My thoughts - take em or leave em...
The show sounds like it might be good - might not - it's usually hard to tell just from the "premise". If I read the premise for Firefly I wouldn't think much of it - until I saw it and saw the characters developing... ya know?
Next, whether or not you think this show will be good, it is being made by two of the firefly crew. There's been plenty of times that the people with the money tell the people without the money - "okay, you can have what YOU want, after we get what WE want."
I think it would be great if the show did well. Having Joss and Tim on another hit show can NOT hurt the possibility of firefly comming back. Anything these guys can do to make Fox, the albeit evil but license-holding entity, happy and make them some more money is good for us. It might not happen at the same time but maybe a bit down the road people will be talking about those two guys... and all the money they've made. Maybe?
Next - I think it's a good idea that the studio see loyalty in Joss's flock. Whether or not you want to watch the show I think you should... for firefly's sake. Or at least make like you're watching it.
Wheather it's true or not if the studio see's that Joss has this large group of people willing to support his new project, that translates into dollar signs for them. And dollar signs are good!
I think we should all find forums for the new show and all keep our firefly avatars and sigs at the bottom. Discuss the show honestly and discuss how much we like that Joss is doing it. All the while making refferences back to Firefly. I think a large browncaot presence on the new shows boards could help us to win some new firefly supporters. People could be into this new thing without ever having heard of Firefly. This is a chance for us to win new soldiers!
I also think that Joss will probably work in some firefly refferences on the new show and it would be good for us to be pointing those out on f*x's boards.
And lastly the post from Joss himself. The skies thing was explained away and that's fine. But what about his comment about Eliza looking shiny... and then waking up from his little firefly dream?
I never met the man and wasn't really a fan of his before firefly but I gotta say... he doesn't seem like he's an idiot. He seems pretty smart to me. Pretty cunning! I wouldn't be suprised if he's already cooking up firefly plans.
Here's how I see it... he's back in business with the people that hold the Firefly license... this can't be all bad yet.
And a question... did Universal renew the Serenity license or did they let it expire. Wasn't it supposed to be up this past Sept.?
Like I said, take it for what it's worth.

I've seen a few episodes of Buffy and Angel. They just weren't my thing. I couldn't get into them at all. When Firefly came out, I didn't watch it. I heard Joss was doing it and I just wasn't interested. It wasn't until a friend showed Firefly to me on DVD that I was hooked. I've been a loyal Browncoat since.
I guess my point is I'm not excited about this. I guess you can't really call me a Joss fan...at least not of Buffy and Angel. His run on Astonishing X-Men was good...not great. It had some good stuff. I do like the free comic he did on myspace called Sugar Shock. That was great!
But all in all, I'm only interested in getting more Firefly and Serenity. The sad truth is this. The actors aren't getting any younger. Not that their old by any means, but can you really see a 40 year old Kaylee? If they're gonna do something, it needs to be within the next 5 years or so.
Just an opinion.

um...
I don't think he was referring to Firefly when he used the word shiny in this instance...

I remember I was having lunch with Eliza, and thinking she was shiny, so shiny... and then I woke up here. Weird.
And personally I took this to mean that he didn't plan to write a show,
he wasn't planning to go back to television yet,
Eliza Dushku hypnotized him and he came up with the show idea, agreed to be Exec Producer, and signed contracts all under the influence of her hypnotic suggestions...
Maybe I'm wrong, but that is how I took it.

Well... I kinda see your point there Embers... but did Joss ever use the term shiny before firefly? I'm not saying it means anything... just that it seemed to me he had firefly on the brain. Maybe not. Come to think of it... I'm not sure if it'd be a good idea for any of us to go TOO far into Joss brain anyway!

I would be surprised to hear that the first time Joss said the adjective 'shiny' he used it in Firefly....
He did have an episode of Angel entitled: "Shiny Happy People"
In Buffy's first season episode 'the Pack' Buffy says the zoo animals are "shiny and new"
on Buffy's Season 5 Buffy brought back the glowing orb from the Monk and the script says:
Quote:
Buffy reaches into her bag and removes the glowing yellow globe.
BUFFY
I put this before the group. What the hell is it?
GILES
It appears to be paranormal in origin.
WILLOW
How can you tell?
GILES
Well, it's so shiny.
BUFFY
Found it on patrol.
(so Giles calls things shiny)
In fact on Whedonesque they had a whole thread on the origin of 'shiny':
http://whedonesque.com/comments/8046
So you see I think that Joss feels free to use the adjective in non-Firefly references fairly regularly....

The more people see of our Big Darn Heroes' work, the more people want to see of our Big Darn Heroes' work...which leads them back to Firefly/Serenity.
That holds true for the actors and for Joss Whedon and Tim Minear.
Joss wants to do more Firefly/Serenity.
The actors want to do more Firefly/Serenity.
They all love working together.
The more popular Joss and Tim and the actors get...the more chance someone will realize there is money to be made.
Nathan hasn't even taken his shirt off yet on Desperate Housewives. 
And you know he's been working out.

Sounds more like Joe 90 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_90 meets Dark Angel.
Disturbing...
Didn't catch Joe 90, but yeah, Dark Angel is definitely in there. Of course, one might notice that all of these references are following (and partially inspired by) Ludlum's Bourne Identity from the early 80's. And the female lead version Long Kiss Goodnight.
But yeah, hope it all goes well and they make gobs of cashy money. I'll probably have to wait for the DVDs.

So this is what the afterlife is like eh? Reading that Joss, Eliza, and Tim will be working together. Good news indeed.
So... the questions...
If they start [working on the show]in Feb. Will this be a spring/mid season replacement?
Please FOX don't start them in the summer. That never works. I'd really rather wait until next September than have it start in the summer.
A man who walks the Earth
A more important question would be if Joss will actually be able to do it at all. Isn't he a member of WGA?
Aren't they about to go on strike?
Yeah. I hope it doesn't hurt it any.
