Kimber, I'm not sure why you thought your original post made any sense. You quote one, and only one, comment at that site, and it just happens to be a negative one. What about the many positive comments above it, and the fact that 91% who have responded to the poll have asked for a Serenity sequel rather than another Riddick movie. That is what you should have been focusing on, not the lunatic who can't appreciate the awesomeness of Serenity.

Always accentuate the positive or else people around here will brand you a troll.

I always thought that Serenity was an absolutely great jumping-off point for a feature film franchise, and every subsequent movie would boost DVD sales of the earlier ones, so each movie didn't HAVE TO make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office on opening weekend, but instead would be a long-term investment that would end up being worth billions.

After all, how much do you suppose Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek rights were worth the day after the show was canceled? And what do you suppose they're worth today?

What Firefly and Serenity need is a studio or network that's looking for long-term growth and investment, rather than the short-term, instant-gratification kind of payoff that Hollywood is so desperate for.

Pity I don't see it happening any time soon. :(

Sweeping generalizations are always wrong!

In this economic situation, they're really looking for instant gratification. The box office numbers need to be good. Regardless, I think a potential sequel tp Serenity would do well at the box office. Apart from the much expanded fan base since Serenity's theatrical release, there also happens to be the matter of the cast becoming better known (yes, still mainly for television shows, but mainstream ones like Terminator and Castle; people will be more interested because of it)

See, in this economic situation, I'd think people would be more interested in a SAFE economic bet and long-term investments, but it seems Hollywood is still looking for the ginormous blockbuster that hits the billion-dollar mark on opening day.

I chose that comment because I know that here we all appriciate the awesomeness of Serenity, we focus on the positive. The point I was trying to make was that something was wrong since there hasn't been any talk about sequels given the 91% and the rest and maybe we should also take a look of what is against us, not to be discouraging but to be realistic. You can't exclude the possibility of someone/some persons at universal sharing this opinion, because if that's the truth, we need to do something. That's all. We need to misbehave.

Uh yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I said in the post before yours.
