So you would prefer that the movie "Serenity" function just like the pilot "Serenity"? More questions, and no answers? I can't concieve of a person who would want that. That is not what a movie should be. Joss promised "one giant pay-off" at an LA convention last december, and that's what I'm wanting and expecting.

And I agree that the worst ending would be all the loose ends wrapped up. I want as much Firefly as possible. Hopefully 7 good seasons after all three movies. That'd be nice.

A trilogy of movies would be a dream come true. Thing is, after that there would be nowhere for a tv series to go. Perhaps a spin-off, but there's no way we're going to see the return of "Firefly" as we knew it.

Settle down Joe. Your hard-bitten, voice of reason crap has come and gone from this board many times, most of the time telling us how silly we were to hope for more Firefly. 'Just get over it' they'd say, 'accept it'. Yeah, whatever.

Ah, I don't know about that. Joss did seven seasons of Buffy, five seasons of Angel whilst generally keeping a high calibre of story throughout. Yes, I know that a trilogy of films isn't the same as a couple of series of a TV program, but the fact remains is that Joss can create an awful lot of ideas, storylines etc. for a series. Therefore, why not with a continuation of Firefly after the films?

The worst ending for the movie that I can think of is...

Fox thanking us for our years of loyalty and comitment.

That would tick me off more than the one the WB did.

Now the scary thing is, if Fox still owned the rights to Firefly, that might happen.

heh. that would be like Nickelodeon thanking Invader Zim fans for being a constant pain in their ass. they have basically flung the IZ DVDs out in a "take the stuff and stop bothering me" manner.

Fox would never survive. if they piss of Joss Whedon fans like that. generally we are smart, cynical, and worst of all, creative. the last one is death for the ones who put out all the freakin reality shows and "when animals attack the world's scariest police chases caught on tape 5".

now ending Serenity like they ended the X-Files film (ie. bulid-up, build-up, build-up, build-up, watch Fox) would suck so much it would both suck and blow

The credits. As long as it never reaches the credits I'll be happy.
