Serenity?

Firefly by a mile.

In Firefly they're family, in Serenity they're all hardened and different people.

Interesting. I liked the idea that just that little extra time out in the black had made them all that much harder and bitter. Especially Mal. As Kayleigh said : "He's likely to drive us all away" or words to that effect.

I think that was Mal lashing out because Inara and Book had left.

Mal got harder after Book had been killed. But by the end, when Mal had what was left of his family back (Including Inara) He's beginning to open up again. His conversation with River shows this

"Love keeps her in the air, makes her a home"

If Serenity hadn't happened, I'd say Firefly timeline, but I hate knowing what is going to happen before we get there (hence my extreme reluctance to prequels) -so we start after Serenity- maybe 5-10 years after Serenity so there is some new backstory elements that we don't know about the crew.

if it ever happened I'd want to pick up where firefly left off and just kinda discard serenity as an alternate universe or something.

I like serenity and all, but firefly is just so much better.

"Haha, mine is an evil laugh."

No doubt that Firefly was better than Serenity, but I would rather the story continue after the movie, with of course flashbacks with Book and Wash included.

I much prefer Serenity overall. I love Firefly but I think by the studio's request the characters had become softened. I much prefer the hardened edge the film took, and I would favour that kind of a show over the sweet nature Firefly was heading towards.
Still need the humour of course.
