to me hero is one who defies his whipcracking master, perhaps leads a rebellion against them. fight the powers that be and restore justice to the world. give us something new and different.

whedon seems to be bootlicking. it's time for him to move into the realm of moviemaking. time to disassociate himself from making these silly "made-for-TV" farces like Firefly.

thank god he is keeping the hollywood movie-producing community afloat. we need those people who brought us such epic pieces of cinematic history like "ishtar", "america's sweethearts", "star trek: nemesis", the last 3 episodes of "star wars" (sorry lucas you blew it), and "flightplan" to remain alive. god forbid the low budget dreamers who want to make good films in canada, new zealand, japan (gimme 7 samarai part deux), balliwood (india), and every other corner of the globe should dare touch the hemn of god (hollywood).

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

A hero is someone who gets other people killed. You can look it up later.

Meet Joss the hero. He keeps his films in Hollywood:

"Hi, I'll be filming Wonder Woman in Australia."

It scares me that someone would call Joss a hero based on this article.

But by filming his sci-fi feature film debut, "Serenity," in town, he found himself something of a local hero, one of a growing number of people who are fighting to keep Hollywood in Hollywood.

how dare i be critical. shame on me. whedon is abandoning firefly. newp just ain't gonna ever make more episodes of firefly. not after serenity. no return to television from that launching platform. never mind that the whole "rabid fan" thing that resulted in the production of that movie had everything in the world to do with getting the show back on the air. hell go look at the poll on the front page of this website. 80 percent of us would rather have this back on TV versus more movies. but, he's now a movie producer. whoopitydoo. hip hip hooray.

i had hoped the movie would provoke a movement to return Firefly back to series production. hell the momentum is already there from the fanbase (myself included). but newp that just ain't gonna happen it seems. whedon has abandoned serial episodes of anything television cuz he's now "A-list". someone get that man a producer's chair with his name emblazoned on it. hell even if he had loyalty to the fans who worship him, his little foray into movies hasn't caused only his ego to explode. from what i've read, other members of the surviving firefly cast will never reprise their roles in a firefly series since the movie. they too are now "graduated" from the medium of television. hollywood never has a shortage of bigger-than-life egos. as for whedon..

wonder woman movie? hmm sounds like they are giving him prunes disguised as lemons and asking him to make lemonade. of all the DC comic characters from whom you could make a movie, none were as tacky as that one. well superman maybe. but this one will be a real doozy. the money will be there no doubt. at the end of the day i guess that's all that counts.

It's hard to know what the truth is anymore. I've read so many conflicting accounts of what happened with the FOX having the contract rights to the series. One thing that's for certain ~ they totally blew it, running the eps out of order, not promo'ng it enough, cancelling midseason without giving it time enough to find it's sea legs, etc. I believe Whedon should NEVER have given up on trying to get back the rights and shop it around to other channels. I wish he'd keep at it, and most important of all, put it on scifi chan. FOX is all sitcoms, reality shows, cop/doctor dramas, etc. (all the major networks are these days). FF is a niche market. How many people can honestly say they believe Stargate SG1 would have made it to the 9th season on any channel other than SciFi chan?

One other thing to remember... the contract with FOX is only 5 years. If he couldn't get the show aired elsewhere, he could've waited them out (and know his fans would wait with him). Build up the franchise while waiting, much the same way as Roddenberry did with Star Trek ~ merchandising, books/comics, and so on. Totally fan-driven.

Whedon is sitting on a gold mine and doesn't know it.
