Can you imagine? Six TV series and ten films?!?

Five TV series (with names slightly altered for Firefly):

Firefly
Firefly: The Animated Series
Firefly: The Next Generation
Firefly: Deep Space Niska (Niska's space station)
Firefly: Voyager
Firefly: Serenity

Ten films (ditto to above):

Serenity: The Motion Picture
Serenity II: The Wrath of Early
Serenity III: The Search for Wash
etc.
etc.
etc.

Worse yet. 'Coats would be defined as a class of folk too geeky to be defined. No offense to the Broncoat/Trekkies out there. Would just hate for 'coats to be wrongly classified. Browncoats are so diverse it is painful to try rememberin' where everyone comes from. Makes us more like family.

That would be nice. Except i don't know if i could really get into a Firefly series without Mal, Zoe, Simon, Kaylee, River, Jayne, or Inara (seeing as how Book and Wash are gone now). Or some or even one of those characters. But then again, that's probably what Trekkies said. lol

if Firefly were treated like Star Trek then...

the first movie wouldn't have come until ten years after the cancelation of the TV show

and the spin-off sequel TV show would come another 5-7 years after that movie...

I'm thinking we won't have to wait that long! LOL

Yeah... I just don't like much of Star Trek outside of TOS... and TNG... and.... DS9... Alright! I'm not very discriminate in my Star Trek. Sorry.

But, if we had Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock scenario, one of our characters would have to have kids, and yell at "Khan" for killing them... I mean, come on. We are about the original storylines of the Joss. I look at Star Trek when I want one of the most successful Sci-fi Series-ss-es-s ever. I look at Firefly, I want Firefly. Which means I want our BDH. If Firefly and Star Trek aired at the same times on different channels, I would have to TiVo Firefly and watch Star Trek, because my family wouldn't let me do the reverse.

Don't call me a bad Browncoat, please? I just have what I've been exposed to much more firmly, and what I watched because I think I saw the wrong mix of Sci-fi teasers. (Heheh... that's what happens when I think it's a vampire pyro flick... it took me a few episodes before I realized it was Whedon...)

May not be smart, and it may not please you, but you're definitely gonna see what I have to say.

Can you imagine Mal saying "Make it so."

Or Kaylee telling Mal that if you hook the thingy to the watchamacallit we can pass through the portal without creating an adverse vortex.

Yes. I do enjoy Star Trek. It has a place in my heart, but never mix these two. I'm am shaking just typing this.

Can you imagine Wash saying, "You presume I have feelings to hurt." This would rip a hole in the fabric of time and space.

Give me Kaylee's "I love my captain." or Jayne's "I'll be in my bunk."

Can you imagine Pecard yelling about space monkeys.

I will admit Gina Torres would look fine in those tight outfits they always seem to find for the ladies on Star Trek shows. No frumpy uniforms for their women. Sometimes I think they spray painted Seven of Nine's outfits on her. Yes I could see Gina in something like that. I'm sure Wash wouldn't mind. Good way to end this post with that thought in my mind.

I'll be in my bunk.

Well, i think the OP meant having that many films or series. Not "make it so" and whatnot.

And you are absolutely right, that would not be a good mix.

How wonderful would it be not only to have episodes we could judge as completely awful, but ENTIRE SERIES!

I would totally risk a few Voyagers and Enterprises for a Next Gen and DS9. I'd even be fairly comfortable with an ep where Mal's brain is removed and used to run a small planet.

I'm very new to this 'verse but I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend why some tv shows have been on for years, yet Firefly (and a few others) got killed after such a short time. (Hell, I'm still reeling over the cancellation of Lou Grant! ;)

It has to happen. There's some network out there that knows this. They have to. Right?

Walk tall, or don't walk at all...

I'd love it if we could get that much Firefly.

If Firefly was treated like Star Trek, they'd name the CEV "Serenity"!

(CEV is the Space Shuttle replacement.)

Also, Doctor Demento would play songs about it. Does anyone else remember "Star Trekkin'"?

Dead!

Of course, if Firefly were more like Star Trek, there would also be spoofs - oh wait there is - Mosquito!
