I agree about an all new ship with all new characters. I always liked the idea of a brand new rookie captain just getting his first taste of command. He served all his time before that in the core but for now he's the captain of a ship in the outer rim. We get to see him learn to walk the line between doing things by the book and doing what's right. Maybe eventually he'll even uncover enough about the alliance to rebel. Throw in a mole on the ship, maybe someone on the crew how wants the captains job and some other mysterious stuff to drag out. I'd watch that.

That'd be the 'Verse, but not Firefly. It's the personalities
and relationships in Firefly that make it great. That's what
I want back. Eventhough Mal annoys me fairly often.

Jayne's offspring:
It occurs to me, in the spirit of Joss, that Jayne's "good son"
would actually be a daughter.

. . . . .The worst and most frequent consequence of paranoia is that it's self-fulfilling.

In the vein of Jayne's 17 sons, there's a story floating around about Jayne's nine children from every corner of the verse, and, fitting with Jayne's name situation, they all have names that are typically for the other sex. I didn't read it myself, after the first chapter I saw it wasn't the kind of story I read, but it was clever.

I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.

Thats very true indeed, Would also quite amusing if when she caught up with her father, that he wax on about how she reminds him of this moon-brained kid he once knew back in the day.

:D

Ha really! Must've been a Marquez fan too :D

It's funny but the "father' issues in t.v. and films has always irked, but low and behold that's just what I ended up thinking of.... Ho hum,,,

I have been working on an idea for my second year at University. After the 'Prax' disaster, I have imagined a reorganisation of power. The systems of oppression remain, it's just the names that change. A young member of parliament who was a medic for the Alliance during the war would make a decent protagonist. Someone who didn't fight on a side but tried to save lives. Maybe they ordered him to refuse aid to prisoners of war. So the series could explore the horrors of war. I'd keep most of the narratives Post-Serenity.

I need to develop a relationship in the idea. I would probably give this young politician a personal companion. Who is skilled in at manipulation and would make an obvious Blue Sun plant but isn't. The strong manipulative force would come from voters and the media and other political figures. The world is full of subverted meaning, this would give our protagonist some fascinating paranoia. Which could be played either for comedy or totally serious.

You know, I'd pretty much watch anything set in the 'Verse. Don't much matter what it was about.

That being said, I'd love to see the original cast and crew back, but if that were not an option I'd like to see a show based around a new ship and crew, a passing of the torch if you will.
