On the other hand, in actuality, I might not like it.

You're right--Firefly ain't Hamlet. Hamlet is a gorramn play written by Shakespeare, who meant for multiple people to play the part, not just one. Who can really speak for Joss? None of us can...we're just not that shiny. (sorry, the Hamlet thing kinda hit a chord--I recently got that play hammered into me!)

Yes, I would watch it. Two reasons; Joss & it is a the 'verse I love. I love the cast too, don't get me wrong, and I highly doubt that any ensemble could ever hope to rival the chemistry and magic our BDHs had, but I love the Firefly premise and the 'verse that Joss created. So, if some network put up a spin off or a recasted Firefly, I would watch it.

hmm...well ignoring the fact that Joss would never let that happen...I'd at least give it a chance, because it'd still be written by Joss.

I'd watch it in a second (assuming the creative minds were the same). Because I want more "Firefly."

Much as I LOVE the cast, and would much prefer that they keep the same cast, if the only way to do it were with all new folks, I'd be there in a second. Heck, Buffy was re-cast, and it seemed to work out pretty well for the replacement.

Also, while I'd definitely support a spinoff, I'd rather see Joss come back to OUR characters and OUR story, since we clearly ain't done with 'em yet! I wouldn't want that tale finished lamely (like, for example, "Millennium," which, after cancellation, finished it's story arc pretty weakly in an episode of "X-Files").

Yep I'd watch. Assuming Joss is still at the helm that is.

He's the only reason I started watching Firefly in the first place. The previews made it look totally forgetable at the time. The Train Job didn't exactly pull me in. I stuck with it because I trusted Joss.

I'm sure the first time seeing Firefly with different actors and actresses would leave a sour taste in my mouth, but if Joss was there I'd stick with it. The man knows his craft.

I think this thread brings up an interesting side question.

Although it won't happen: Would you rather see Firefly with Joss and a new cast (same characters) or with the full cast, but no Joss?

I would tune in for an episode if the show was recast, but not only did Joss write the script. it is almost if the cast of firefly was with him inside his head. like he knew who they were before even having them cast in his show in the first place. without the original cast the show would not be the same especially not for the original independents like us. we need the cast back and Joss as well. i dont care how they do it. the next episode could be river realizing she just woke up from a crazy dream. i dont care bring firefly back.
