Sorry like, but thanks for answering, nothing worse then posting something like that and being bypassed
They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive.
I guess we're all allowed to be sensitive when it comes to Firefly, me included. Now we're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.
If we can have a British Serenity too, I think David Tennant would make a great Mr Universe but I couldn't stand to have him killed near the end.

would the alliance remain called the alliance?
maybe it'll be called the commonwealth or something (sterotype to the max!!)

Would it have a Sherlock Holmes or Slapstick like Red Dwarf, British movies have their own style and charm, for a while some could seem stuffy with their own stage actors and stage director they had a bunch of comedy series like Carry On! then came horror and less censorship the Hammer Films commercially successful horror films, suddenly Michael Caine was uin everything sometimes realism and sometimes it was the success of the cheesy Bond Franchise, some movies had cross British United States production and writer talent, Dr Strangelove, 2001 Space Odyssey, the old detective Sherlock Holmes repeats as a character throughout many movies, Hope and Glory they do war and comedy well surviving the blitz, period pieces done well in The Madness of King George, Zulu (1964 film, Khartoum a 1966 British epic war film, they can do the foreign exotic location in Slumdog Millionaire, would reavers be more like 28 Weeks Later?
I don't think British Monarchists get the whole Frontier thing, they don't do that whole Space Frontier very well or Cowboy...Italy maybe just maybe and Aussies or Canada perhaps and maybe even Japan but British movies, no.
There is something unique about US film Pocahontas meets Battlestar, a lot of others don't have it.
they would be the global alliance and work to defend British Oil Exec
