okay, im probably one of the worlds biggest firefly fans, (i juust finished watching the series for the umpteenth time), and everyone i know always says why dont they make more, and although i would love it if they did, i think in my heart of hearts that they should not, you know, to keep what they have classic.

I just wanna know what everyone else thinks.

Should they keep making it?

YES! YES! YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!

*cough* As I've mentioned several times before, I was a fan of Buffy and Angel before I saw Firefly. The best thing, the very best thing, about those shows was watching the characters' personalities unfold over time. Joss is in love with his characters, and he tells the most incredible stories. The cruellest loss for me when Firefly was cancelled was all those stories as yet untold, all those little things that would happen gradually to each of the BDHs. I love that we got the BD Movie, but for me television is where Joss really comes into his own. I wanted to get to know these characters, the same way I'd gotten to know the cast of Buffy and Angel. And while I'd be thrilled as heck at Serenity II, I still long for the TV show.

while the magic between the actors and actresses may be diminished, Joss still has the ability to write amazinig dialogue and think up interesting and touching stories.

I think that if you loved the movie like you loved the series, you could well argue that the show should have continued.

I have to agree with DesktopHippie. While what we have now is classic, just imagine what we might get! Joss has never failed to amaze me, so I know he could do it again and create even more classic episodes. Even if one or two of them wasn't the greatest, it would still be better than most of what's on TV these days.

My vote is "Yes."

...Freeking hell ya. :) Firefly is just too Shiny a show to let the black take it forever.

Someday there will be more firefly, and until that day I will wait and give anything I can to make that day sooner!

I'm going to say no. Not to keep it classic, but because what made the show so great (probably a certain planetary alignment) is now gone. They would spend time trying to re-create what they had and would undoubtedly fail. Now is a different time.

If it was a different crew in the same 'verse, then I'd give it a chance.

I don't know. That may be true when using different writer, but Joss always kept Buffy new and intresting, even after killing off Buffy. I think he could do it, make the show without trying to just make it what it used to be. Cause it will be different. It won't be as happy, as homely. There probebly will develope tension between Mal and Zoe, because Mal told Zoe not to Marry Wash, and people often turn blamy when people they love die. Plus theres a sugjestion that Inara might possibly bend... after all she admitted that she wasn't sure she wanted to go back to her old life. I think new firefly's will be more warish, but they could still be good in the right writers hands, and Joss's hands look awful fine. :)

I don't think it can work the same way it did before with the events from the movie. One of the best things about the show was the dynamic between the crew members, and two of them are dead now.

If they ignored the events from the movie and just picked up where the series left off then it could work, but I can't see that happening.
