(and it was an unsuccessful movie that seemed to rekindle the network interest)

so maybe there will be a Firefly The Next Generation in 2020....

Whedon's electing to drop the Blue Sun conspiracy angle for the movie Serenity has had the effect of significantly reducing my anxiety regarding its release. I understand the reasoning, be it to accommodate the length of the feature, or its saleability to financial backers. And I'm still a fan: I'll pay to see Serenity in a theatre, although, as it happens, I won't have to. But I'm just not all that expectant, excited or gung-ho about the movie. For me, Serenity is left with having to deliver entertainment value in the form of character development or just-plain-thrills. I'm optimistic on that score.

If the movie is a success, a big success, who can say what may or may not happen. We know there will be at least two more movies, and it has been reported that there are novels in the works, so anything is possible.

Keep your fingers crossed, and go see the BDM as many times as you can. Take friends and family. Convert friends and family into Browncoats w/ the DVD set so they pass the word along. The more people we get into seats in theatres, the better our chances of a bright future.

Keep Flyin'!

At this point, no, there is no plan for a return to television Bsport. It has something to do w/ Fox (read "The Devil") and the contract they have on Firefly. Apparently there is some stipulation about the show not being released to return to tv in any form for a number of years. We have heard everything from 5 to 10 years.

However, there are going to be Big Damn Movie Stars.

Some of you will moan and groan but, that is reality. Joss deserves to have his visions on the Big Screen and we will have to be satisfied with other mutant enemy writers on...

Lost (Fury)
Alias (Drew Goddard and more)
Point Pleasant (Marti Noxon)
The Inside (Southland) (TIM MINEAR and Jane Espenson)

etc etc.

Get over it. (said in a nice way)

"Blue Sun appears, but the Blue Sun corporation as a concept is not a major theme of the movie." This seems pretty much the same as the series (so far), so I don't see how people could be upset by it.

Well, in the pilot episode Serentiy, Mal's pointedly seen kissing the cross (necklace). Seems to me that's a Christian symbol, which disappears when we are brought to the present plot line.

But what do I know? Maybe JW's intent in season 6 was to have Malcolm Reynolds rediscover his faith in God, via whatever church or religious organisation drew him to his faith in the first place.

What are you talking about? Mal changed his name to Caleb and became a priest on Buffy in season 7. He MUST have changed his 'tude toward God. Right? Right.
