Ballad of Serenity

We’ve received word that the new Serenity miniseries from Dark Horse will be titled Better Days and will be set during the Firefly TV series. Why? Well, for starters, all of the characters were still around at that point in the time. It’s also said to explore some plotlines that weren’t used in the original series. As expected, Joss Whedon will be co-writing this one with Brett Matthews, his collaborator on the first Serenity mini. No word yet on the artist, but Adam Hughes is rumored to be doing the covers.

As for stories that take place after the Serenity feature film… the success of the Serenity DVD may allow for a true sequel to be made. It’s just talk at this point, there are no deals and no guarantees…

But there’s still hope…

I've said this on imdb, i believe firefly will continue, based purely on its following, however, i think a series or a feature film at the moment is doubtful. I think the series will go the way of babylon 5, releasing perhaps a tv movie every couple of years, or perhaps a mini series of 4 episodes ala battlestar galactica which got that series going. In any case, i would love there to be more, but i think we'll all have to wait for atleast 2 years for joss to do wonderwoman and then possibly something might happen, especially if wonderwoman is successful(although it's not really my cup of tea). The fact is that if DVD sales are consistent (studios forecast anywhere up to 5 years now to see if a film will make a profit) for both series and film, not to mention new fans being recruited due to syndication of the show, everything should be shiny in the long run.

...The cows were on the ship for 3 weeks between SHINDIG and SAFE. Is that all that happened for 3 weeks?...

Between ARIEL, which happened in December, and TRASH, which happened in APRIL, all we got was WAR STORIES. That's a four month span.

No, David, actually, I haven't seen that website. My observations are based on reading the shooting scripts and watching the episodes. There are several references to time (Simon's been on the ship 2 months in SAFE, Saffron was on the ship 6 months back in TRASH, etc.), which allow for some pretty good estimates. (Also, see my previous post about October 24.)

But how do you figure "Ariel" takes place in December?

In the pilot episode, Inara states she's been on the ship eight months. In "Bushwhacked" she says "In a few weeks, it will be a year." That implies that at least two months, more likely three have passed since "The Train Job" and Simon seems awfully awkward still for having been there that amount of time. It could work, theoretically, but it seems odd.

Of course, it contradicts the "Safe" two months thing, too.

And in the movie Mal proclaims Simon and River have been on the ship for eight months, which throws everything all over the place even more.
