TV puts limits on stories. In comics there are no boundaries of money. A comic like Serenity: Float Out could not be a TV episode because it has too many expensive sets, spaceships, crashes. And too many guest stars while the regular actors sit in their trailers all week because they are not in any scenes. FOX would have demanded it be rewritten so that it was more about familiar people than about all the different spaceships Wash flew.

The Joss Whedon script for "Serenity," where Wash lives, is

I would not say shouldn't. I would say that sometimes limits are good. Personally I don't think Firefly would have been as good as it was if Joss was unlimited in what he could do.

I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.
