Hello,
Probably no one will agree with me, but I think a high-quality animated series is our best bet for a continuation of the 'verse.
The actors can record lines while still continuing their careers. And they may do it at reasonable rates because they love the project.
I think maybe 12-20 episodes at maybe 1.5 million per episode. Maybe even get Netflix to produce the thing, since they are keen on having their own shows (like Mad Men.)

That doesn't sound like the worst idea ever.
I like it.

Oh no, actually I'd love an animation. Style not quite anime (Mal and Jayne tend to look a little TOO pretty that way) and not quite pure western, but a stylized blend somewhere in between.
I've actually done some experimenting with style, as have a few other people on the boards. Plenty out here who'd like that. Just have to convince some of these people who think cartoons are just for kids.

Nope - less than a decade, in fact. Star Trek went off air in '69, and the movie was in theaters in '79. Figure it took at least a year to line things up (money, cast, crew, script, sets, etc.) and make the movie and edit it (and it takes far longer, typically), and you've got a timeline of less than a decade from end of show to movie release.
I'd love to see Joss line things up for more adventures in the 'verse, but only time will tell. Well, time and money, really...

That would sooo not be my problem with an animated Firefly. (I watch South Park, I'm well aware animation is not just for kids.) Thing is, the actors brought so much to the show in terms of body language and facial expression, I'm not sure animation could do that justice. Don't get me wrong, if it's the only option I'll be right on board watching it, just like I read the comic books, but it wouldn't be the same.
What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

It does seem that the board is gradually winding down, yes.But what can be expected.We only have 14 eps worth of discussion plus the BDM. I'm sure every avenue has been pretty much exhausted or rehashed in some fashion. As for the RWED, I'll admit I only take a cursory glance these days. Other than American politics, there ain't much for us outsiders to contribute. But that's just the nature of the beast, I suppose.

Well I don't think Browncoatdom is dead at all. And honestly I'm afraid Joss would mess it up, this comic Byte mentioned is worrysome to me because a post BDM comic potentially rutting up cannon scares the crap out of me. I can't trust Joss. With fanfic writers they can do whatever they want but I can ignore it if I want. But with official material ... things can get fowled up and I'll have no recourse. Firefly has become something too big to confine into a cannon box anymore. I wish Joss would do a comic about Inara's past instead, nothing can go wrong there.
I suppose my saving grace is that not everyone likes the comics, so they are really only "half cannon" as far as the masses are concerned.
But I believe that this whole thing has become too big to die anytime soon. I don't know how many people used to post here, but if there were anymore than there are now I wouldn't have enough time to keep up with them all. Of course I'd still welcome an influx of members, but I don't think the threadstarter's diar predictions are accurate.

My bad, the Fox contract doesn't expire until sometime in 2012. Probably around the time the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world as we know it, such that in a crackpot mystical sense us fans are doubly screwed.
Darn.

Howdy, I'd just like to point out that I JUST joined this site( TOTALLY love it btw), and I might even write some fanfics (I've definetally been reading them!), so don't think Browncoats are going anywhere anytime soon! I've even converted 3 people this year to the show, and they were instantly addicted, and asked me "why was this canceled? This can't be it! How can we get more??". So I'm thinking it's not over, I mean Serenity was made pretty much because of the fans begging for more, and there are still fans aplenty out there! I think that makes us mighty enough to do the impossible(: I still think the Browncoats will rise again, someday!((: a person can hope at least!
No power in the 'Verse can stop me.
