I'd vote for either brand new Firefly/Serenity with the BDHs [possibly 2 new members to replace the fallen].
OR
Something like 'Tales from the 'verse' - new characters, new adventures. Some or all of the BDHs appearing from time to time, singly or in groups.
OR
Very simple 'yarns' spun to camera/recording equipment by one or more BDHs. Could be podcast audio dramas.

My friend taimdala on LJ once said that the great thing about the Firefly'verse is it doesn't necessarily have to revolve around Serenity and her crew because there's a whole galaxy's worth of stories there. A spin-off series is completely possible here, so you don't need to recast actors. You just need a new story to focus on.

Joss said in an interview on Youtube that he could not make the same Firefly show ever again since many of the elements which made the show what it was are now gone, and he said I believe that it could come back to television, but not as the same show and it would have to be somehow derivative of the original Firefly. If you want to see what I am talking about go to Youtube and search for Joss Whedon Australia or something like that.

Can't help but be amused by all of this. If only you people had access to a time machine like me you wouldn't waste time with all this ridiculous speculation. *Sigh *Roll eyes for effect.
Joss gets five good seasons with Dollhouse. All the original Firefly cast happens to be available. Fox THROWS money at Joss and begs him to bring back the verse and the thing actually takes this time. Seven seasons and movies for fifteen years afterwards. In 2029 it's SERENITY IV- THE WRATH OF NISKA.
You guys are gonna be so pissed at me when this all comes to be.
You are an ugly-looking little quim. You know that?

I'd watch it, but I wouldn't want the characters replaced by different actors, I'd want all new characters. It's a great world with a nice story arc, there's a lot of potential there. If dollhouse fails and Joss wants to make another firefly story, I'm game, and the known characters can probably make guest appearances, but it should be a new story with new characters, and not just stand ins, not a new jayne, a new Mal, but totally different characters.

I haven't been waiting the years other people have, being a newcomer to the 'verse myself, so I'm not sure I know how to answer like a Browncoat yet. But at this point, I can't imagine anyone else filling the original cast's shoes (or boots). That sounds too much like compromise, and *that* sounds like... unification or something.
Maybe that's a compelling argument because I *AM* so new to all of this. It's not like I've been watching Firefly 3 times a year for the last 7 years with that cast in mind. I just started a few weeks ago, and even now I can't imagine placing other actors as those characters. I'd much rather have something along the lines of the "Tales from the 'Verse" (including guest star possibilities) that someone proposed earlier rather than replacing the cast, even though the former idea itself doesn't quite get me fired up.
I think it's got to be the original BDHs or no one... For what it's worth. ;)
