So? They're looking into making a bit of cashy money. What? We want peeps to return Firefly to television AND have them do so with no self-interest at heart, too? That seems asking a mite too much. I'd say, let them bring Firefly back first! And we'll worry about them making money off of it later... or, we won't worry about it at all.

bear with me a moment.........
I'm with Bytemite, well, sort of.........
Nathan appearing on Castle wearing his browncoat says a lot. Millions were watching. Ratings were quite good, so good in fact that it got a mention in the trades.
So, does this mean we'll get Firefly back? Not necessarily. But, and I'm thinking out loud here, what I think it could mean is that people have noticed. DVD sales, Castle numbers, browncoats being recruited on a daily basis........oh yeah, and there's that cashy-money thing too.
What the author and the article suggest is that the time is right, etc. Of course, time in H-wood is a very elusive thing, but, having said that, I'm going with the positive thing here - which brings me back to Nathan donning his Captain outfit on a major network TV show. I think it may have been more than a wink to us. A mini-series is not completely out of the question.
Let's hope so.
Ahhhhh yes, I'm painfully optomistic.
I could see it happening, what with everyone's success (especially Nathan's) and now 'V' - it's not such a stretch! Somewhere, some smart TV exec (now that's an oxymoron) will get it.
I'm just saying!

I would love to see Firefly as a TV series again. Honestly though I don't think it would ever happen. Unless some of the actors are able to work on two different TV shows.
Give me two more movies and I'm happy. :)

I've always felt like I needed 3 solid seasons on my shelf to have satisfied my hunger for firefly.
guys listen.. I'm old enough to be all ya'lls father I'm sure.. I've held a high level global position, traveled the world, met and befriended folks for what I knew might be the only time I'd ever see them face to face and then waved g'bye at the airport having been richer for knowing them for even that short time..some so long ago it seems like I dreamed that I was there in a strange land, customs, languages, humor, etc.. I'm tellin ya...I miss my Firefly crew/cast in that same way..stupid? crazy?...it's the only show that has ever hit me that way..and I've rewatched my DVDs to the point where my wife worries about my sanity.
I don't haunt any other serenty forums, don't attend the conferences and have never dressed up as a tholian web monster or whatever...this series hit me deep in a way that none other has.
If I were a rich man I'd finance whatever it took to recreate the magic that occurs at various times in each of those episodes. and create anough footage to allow the thing to fully develop.
That said, I believe that Serenity did allow the stoy to be told in its completeness and I can let it rest with that...would I enjoy a sequel...oh heck yeah! would I enjoy a new TV effort...yes and there are many ways to write around the movie so that the series doesn't have to conflict...River's done her job?..fine..move her on to some sort of great navigator who can get them to other places in the unknown verse..Wash?..how bout something as tacky as a twin brother..would set up all sorts of tension and undercurrents for Zoe to deal with..and allow Alan to flex some cool acting..subtle differences between his old role and his brother...or..let River take us to another realm..where they uncover an Alliance conspiracy that includes cloning...ah..now we can bring back Wash..with some hiccups, memory issues or..some character "flaws"..make things really fun..
if the writers union is done striking and done resting on their reality TV asses.. I bet they can write some really interesting story lines.
bottom line.. I miss the folks that I once visited with...and I want em back!

First you missed my post saying that I did watch “Drive”, then you say you aren’t going for a point by point discussion here, then in the very next sentence you do just that!!
I didn't miss it - I explained why I didn't mention it....
Oh, nevermind. Not remotely worth the effort.

It has been a long time since we have been able to hope for Firefly to come back.

I for one would LOVE a new full series/mini series/movie/made for TV movie. Trying to not get my hopes up.

I have hope that we will see our beloved BDH's on the screen once again, be it small or large and silvery. The fact that the Capt'n was wearin' a browncoat and making such a fuss is good...the fact that we have heard neither hide nor hair of the mythical Book comic series is good too...to me it means there are forces in the works that aim to misbehave 
I have faith in the 'verse...she is a cruel mistress at times but she fills me with hope when I am down. I have to have hope for that is all that I can cling to in the dark night while waiting for the dawn. A new day will dawn and we Browncoats from all lands will greet that dawn with open arms and say welcome! We have missed you and we have kept the home fires burning!
You just can't stop the damn signal, it's that simple IMO.

Too be fair, until Joss and all the original cast members are no longer of this world, there's always going to be some sort of talk of a Firefly return.
And they'll probably still be some talk of a return after that!
:o)
