Kewl, OTB. After reading your post, I looked around, and damned if I didn't find it on Netflix! Oboyoboy, I'm in for some fun. Never even heard mention of it after it was gone, and I missed it something fierce. I didn't find out about Firefly until last year, so I didn't have that to compare it to (NOT that there's a comparison!). So I've got it coming--eight discs, O Boy! I owe you a thank you.

Done ! I consider your comments a kindness...
The boxset may be had , and I've seen it at a good price point from time to time...
You're right...You are in for some fun !
Keep Flyin' !

My bet is Buffy webisodes based on motion-comix. Or so I've heard...
Longer-term, more Dr. Horrbible isn't a stretch. I'd LOVE to see him finally do something more in the Buffyverse, but I'm not sure the rest of the world is "there" yet for more Firefly/Serenity stuff. Which is sad, really, 'cause it would be my very favorite stuff of his to see brought back.
I love the Buffy/Angel stuff, but I feel they got to tell their stories, while Firefly never really did.

Heard that as well. Though I hope he's gone more than that on tap.

Fascinating discussion, if for no other reason than to pose the question, "When do say, 'Enough. It's not gonna happen.'"

Looks like the JonnyQuest/Causal ticket ain't quite a winner , being that you haven't quite brought that 'brighter tomorrow' to this discussion...
Lookie here , it was about ten years between the demise of classic Star Trek and the advent of the first Trek movie , and despite a relatively smallish splash being made by that picture , Folk carried on , persevered , and kept the faith in anticipation of many more Trek outings...
All that , without even the benefit of popular Internet...
Time is on our side , even if permaybehaps the economy isn't quite , yet...
It was also about 18 years between ROTJ and the Star Wars prequels , and a similar time elapsed between Indy3 and Indy '4'...
Then there's the Sherlock Holmes phenom ; a long while elapses between takes on that subject matter , but that doesn't deter anyone who's a fan...
Classics endure...Firefly Forever !

And Joss did say we'd know what his next gig was before the Dollhouse finale aired....
My personal wish, my "Best Case Scenario" under the circumstances, is this:
The brakes were just pulled recently on a fourth Bourne movie. It being Universal's primary franchise right now, word was that they were looking for other potential franchise films to fill the void in their Summer 2011 schedule Bourne has created. This is apparently at least partially behind the recent movement on another Riddick movie. But it seems to me, this may be just the perfect time to bring back Serenity - as the fanbase has only grown since.
Highly unlikely... but it's what I'm hoping for.
Albuquerque works , too...
I actually got to thinking Albuquerque , too , because they filmed so much of Earth2 not far from there...ABQ has good airline service , also .
The Los Alamos / Socorro area might work , as well...New Mexico would be a great place to do all the new Serenity / FF shoots because of the " di-'Verse " scenery...
StarRanger things have happened...I wouldn't be surprised if Cowboys & Aliens were shot there...Point of Fact , I'd be surprised if it weren't...

Movies not involving our heroes
...The trick is to get Universal to pull the trigger on putting together a package that would allow everyone to win. The studio knows these guys have a cult following and their mainstream popularity has grown in recent years.
Let's not forget Mr. Universe; his show Numbers is still going strong. Although technically not a BDH, he is a part of the overall FF family.
Prequel anyone?
The other mediums are more likely, but most especially the comic book or graphic novel of our fav preacher.
Just a thought!
SGG
All good thoughts , though I admit a SyFy aversion...Considering the shape that NBC/Universal is in right now , I don't feel that SyFy is best choice of home or future for Serenifly , though if it was monetized correctly , it could help them turn things around...
Here's an idea for a 'prequel' film :
UNIFICATION WAR
Lots of possibilities there , even for sequels , which would eventually lead back to the BDH's of the 'Verse...
