Don't blame me -- blame Jiminy Cricket! Besides, just 'cause the language is named for England, not America, what makes you so certain the English have the spelling right?

I'm not sure that I have any questions that I want flat-out answered, but I wonder if some of my ideas re off-base.
I don't think that FF is FTL for example, and I don't think the earth was "used up". I think it was pulled apart in some whacky experiment with gravity (FF does have artificial gravity) which accounts for all the planetoids and asteroids at about earth-distance from the sun...
But maybe I'm all wrong about that!

I can appreciate your fear. But answer this question: Discounting the TV-budget sets, wardrobe and supernumerary-sparse battle scenes, when you finally got a chance to see the 2-hour pilot, "Serenity", didn't you think you'd just seen a terrific stand-alone movie? I did. I'm something of a film lover, and I thought it was witty, touching and with never a misstep in the story or its pacing. If they'd spent $50M on the scenery and other details, it would have been a blockbuster in the theatres. That's what Firefly: Serenity is going to be. A theatrical-grade Joss Whedon/Tim Minear story; not the same story, but a story only they can tell, as only they can tell it. I, for one, am very excited; I know JW and TM are going to do us proud. Even though I expect them to give us pretty solid answers to some of these questions, I also expect that the movie will amaze us, as well. I've got a feeling...
Hits like "The Sixth Sense" and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" have proven that a significant portion of the moviegoing public are looking for something more than just formulaic drivel for their entertainment dollars. Firefly: Serenity will give them that 'more', in spades.
Fly baby, fly. Make your Mama sigh!
I'm not disputing any of that ;) I loved every ep. I suppose the main thing I'm worried about would be giving in to the temptation to put too much in the one movie. I look at Firefly as a televised novel, really, as opposed to a TV show, and as long as they don't try to put too much of the book into a single 2-hr movie, I'll be happy :)
If you can survive death, you can probably survive almost anything.
