we'd all love it I'm sure..but at the moment...it'd take some shakin to break loose a few major parts..

I gotta suspect Castle is on it's last season so Nathan will be looking for some work

I haven't kept up, but Showtime's Homeland I assume still has Morena making her rent money?

Zoe keeping busy as well.

Joss himself of course could find time to exec direct/produce/write a bit for a new reboot given that the cast would need little hands on directing and there are plenty of others to come along side Joss and make the weekly stuff happen.

I do believe that the Science channel folks would see it as a less risky venture than just trying to scratch build some scifi series.

more's the suspicion that the original crew would love a second movie, rather than climbing aboard a firefly for the kind of lower pay that they were once happy to have.

God bless em all though if they try it...

Kate’s final update:

I strongly believe that the mark of character is the ability for an individual to stand up and honestly admit when they are wrong and have made a mistake. That is what I am here to do today.

In the course of reporting from San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, I believed that I had stumbled upon a breaking story regarding a possible reboot of Firefly on the Science Channel.

The first instinct of a reporter, when they stumble upon something as big and exclusive as this story, were it true, is to rush rush rush to get it to press so that they are the first person to report on the situation. Which is what I did.

And, I shouldn’t have. I should have taken more time to verify the facts I was presenting in my article – for the follow up statements I requested from both Joss Whedon and Debbie Myers of the Science Channel to come through, for someone to process the tape of the press conference so I could watch it again. Because, had I done that, I likely would have come to a different conclusion as to the intended levity of Whedon and Myers’ statements in that conference.

I would like to present the data I had originally collected. The circumstances behind this data might clarify why I came to the conclusion I did:

During the press conference I was the first person up to ask a question and after that I sat down very close to the dais as the rest of the conference continued. I took ten pages of notes on the remarks of the cast, Joss Whedon, Debbie Myers and Tim Minear.

In my actual notes from the press conference, the statements about the possible MMoRPG and the hypothetical sequel are inadvertently categorized as having happened one following the other – which upon review of the tape is not true.

I believed on leaving the conference that I had audio tape which substantiated my notes. Sadly, I did not, as there seems to have been a malfunction with my recorder and I only got 53 seconds of the conference.

However, upon leaving the press conference, I ran into Debbie Myers (whom I have interviewed previously) on my way out of the Hilton. Upon seeing her, I informed her of the virility of my Tweet about a potential reboot of Firefly (something like 150 re-Tweets in ten minutes). She told me that was great, and that she was very excited about the reboot.

I asked her if she would be willing to meet with me to go on the record to verify the statements I’d pulled out of the press conference. She said yes and directed me to her assistant to set up an appointment.

I now believe that she thought I was talking about the 10th anniversary documentary, not a reboot of the whole series.

Upon learning that I did not have audio tape of the conference, I still believed that the statements of Myers to me substantiated the reboot concept. I wrote my piece and Rich and I made a judgment call to go with the story as it was written and to later continue to try to verify the context.

Since that time, I have worked diligently to get Debbie Myers and/or Joss Whedon to go on the record about this matter, to no avail. Further, four days after the publication of my article, evidence that conclusively shows me that I was incorrect in my analysis of the statements in that press conference has come to light.

What’s more, Scott Allie, an editor at Dark Horse Comics who works on the Firefly comic series Tweeted the following at Rich this morning:

Please delete that inept Firefly story & I’ll pay for your Thai dinner in LA tonight, thereby having done you 2 favors today.

Allie has also gone on the record with the blog Furious Nads as to my story:
