I don't just Kristin to be right about anything except for Lost spoilers. Joss has said again and again that Firefly the TV show is over. There may be books, maybe another comiv, another movie I wish, but not a show revival. I doubt that has changed. Hate to spoil the fun, but I would not get hopeful at all.

Actually the new CW network is a joint venture with Warner Bros and CBS (Paramount owns them). UPN and the WB network will be going away in Sept.

Honestly, the feel of the show also depends on where they start... Some would prefer they show the time between "Objects in Space" and the BDM. Others think the story should start after the BDM. I think the greatest losses as far as continuing the series were the quirkiness of Wash "the nonviolent one" and the mysteries of Shepherd Book (Why'd the Alliance want him alive so badly?)

So, it's all in Mr. Whedon's hands, but if he were determined, he could make something of it. Zoe could or could not find out she was pregnant with that baby she wanted so badly with Wash, Kaylee and Simon are the new "real couple" onboard with Mal and Inara still left a little undefined, and Inara may opt to continue her work as a registered companion for a while to keep face, because her role as a member of "society" is rather useful at times, and that could lead to more tension between my fav pair. River would have the option of helping with the ship or going on missions, and she still has the Blue Sun group after her, so she could go a bit batty with the "two by two, hands of blue" thing again...

There are many untold stories left to tell... and they could keep the cast as it was at the end of the BDM, or bring on a new character or two... I'm thinking they need a new pilot, and it might be respectful to Zoe to make it a female, and BOY would it be funny for there to be a female that just CONFOUNDS Jayne... not necessarily a romance, but she just leads him on.. It'd be a hoot!

However, then the number of females GROSSLY outweighs the number of males, and you'd need another dose of testosterone to even it out again... sure, it'll be 5/4 women to men, but before it was 5/4 the other way! Shouldn't taint much...

Now that my friend is one damn fine idea. Brilliant.

Cheers.

Yes, I know:)

> And CW will in the least be partly owned by Time Warner. I'm not sure how they are splitting it. I work for Time Warner but they don't give us lowly employees much details on these things.

So do I:)

I don't care on what network a new series airs, as long as it does! :)

Also, those are some great observations and suggestions. While I was reading your suggestion about adding a female member to the crew, the name "Saffron" popped into my head. Why? She fits the criteria of everything you stated. She would create tension between Mal and Inara cause Inara hates her and wouldn't understand why Mal would allow her to stay on (maybe because Mal is having more trouble getting jobs, given what the Operative did to the people who had helped Mal in the past, and Saffron being well-connected can get those jobs for him). She could have her own motives, leading on Jayne to try and spark him to cross Mal at just the right moments. And she's an expert in piloting and mechanics. She could pilot the ship when River's out with Mal & Co and she could annoy Kaylee every now and then with some kind of mechanical speak in the sarcastic vein of "You missed a spot." I thought Saffron worked well with them in Trash. I'd like to see her on the crew making things....not smooth.

Honestly, I'd love a character who could tell us more about the Alliance and its inner workings... like someone who was the child of a member of the Senate, then faked their death... and that'd be cool to have to find out why... River could read the person and know what had happened, but choose not to put it out there... and that could lead to interesting power struggles on the ship, too...
