lalalalalalalalalalalala...I can't hear you lalalalalalalalalalalala.
Really though, if they do get the go-ahead for Firefly, will Nathan's new salary make him too expensive for the show?
Gotta go, I think I have an episode to write. (see virtual season3)

Not very encouraging news at all.

Well, the article does not say that the contract is exclusive, but I do not think that Nathan could work on any project that would jeopardize his contract w/ NBC. Since his obligation is to them, he can not just break his contract or endanger his career.
Let's face it, I hold as much hope as anyone that the show will get back on the air, but so far we have not had much in the way of encouraging news. Sure the sets are still standing, but the cast contracts expired on 2/1 and here it is only 3 days later and Nathan has signed w/ NBC. No one can possibly fault him as he has to work and there seems to be no word of Firefly getting back on the air.
I hope the show does make it back onto the small screen, in some shape or form, and that if it does, Nathan is able to come back and play Mal, as he seems perfect for the role.

Way to stay positive HKCavalier. I am with you. I've said it before and I will say it again. I have faith in Joss.
This is a good sign for Nathan. However, I do not have faith in NBC to know how to work Nathan's show. They need to get James Burrows to direct to make it work as a comedy or John Wells to produce if it is a drama. Otherwise it will just be filler and if the ratings fail Nathan will be available again.
Everyone, have faith in Joss. I will not give up until he does. Joss can do amazing things. Although I cannot see anyone ever replacing Nathan. I beleive Joss can make anything work.
When Doyle died on Angel and was replaced by Wesley, I went ugh! I realy hated Wesley and thought this was the worst idea ever. Now, after careful development and Alexis' talent I love Wesley and I have learned to place complete trust in Joss. He has the touch.
I do believe Serenity will keep flying.

Unfortunately, Nathan was the lead it's an ensemble cast, but the show was about these people, and their loyalty etc. The passengers (Book and Inara) can be off loaded, Jayne, Wash and Zoe could get killed off, Simon and River could get arrested, but in the mythology of the show, Serenity is what it is because of Malcolm Reynolds.
Before I get flamed, I am not saying that Malcolm is the only important member of the show, it's just that the show is about his ship and his crew.
It's gonna take major tap dancing and creative voo-doo to replace Nathan. And they better not lame out and do a "Bewitched" where another actor plays Malcolm Reynolds and no one says anything, and they better not do a "Love Boat" where they substitute a similar looking actor as Mal's brother as the new captain.
Basically, I'm scared. I need a blankie so I can go in a corner and suck my thumb until it's all better.

Hang in there, LA. Curl up in a ball for awhile if you need to.
IMO, which counts for nothing, btw, we'll get DVDs. We'll get movies, hopefully. Maybe.
Otherwise, all these actors are going to go on and do great things and tell great stories.
And when we enjoy those stories, cos we will, we can think back and cherish our Firefly memories.
Cos damn. For ahwile there, it was the best myth ever.
Taking the high road!

Well - maybe it's completely dead.
The one thing worse than this would be for it to come back ... dimished.
I just wish I knew what this 'new angle' mentioned by Tim a while back was....
Too long with no news.

Actually, the cast's contracts ran out on Jan, 31st. We really can't fault Nathan, or any of the cast for that matter, for looking for work.

NBC hasn't decided what kind of show they want to do for Nathan. I have a great idea for 'em. It's 500 years in the future, and there's this spaceship, see?
(stolen from somebody's post on the official boards.)
Grin, and who was this incrediable smart a**?
