Hell yeah (everyone waking up from a nightmare, and Tim yells out "buffy!")

I think Simon Pegg has said there are no immediate plans for a third season, but they would like to do one more. I'm guessing that provided Shaun of the Dead does well in the US, they'll be concentrating on the movies though (heard that before somewhere)

Okay, I agree with the idea that we want as many people as possible to watch Firefly and Serenity, even Star Wars fans. And while bashing for the sake of bashing is a bad idea (and in bad taste), people are definately entitled to their own opinions on the new Star Wars trilogy.

Let's face it, the new trilogy has been at least as big a disappointment as the new Matrix movies. I would say even a bigger disappointment, since the Matrix movies at least had good special effects and no Jar-Jar.

On the other hand, Episode I and II aren't -bad- movies. Although the acting and computer animation has been generally poor, the stories, action, and lightsabre battles have been fun. The problem is...these movies aren't supposed to be just average, they're supposed to be STAR WARS, and they're not. They don't live up to the name. The originals are cherished classics, while the new movies will probably be looked back on as 'Oh, just something else that came out that year.'

I love Star Wars, and that's the problem. I don't see this as Star Wars bashing, but rather Star Wars defending.

By the way, I do agree that Star Wars (ep. IV) and Empire Strikes Back are by far the best of the original trilogy. The slide started with Jedi, although that one was still very good..it's much better than either ep. I or II.
