Over 10 years has gone by, the actors have aged significantlyand I never said all of the cast were American or that bad

There is NO WAY even Whedon will be able to pull (nor would he want to) Nathan from Castle. A movie sequel would be much more feasible and I’d be happy with that, even if it’s without some dear cast members who’s characters died in the previous outing.

the only problem with them continuing the series is, is that Nathan Fillion is currently on Castle. And it doesn’t look like it will be ending anytime soon with how captivating it and edge-of-your-seat sequences happening. But, I would LOVE to see it return! Bring it in right after, or just a little bit later than, what happened in the movie Serenity.

Great post,especially the “Was there another Parliament meltdown” part.
Remember in the movie when River’s mind control doctor said to The Operative (bad guy) that River had been before Parliament members; that would be a good place to start a new season. The Serenity crew could confront / expose all the dirt River knows about each one of them & maybe you could have some twist in the story like one of them was not really bad but had to play along but was secretly helping the Alliance in different ways.

A new series would be very SHINNY!

No power in the ‘Verse can stop Joss Whedon now. Restart the show, make a movie; just make sure the original cast comes back.

I was not a fan when the series was on TV, or didn’t know about the movie until after the fact.
But once I discovered it, I was hooked and still am.
YES I would definitely watch a new Firefly show or see a new movie.
” Take me out to the black” nothing a the verse would stop me.

I love the concept of a frontier within a frontier, and the literal cowboy attitude of spacers within the Firefly Universe. The Conflict between the Corporate/ Big Government -like Alliance with the rugged old-west survival attitude of individualists and anarchists of the outer rim planets really hits home with contemporary attitudes, both politically and in general. I believe a series could possibly flourish (one Firefly fandom page has over 200,000 friends) The story would obviously have to pick up where Serenity left off; I wouldn’t dwell on the old characters,aside from those that survived and their memories or mourning. I think the political conflict of the reaper exposure would a be good focal point, as well as the apathy of the public that followed. The Alliance would still be in power, yet exposed for their callousness and corruption; to no ones surprise, nothing changes; and certain factions find that unsettling . At the same time there should be good characters that have compassion and purity within the Alliances ranks, a struggle intertwined with the outer rim factions.

Loyal saboteurs, Alliance renegades that literally work for the “greater good” of the Alliance and all known life, and will do what it takes at all risk to themselves and no one else. While at the same time, there are still elements of the Alliance that are not compassionate when it comes to the rule of law. These characters work for political clout and station therefore their ruthlessness is renowned. No sci-fi would be complete without the stories of scoundrels that are corrupted easily by profits and are just as atntagonistic as the lawful loyalists; These stories are in need to show the Alliances depth and humanity. I would go with an undertone of the offshoot storyline being, “The only way to beat the Devil, is to befriend him first” …with the aim of getting rid of all corruption within the Alliances Administration. Alliance outfits would also need to be hella cooler than they were in Firefly btw, silly looking space seamen. Although the Alliance could literally be an offshoot of the American Navy with a Corporate backbone.

I would even go into the history of Earth, and the tragedy that it took the desperation of survival to get humanity to put spaceflight as a priority. Also the regrets of those that destroyed Earth in the name of profit and war, maybe their grandchildren would hold sway over the factions of the Alliance that were responsible for Earths demise and could be protagonists within the series.

What would be really interesting to see on film or on a series would be a story of revolution where humanity works to drop the concept of monetary value, by those that hold the most of it. Recruiting in secrecy as they try to find redemption for destroying Earth. Then replacing the monetary system with true freedom, while placing the highest value and highest respect on all human life.

Certain episodes could montage between Alliance stories and the everyday stories of those that struggle in the monetary system, via the smuggling operations of a new Firefly and its crew. Classic struggle stories of the colonists on the terra formed worlds, where most are enslaved or are forced to work the black-market just to make ends meet.

Basically it would be an undertone, of Capitalism Vs the Red Scare which Firefly already had. With no side being truly right or wrong a conflict between them is always interesting and enlightening. All the while being light hearted and funny; without unwarranted spite as Whedon does best Old and New concepts with drama intertwining so that neither are truly separate being displayed in a fictional settings of future colonies and the adventures of the Firefly crew.

Drag your feet a little bit more Joss – you are a smart guy. You know you now have the power, but for a limited time. If there is anything you ever wanted to accomplish with Serenity/Firefly – You can do it. Its in your hands. Just a matter of how much you want it,and how much time you’ll sacrifice. You’re young enough. You can do it! We are ALL behind you 110%

I know fans would eat this premise up alive, but with everyone or many being pretty busy with their own projects these days (well, some of them) would they be able to pull it off? Or if not, would it quite be the same as it was? And then again, Whedon is pretty focused on moving forward too.

DON’T GET ME WRONG, I think it would be awesome. But to stave off my potential depression when it doesn’t happen, I have to be pragmatic!

With the money he made with Avengers he could produce a new Firefly miniseries and host it on the web by himself and make a killing. Then when the networks see how it did he can sell it to one the networks. Thinking like a Sanctuary situation.

It can work. I’d be interested in seeing what they’re all doing ten years later.

By: Darrin Bell

On the other hand, that’d be “somebody else’s story” too, so I’m not sure he’d be interested.

None of those film year ’round. They could probably find six weeks to film a movie.
