I've read most of the postings here but I'm a little pressed for time so I'll post this and get to the rest later. I did want to put my 2 cents in.

From the begining I really got the vibe that Joss wasn't in to WW. Sorry if that hurts anyones feelings but it's JMO. I've read what he's posted on Whedoncom and I just don't see heartbreak there. If this is giving him the chance to move on to ANY other project that he IS more in tune with then I think it's great! I'm with him all the way and I know the browncoats haven't given up on any FF/Serenity works that I would love to see come up.

Joss didn't compromise himself on FF or Serenity and I don't think he should on WW,if his heart wasn't into it. If he hadn't given full effort to FF and the BDM we wouldn't love them as much as we do. You can always tell when someone Cherishes their "Baby" and when they do not.

On a related note, one has to wonder what would happen to the fanbase if something happened that crushed all hope. I reckon these boards would be a mite emptier...

We've certainly had some "happenings" that have come close, haven't we?

-The "No Serenity Sequel Ever" Rumor, when Joss was misquoted in almost every "news" link on the web

-The Universal Legal Department's crackdown on Unlicensed Vendors, which alienated a lot of Folks from the 'verse

-The infamous Cancellation of FLAN II

-And now this.

But Guess what? We're still here, still strong!

-Joss denied the no Serenity EVER rumor by simply saying "If someone writes a check..."

.

-The Vendors backed down a bit, the Legal Department did too, and you can still satisfy your need for 'verse Pretties, be they Licensed or fan made

-The wonder that was B3... need I say more about That?

-And now, Joss has options he can pursue, and he will. We just have to Hold; Hold until our time arises again. When, and in what form that will be... who knows? Joss did indeed say it best:
"The Journey is the Worthier Part"

I have both good and bad memories of this Journey we're on, but I won't trade it for ANYthing!

no its called common sense. If a movie doestn do well in the box office, studios are less prone to hire you. I dont have a crystal ball, but you have a really lame sense of humor.

Actually I think he meant typoing "exiting" (leaving now) for "exciting" (woohoo).

One describes Joss' career. The other most certainly does not.

I'm with the Good News crowd on this. Mabye not enough millions of people went to see Serenity in the theaters to generate a box-office mandated sequel, but now many more millions have seen the movie on HBO, and Netflix, bought all the DVD's and are hungry for more. Joss knows this...With potential release date of Christmas 2009, with big-time sequel promotion effort like so many un-deserving films always seem to get, Firefly's 'verse could become really hot and then spawn another tv series.

Well, I no longer have any interest in seeing WW. I'm big into comic book movies, but I can't imagine this turning out well without Joss. Now I'm picturing it something like Catwoman (which I admittedly haven't seen). Joss could have pulled it off because he knows how to make powerful women characters that don't look ridiculous. WW is a cool character in comic books, but in the flesh it's hard to get past that outfit. She looks like a patriotic dominatrix.

Or maybe I just don't get it because I'm a chick.
