I would pay an awful lot of money to have a new Firefly series made. [Can anyone at Univeral hear me!] Now, I don't know if a new series will ever be made. I can hope, but I can't know. But I would eagerly tune into a new series, even knowing that Wash and Book were gone. [BTW, I will always be bummed we didn't find out who the heck Book really was. An old operative, member of parliament, high military? Hmmmm] Anyway, the best part about Joss Whedon is that he understands progression. If the series were still on today entering its fifth season, I'm sure, just like in Buffy, that someone in the crew would have already died. Maybe more than one. New characters would have been introduced. Would Saffron become a part of the crew? Jubal Early? In Buffy, Angel and Spike both started out one way, and evolved. Core characters died. Others changed dramatically. What I'm saying is that change is good. As attached as we get with certain characters, we're missing out from other, just as neat characters, when we insist that nothing change, and the cast remain static. Most of all, here's hoping WE GET THAT CHANCE!

Of course they should. That isn't the question.

The real question is how to get the Powers that Be to get the ball rolling.

We did it before with a tremendous effort on a number of peoples parts.

With the various particulars in the middle of other really big projects right now, getting a green light on a new series/movie isn't at it's most fortuitous point.

Maybe after Joss gets the Wonder Woman thing out of his system, we can try and rally the troops and get another episode out of our Big Damn Heros.

I have read that Joss and Alan had talked/decided that Wash should be killed off in the second season of Firefly. I'm with you Wash lovers, but I don't think that his loss is the end of the story, or would change it enough to ruin it. I think a "similar" type of character would be introduced ie: someone who makes us giggle. It would have been interesting to see how Zoe interacts with the new "funny" crew member in the midst of her grief. I would have liked to have seen how Zoe would have changed through the grieving process. As we saw with other Joss shows, death is just part of life, and the most important thing about death is seeing how the living go on living after losing someone they love. That sounds totally confuzzled, but you probably get the point. Now we just need to enlist more Browncoats so that getting more Firefly is a given.

Actually, that's singular, only Buffy died. And even then, she was brought back.

When we consider the core characters of Buffy (Buffy, Xander, Willow, Giles - the original four) they all were throughout. It was only the characters that got added later that were killed and even then a lot of those survived (eg Oz, Wesley, Cordelia, etc).

Angel got sent to Hell, came back and then left. But, he still survived throught his show (go figure). Doyle only lasted a few eps, so I'm of the opinion that he's not a core character in that series.

Though I'm only 3/4 through the 1st season of Angel, I'd be surprised if anyone significant died (ie core characters - Angle, Cordelia and Wesley).

Change is good. I certainly agree. But, it has to be organic. The kind of thunking that is involved in the changes that we'd get would be quite harsh.

I'd like more Firefly in any way they could provide it, although ideally I would have liked the series to be continued with the original cast and ignoring the movie. I'd watch even if there were a new cast, though, or if movies were released rather than television eps...

However...I HATE being obsessed with a show that's being released one episode a week. I just hate that. That's why I never watched Firefly when it was on television. I figured I'd wait a few years for it to be completed and then watch all the DVD's at my leisure, without obsessing about what was going to happen each week. Of course now I realize that that thinking isn't so good for the show as it's being aired...

I'd love another show, not a picture, because the figures have more time to evolve in a TV series(to tell a whole, interesting story in 90 minutes needs so much action and does not leave enough time for the characters ...).

Why not having it cover the time between the series and the movie? There would be plenty of things to tell (how Inra left, how Book left, who he were etc.)

I don't want to spoil anything but the bodycount does get pretty high before it's over.
I vote big YES to more firefly. Reconciling the events of the movie, while challenging, is not an insurmountable feat for a great writer. These are exactly the type of challenges that make Joss a genius.

I'd vote NO - the magic is gone and the show would never be as good if resurrected.

You can't step into the same river twice and the show was yanked out of that river too long ago, and I can't stop grieving over it. :(

I guess it's because for me the magic was gone in BDM already - I liked the storyline and I was very impressed with how things turned out with our heroes - but I'd rather read the script or imagine it all in my head than rewatch it: the heroes, the ship don't look and feel the same, don't feel magical for me any longer, except for a few moments. Something was missing there, and the movie was shot just 2 years after the show, and now there're 4 years...

But I haven't seen Buffy etc., so maybe the folks who are saying that Joss can pull off a radical change have something there...

There has to be at least another movie or series because if there isn't either then we we'll not be talking about Firefly/Serenity in a few years,it will always be remembered as the flop TV series and the flop movie and we don't want that to happen do we.We want their to be another movie or series so that this time it will be popular and continue the story.We NEED another series or movie.

This is about to get interesting...Define interesting...Oh GOD oh GOD we're all going to die.
