Yes, I have been trying to forget that. Didn't care for it when it was originally broadcast, but I guess I should revisit it on DVD to see if my opinion might change.

I liked it for the stories & original cast voices.
I put it on when I'm doing other stuff so I don't have to look at the lame Filmation animation so much.

So a Firefly the Next Generation.

We see a aged Kaylee sitting outside with the Serenity rusting away behind her. A young female with woreout coveralls meanders by.

"You're going to buy her," Kaylee calls out.

"This heap!" the female replys.

"She'll surprize you," Kaylee returns with her winning smile.

That's the plan.

Can someone please explain to me how they think the success of 'The Avengers' will lead to any possibility of a Firefly continuation?

I don't think that the popularity of a director has as much pull as you'd think in that regard, especially on something that's already been tried and failed. Sure, if Spielberg decided to make a TV show there would probably be a huge number of viewers initially but if it wasn't good it would go down the drain just as fast. Since Firefly already failed in terms of ratings, I don't see fame for Joss doing that much to bring it back.

Joss was already pretty well known in TV land for Buffy and Angel which were mighty successes. Initially that actually turned me off Firefly because I didn't like Buffy/Angel and the thing was basically marketed as 'From the creater of Buffy and Angel' so...yeah.

ANYWAY, I don't know if I'd even want a 'reboot' without the original cast. A big amount of what I liked so much about Firefly and what gave it much of it's magic was the cast and their characters both individually and as the family/crew dynamic they had going. So a proper season 2 with everyone back would be my main hope, futile as it may be.

I have to agree with the comments about the fact that Firefly/Serenity is mentioned a whole lot around the place and seems to have grown a lot across the years instead of dwindling or being forgotten completely which kind of makes me wonder why, with all the crap they put on TV, do they not give it another shot. I suppose people's hope for 'The Avengers' is that people might go 'Oh, this Joss guy is interesting, let's check out his previous work' and check out Firefly...possible, I suppose.

My hope is for a spin-off with Zoe getting her own ship finally. Plus, Gina Torres is one of the more available actors from the show.

Personally, I think that Firefly being mentioned so much is that it was sooooo good, and yet got cancelled. This isn't unique mind you; FOX has done this many times before. It's that last remark that sticks in my head. In other words, I think that the cancelation of FIrefly was the straw that broke the camels' back with regards to FOX continuously cancelling great shows. Not that it'll return.

I should also mention that FOX has continued this behaviour. Just look at Breaking In. So, even the regular slights in their direction over the last... many years hasn't fazed them. *sigh*

ECGordon, ChrisIsAll,

Oh, I just meant it was only 5 years after Trek, and then another 5 years to the motion picture. I guess Firefly has comics. That was about 5 years? But looked at that way you could say James Blish's books kept star trek alive, but then, there wasn't an internet. This place keeps firefly alive.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
