It's been 6 years since Firefly, the show seems dated and other series are better now...

okay...like they told me to...count to 25...then reload.. lol...
I caught only two episodes of this show in initial airings, then the BDM..but that first episode had me hooked. No matter what (and I love Atlantis as well and some Trek) Firefly is always gonna remain my truer love. There was just so much more to care about. Even with only 14 episodes....
put it this way...I've never written Trek fic, and I'm a Trekker from waaayyyy on back.
The show lives on, for all of us!

I think that it's very telling that despite the fact that Fox did everything in it's power to sabotage Firefly, (playing the eps out of order, moving the time slot almost every week, etc.) that the show has more fans today than it did when it was on the air.

There's no doubt that the show is a winner, but had the misfortune to hit a LOSER network like FOX. The only show they've ever given a chance to work was BOnes, which is a good show, btw.

WEll, that and the gift to all star search fans "American Idull".

I hoped for a while that the show would come back, in all seriousness, but with so many of the BDH's doing well in other places, I don't see it happening. At least not with the original actors.

It's a shame, too. Might still get another movie, though that's not the same as a weekly series.

BTW, Chris, sneaky way to get attention, ROFL. Good idea. isall

The ONLY reason I ever watched Walker was 'cause Sammo Hung guest-starred in a crossover ep from Martial Law!!! I SWEAR!!!!

Well.....Dark Angel's first season comes about as close as a show ever has....

The last few seconds of Journeyman was better than anything Quantum Leap ever did. But you don't see me saying it was better.

I agree with everyone else(like there was a doubt). I'll even go so far as to say that even IF Joss ever brings Firefly back in some form on TV it wouldn't be as good. Even with all the original cast, crew, writing staff... fans... It still wouldn't be enough to capture what Joss and crew made with the first bit. I can see it being better sometimes than an episode or two of the first season. No way it'll ever capture the emotions of Firefly. And I seriously doubt Firefly will ever return. At best we'll get another series in the 'verse in a few years. Firefly is over.. but the story ain't. The characters have alot more to tell I feel. Joss knows this, or he wouldn't even bother doing comics(which btw I'm not really a huge fan of).
