No serenity without "Serenity"

I was turned onto Firefly after watching the movie Serenity. I remember thinking that the movie was a little hard to follow, but overall...it was great! It had a comedic seriousness that reall captivated me as a viewer. The cast of the film was perfect and would have been ruined by mainstream actors (if you ask me). After watching it...I commented to my brother about how awesome the movie was, and that was when I found out it was based on a TV series. I immediately went to bestbuy to buy the series, and was confused when I only found one season. I asked the clerk if the rest of the seasons were sold out, and he said that there was only one season (and that he was a huge fan). I am not big into watching any television programs because no matter how hard you try to relate to the characters, you never can. That was not the case with Firefly. I found traits of myself in Mal, Wash and Jayne. It was awesome!! I truly wish Joss would bring Firefly back to life. Considering how the show was cancelled (without warning), I can honestly say that I don't blame Joss for his reluctance to revive the series or make another film. I am greatful that many of the cast went on to do some great shows (Castle for instance), and what I think is truly endearing, is that the cast all said that if Joss were to revive the series, they would all return...no questions asked! That is the kind of loyalty that only great directors get..and Joss...is one of the greatest out there. Regardless of Firefly's fate; I am glad that we all got to share in the vision that was Serenity. And I for one, will never stop the signal. Thanks Joss.
