In your honest opinion, do you think Firefly will return?

As much as I loved it, no it isn't coming back as anything other than comics. Objectively it failed twice. We got our reprieve, but it turned into our coffin. From a financial stand point a studio would be nuts to invest in a twice failed endeavor. That is in fact insane repeating the same action and expecting different results. If I am wrong I would be the first to buy the new movie, series or cartoon. Sadly I don't think I am. Worse is all the current planned merchandise is a rehash of what already at least 4 years old, in short we are being hosed. I have all but stopped buying FF stuff.

Yes. But not soon.
Maybe in 100 years. Or 1000. Or sooner.
The fanfic is still killer. Every day.

It might depend on how well Dollhouse does if it does poorly in the ratings and gets cancled Firefly might come back.

I just found this thread and haven't read the entire thing, so apologies if I'm duplicative.
I don't see another movie either, and personally would prefer a series.
If nobody else has pointed it out, ALL of the cast have said they'd find a way to do it, even if it meant squeezing in between their other jobs. Dunno if they actually WOULD, especially as Nathan has a network TV gig, but I refuse to give up hope. The fact he's sneaking in references to FF says something is still with him...
I believe Joss has also said he'd do it if he could...dunno how long ago and of course he's got Dollhouse, but there's NO comparison!
Me, I have no idea. Despite it's short run and how long ago, I always remind myself that the audience is still here--and growing!--and that Star Trek came back!
Animation or comics? I wouldn't be interested.

I think it more likely that Firefly could get another chance if Dollhouse is a success rather than if it is a failure. Why would anyone give Joss another chance if they already think of Firefly as a failure and if Dollhouse fails too?

Remember Star Trek rebooted as an animated series before live action.
I've said it before: I'd love to work with Joss and put together an animated series for Firefly, but will not if the fans don't want it.

Anything is possible. Star Trek came back after almost 20 years off air. But a new Firefly would not be the same as the old Firefly because I doubt they could get the same gang together again since some charcters died and some actors are doing well. Book and Wash are dead and Nathan Fillion is doing well with Castle and the show would not be the same without those characters and Fillion as the lead.
But I would watch whatever they put together because I want to see more of that shiny verse.

Yeah this show is very expensive to produce. It has a lot of location shootings and CG and other stuff as well. But I remain hopeful that it will come back much like BSG and V after being off the air for like 2 decades. Who knows maybe in the future, production costs would be less.
