially Zoe. Don't see her breaking out into song considering) So no, I wouldn't want to see it. I think I'd lose a little respect for my BDH. Ok, a LOT of respect. River though, well she'll break into anything.

However thanks to another thread I read (I think the Urban Myth thread) someone mentioned Grease and NOW all I can see is them doing Grease in space.

Mal/Tony, Wash/Keniki/, Zoe/Rizzo, Inarah/Sandy, Jayne and Simon 2 of the Thunderbirds (take your pick), Kaylee/Frenchi, River/(damn I can't remember her name and I'm a longtime fan. The brunnette in pigtails) and Book, he'd be out of place, maybe he can sing that song to Frenchie in the Soda shop, or be the female mechanic teacher (although male of course). Saff could be the other Pink Lady (damn my memory). Crow can be the guy Tony races for pink slips. Or purple slips. Or the cop in the Message can be. Tracy can be the other Thunderbird. It can all take place in and around a moon or planet that has a space station.... there could be another Shindig that Mal/Tony takes Inarah/Sandy, and Nandi could be the girl who grabs Mal/Tony and starts dancing with him making Inarah/Sandy leave...... ARRRGGGH! See what I mean? I can't stop. And it's all there in my mind. Gorramit thanks alot whoever put that in my head.

So maybe I CAN see them doing it. But it'll have to be total parody or it won't work.

"Your the one that I want." Gorrammit!

Yay... The girl in pigtails is Jan! Yes - it's be worth it just to see River in cute bunched up pigtails!

I thought you were all startin' to take this way too seriously

I don't really think that Joss would do it in a million years - but it's fun to fantasise!

Anyway - it's a hypothetical topic about a hypothetical episode of a hypothetical series which hypothetically won't happen for many, many years to come... hypothetically speaking...

Come on - there are heaps of threads here that people fantasise about their role on board Serenity - I too have my share of tasty fantasies... but this is just harmless fun! Give it a go! Make me giggle!! ... we could all use a giggle once in a while... I certainly need one about now...

Gotta agree with Magdalena here. Might as well have fun with it, seeing as it most probably wont happen. I can definitely see another episode with singing, a musical would be a bit strange, but it could work. Imagine this...they come to a planet where everyone are into the creative arts, writing, painting, etc... And they decide to put on a musical of the pasts of all the charactes. And the crew decides to join in the fun... It's possible! (And the job turns out to be the money they get for being in the play) It's just an idea...

Set to "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera

Mal:
Before I was a soldier,
before the gorram war,
I was...a simple farmboy,
with love a big family.

The farmhands raised me up strong,
but so did my ol' ma,
and now, I use their advice,
to guard me and to guide me.

Captain of a firefly,
tall and so strong,
how I long for my sweet childhood,
raising goats and milking cattle,
anyway, those days are over now,
I'm a captain and I'm proud.

Now who said I wasn't having fun? Did you READ me post? The respect part was not serious and....

Nevermind.

Mistress Sahara, I never said you weren't having fun!! Just thought the overall tone was a bit too serious for me! I love the idea of a Serenity crew does Grease episode... Mwaaah!!

LOL!! I love it One Man...! This is why I jump on occassionally! To get a giggle whilst supporting my BDHs... also I don't think I have a life at the moment! Haven't left the house for almost a week due to an injury I done myself! Never mind - you've made my day!

Hey - would we have to change the words at all if River did 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' ... maybe just change it to 'River in the Sky...' ??

Mark Shepherd could pop in to do some really old time music hall numbers... 'My old Man said Follow the Van...' or instead he could do, 'If I were a rich man...'

Oh - Niska could sing the sadistic dentist song from 'Little Shop of Horrors...???

Anyone got more ideas...?

I was referring more to Milgram...I'm sorry if it came out like I was referring to you. I should have been more specific. Glad to see you're having fun!

Maybe as a non-canonical DVD extra. I don't know how well the crew could sing though. Ron Glass would probably be great. I could imagine him singing old man river.

"The people who made the show, and the people who saw the show, which is roughly the same number of people, fell in love with it, a little bit too much to let it go, too much to lay down arms when when the battle looked pretty much lost. In Hollywood, people like that are called unrealistic, quixotic, obsessive... In my world, they're called Browncoats."

What about a Christmas special? Doctor Who has them.

Some people have never seen "Paint Your Wagon" staring Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood, and Jean Seberg. If they can get Clint and Lee to sing, a slight shiver runs through me, you never know who will be next. And I promise you Jayne would sound better than Clint singing about trees.
