I’ve heard that Terminator, Castle & Dollhouse have all been renewed for another season. I haven’t heard anything about Chuck yet. I’m also posting a link to the gossip going around with the new “V” tv series on ABC. Morena & Alan both may appear ( Happy dance)

Thanks for the update V. The last I heard was that Terminator TSCC had been given another season. Guess I was misinformed.

Anyhoo, I’ve also seen posted on here that CHUCK is green-lighted for a third season which makes me happy because I like Chuck and Sarah and Casey is just a tad bit removed from Jayne ( personality wise I mean). So some of the tv shows I watch will still be around.

I'm really happy about Chuck! And very disappointed about TSCC. :( I'll miss Cameron and John every week.

I think Dollhouse should be given a chance. I came to Buffy and Angel very late in the game (after watching Firefly). Both Buffy and Angel took awhile to get going. I think Dollhouse has that potential.

As much as I'd like to see another BDM I've only had pessimism and discouragement for the last several years.

Now this one comes through. Okay, cautious skepticism is in order. But through all that is that faint glimmer of hope, the greatest of all treasures. If the economics come through with the "suits" getting on board, it could really happen.

Please let it be so. Oh please let it be so.

We have The Whedon, the finest group of ensemble players assembled in a very long time (True, they weren't well know), and a need to eat sometime this month. That's plenty enough for the creativity to shine like a nova in the dark skies of standard Hollywood drivel.

Is this enough? I do so hope it is.

The logic seems sound. Nathan is on prime time tv, on one of the big 3, and is becoming a more familiar, and therefore more marketable, face. Could Joss use him to leverage a sequel? Sure. Will he is the question.

I gorram hope so!

I have a few thoughts on this.

1. I can't imagine ever giving up hope. There's no reason to is there? I mean the worst that happens is we don't get it, and that's not a good enough reason for me, not when the opposite end, the reward, is so gorram amazing.

2. I don't think we need to wait for the actors to get "bigger." The only crew members I'd seen before Firefly were Alan (who's been in a million things) and Jewel (who was in a show on Nickelodeon ten years ago that ran for 2 seasons). They're all taking off, though. I'd even say that they're on their way to being "big" names. I'd think that with all of those "on the way up"ers with so much promise (more than they had before at least), Fox or Universal would love to be able to cash in on it, take them all that extra step at once. Could YOU say no to the opportunity to have the breakthrough movie/series for 9 actors/actresses?

3. Whether or not the crew and Joss are willing is not a question. At least I don't think so. I have a very hard time believing that any of them would say, "Mmmm, no, I don't think I want to."

I'd be really surprised if Firefly was resurrected, but it'd be awesome if it was. Film and television are the right mediums for it. Graphic novels/comic books are not.

I don't think TV's going to happen anytime soon, but a Serenity 2 movie's plausible. I know a LOT of people who became fans after seeing the movie on DVD, and who afterward bought the TV series also.

If there's a prequel, I want to see the civil war. Of course, that'd leave out most of the actors except for Nate and Torres--well, not necessarily left out as much as not required for the movie. Course, that'd also leave out the ship which ... yeah. Still, it'd be a cool story.

I'd much rather have a new story that takes place after Serenity. I'd miss Wash, but he could possibly still be present via some spiritual connection due to the telecommunication frequencies on the world where he died. That's how I'd bring him back if I was writing it anyhow. And for the fans, the villain would be someone from the TV show (a la "Wrath of Kahn).

If it was me, I'd have Niska put a bounty out for the heads of Mal and the rest of the crew. There'd be several people out for their heads including Jubal Early and Saffron along with several new characters most of which are easily disposed of but one who's on a level comparable with Early.

That's the movie I want to see.

I think Joss has got to this stage with the franchise;

``I'll do it again...my God, ofcourse I'd do it again...but they have to ask me..Im not chasing around anymore and getting my heart broken again.''

If Joss pushes that red button the crew will come back very, very quickly..
Think about this for a second. Would you pass up 50 days of `work' with guys like Nathan Fillion? Alan Tudyk? Ron Glass? Morena? Joss? Ofcourse you wouldnt!

Another bonus for Universal is that the actors have grown, but still won't cost them ridiculous Will Smith-type contracts. They will all come on reasonable deals.

Anything post-Serenity I would be happy with... With the help of an ever improving River, Mal and the crew investigate Blue Sun, dodge alliance and save an old friend.. What they uncover is more shocking than anything theyve dealt with before..

What we really need is some real, hard news to hit the web, rally the troops and show Universal exactly how much this fanbase has grown and what lengths we are willing to go to.

At the Atlanta Browncoats meeting this past Sunday, I made the following comment:

"If a TV station were to broadcast Firefly now, same time every week and everything, I bet it would be a huge hit. There would be people going 'Wow this is a great show! How come no one thought of this sooner?'" Then there would be the rest of the world, who already knew about it, shaking our heads and laughing.
