I know it was appallingly soap operaish, but that's pretty much what the genre calls for.

Yeah, I always wondered why trash like The O.C. survived but the 'Verse got axed. But I doubt they'll breathe life back into Joss's world(s) purely because some dodgy sop got shown the door.

In fact, I can't put my finger on exactly why we went in the first place. I can only assume it was the out-of-order episode showing during irregular programming hours (I believe minor league baseball was on at the same time or something) combined with F*X not liking the show and Sarah Michelle Gellar's departure from Buffy prompting F*X to boot Firefly because they assumed only Whedonites were watching it and without Gellar in one completely unrelated series, no-one would watch the 'Verse.

Yeah, they should bring back Firefly, except Joss has said he is never working with their dumb asses again. Who can blame him, really?

hell yeah they should. do you think renaming the show to serenity would help bring the show back. maybe it would make the prducers at fox think there getting something new


Someday the verse will spit in your soup but at least they gave you soup.
one day
one plan
one mission
one army of browncoats
june 23rd serenity day

-Our mission as browncoats is to make us known.

Somebody should bring back Firefly. Probably not the original network, though. Would you really trust them with it again?

"OK, we'll bring it back if you focus on River because she's young and pretty. Everyone else gets relegated to moving scenery status. Find her a boyfriend and make it about their farcical dating problems. We'll have the ship crash land on an island where strange people are being mysterious, bring in a singing/dancing troupe of forensics experts, and kill everyone off by audience vote each week."

Ugh.
