As long as it's not shot in the Malibu hills. Too MASH/Airwolf.

Oklahoma can be nice. We have trees, and rocks, and caves, and ooh and old beat up towns...why doesn't anyone shoot in Oklahoma? In June it should be about 95 with humidty at 80. That's not as bad as August.

As a New Yorker who still lives in NYC, I can honestly ask ... Why the hell would Joss film "Serenity" in NY anyway? For starters, it's like twice as expensive to do anything here than anyplace else except California (which explains why businesses are bailing out of CA like rats leaving a sinking ship 
) Also, you have to probably grease a whole lot of NY wiseguy palms. Then, to add insult to injury, you have all the damn overly-powerful unions breathing down your neck with their hands out. All-in-all, not a friendly business environment, unless you have shields up and weapons armed 
At least in Vancouver, I can't imagine you have to deal with the same brigade of jerkoffs that you would in NY. I think it's supposed to be a lot cheaper to do movie work there, too (which explains why everybody films in Vancouver nowadays.) Anyway, good luck JW.
They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....
Oh yeah, 
you, FOX TV!!

No, no, no, Mr. Whedon sir! You want Oregon! We have wilderness, we have desert, we have mountains, we've got seashore, all within a 1-3 hour drive of a good-sized city (Portland) and we're real close to Los Angeles! Plus we've got all kindsa professional crew that work cheap-ish, and I'd make you dinner. Sir.

Okay, aside from all the other stuff you said, my "why in hell's name would you film in NYC?" is more along the lines of "where the hell are they supposed to BE that's going to look like NYC?"
You can make other cities/backlots look like bits of NY, but I've never seen anyone able to make New York look like anything other than New York.
Upstate --- I'm willing to (grudgingly) give it the ol' "wait and see", simply because it could just be the setting for a planet with more of a woodsy feel than a desert feel, which we've gotten quite a lot of.
But yes! I'm with the Texas/Oklahoma people, partially cause I'm in Oklahoma
, and partially cause between those two states, you've got every type of landscape under the sun except very high snowy mountains. And both places are verycheap for filming, labour, & housing. And we're much friendlier. I will admit, I have serious NY/LA issues, in that as cities, they seem to think that they're the only cities that matter in the nation. That's really a whole other rant though...

Hey, I totally agree. Many people here in NYC are a bunch of self-involved, reality-show-watching, cell-phone-abusing mouth-breathers. Remember, this is the locale for "Friends", and we all know what those vacuous morons are like.
Ahem, anyway, as far as the whole variety of landscapes in Oklahoma/Texas thing, I'll take your word for it. Whatever helps Joss spend more money on post
