Fan-bloody-tastic!

Possibility is good enough for me at the mo.... there is hope yet.

I will embrace one of the major religions if this is true.

BTW, this week's impulse purchases in Forbidden Planet were the diecast Serenity figures (Jayne, River and Mal) and a set of Serenity postcards.

Oooh!

As for Tudyk "announcing it": just because he died doesn't mean he won't be in it. Could have flashbacks or something, or indeed set more stuff between Firefly and Serenity

That seems to be the area Joss wants to explore more, if the next Serenity comic series is anything to go by.

Steve, I'll brain you if you're kidding. Yarr.

The only way I can see this happening is if Universal were extremely satisfied with the ancillary DVD sales. Which may very well be the case, who knows...

It has done exceptionally well considering the performance of the film at the box office. And a good percentage of those people who bought the film on DVD are going to plump for the Special Edition so there's still some profit to be had from it.

Including, eventually, the impatient ones who bought the R4 special edition right off the bat.

*raises hand*

So, potential plots? I'm hoping for Serenity II: The Legend of Wash's Gold, in which the crew band together to find the treasure hidden somewhere by their deceased crewmate. However, in order to do so, they have to get the help of Wash's twin brother Scoburn Wash, allowing for Tydyk to return to the role but this time be a curmudgeonly character. It could also allow for the return of the moustache. Throw in a sequence in which Simon disgusts River by talking about seeing their parents have sex the previous week, despite the fact that the logistics of that would have required him to travel billions of miles and risk his life in Alliance territory, and you've got a bonified hit.

My vote is for Firefly 2: Fire Harder.

I'm partial to They Call Me CAPTAIN Tightpants!

Serenity II: The Spaced-Out Conspiracies.

River Tam: The Golden Age

How about- "River and Kaylee; the Pole Dancing Years"?

I'd pay good money to watch that. Repeatedly.

This would meet with satisfaction.

YEEHA!!!!

-m0r

Perhaps being trained by Inara as well. Yes, I can definately soo that film being a hit.
Oh yeah, and I noticed in Halo 3, that at one point on eof the marines in their context sensitive but otherwise random comments, mentioned Shiny in the Firefly context of the word. Shiny!

But that comic series was written before Serenity came out, to act as a bridge between the TV series and the film, that's not an indication of what Joss wants to do next (or is there a second comic series I don't know about?! ).

At the moment in World of Warcraft there is a world seasonal event happening called Brewfest. One of the alcoholic beverages you can buy as part of it is Mudder's Milk.

Hmm, don't talk to me about that! My PC re-install was going smoothly until I tried to re-install WoW last night - I can't even get the original game to load up . . .

There's a second one on the way which is set before Serenity and Serenity: Those Left Behind, suggesting that Joss is interested in exploring the time before the film that isn't covered in the series.

A couple of us were discussing what Firefly would be like should Sci Fi ever give it the green light again (highly doubtful but there you go) and I said I dont think Id like to see it without wash back in it which would be difficult seeing as he kicked the bucket in the film whilst the majority seemed to think it would work out fine. For me it would be like reanimating farscape without D'Argo, it wouldnt be right as he was a principal character then theres the whole matter of Book also being killed off so I said it would only work if they set the series before the film. I was just wondering what others thought about it, am I right thinking it wouldnt be right to have a new series without Wash and Book? Or could you see it working out just fine?

Maybe Josh will take the story on an entirely different trajectory with:

Fireflyfishing: A River Runs Through It.

I started re-watching the series last night - I predict several late nights this week . . .

Lol - what about Serenidipity. About a dancer/psychic/assassin who bumps into 2 sinister guys in Blue-Ming Dales* buying gloves.

*so sorry. I blame Ade.

Brilliance.

I want an episode called Wash And Go!.

Take two spaceships into battle?...

Watched Shindig again last night - very good!

A second series could work fine. There is an infinite number of routes Josh could take, remember there are dozens of planets and hundreds of moons, so there is bound to be many other characters that would be worth seeing, perhaps more with Badger, bring him in to every episode, but his cockney manner could be annoying.

I vote for more Badger. Everyone likes a bit of Badger.

I love a slab of Badger. And Mark Sheppard is wasted along with everyone else on Bionic Woman, so let's have it.

Can we bring Katee Sackhoff over, as well? Ex-resistance old flame for Mal, that sort of thing? I'd like it if she and Nate's only onscreen pairing wasn't that White Noise sequel...

Badger, badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM


sorry couldn't help it

Behave! The programmes at just about critical hotness point already. Introduce Starbuck and my TV may well go into China Syndrome mode.

Don't apologize, I did it more than once while watching Shindig.

Although in truth, it should really go: Badger, badger, badger, badger, Cockney, COCKNEY.......Snake! Snaaaake! Oooohhhhh, heeee's a snaaaaaake!

Etc.

Vintage Ade.

Fifefly - A renegade group from up North blitz the cockney swine with their home made weaponry.

I like Badger cos he looks like my brother. But no more 'cockerney gawd love 'em me ol' china' dialogue please. Never written by Joss you notice. Character only became cockney cos of Sheppard and was supposed to be the Whedon himself.

I like Shindig the least of all episodes. 2 dimensional guest characters and dopey premise. And exceedingly dodgy dialogue in parts. You put the sheer cleverness of Objects in Space next to it, it looks kinda lame.

In comparision to the three O's (Objects In Space, Out of Gas and Our Mrs. Reynolds), most of 'em have their flaws IMO. Till overall brilliant TV. But yeah... I don't think the show really hit full speed until OMR which was episode five.

And was a work of unbridled genius. Still funny, still touching. Love. It.

I'd have to say Out of Gas is my favourite, but Objects in Space comes a close second.

It's the last scene in Out of Gas that gets me, every time.

Son? Hey, son? You hear a word I been sayin'?

Nope.

I saw Serenity, and I loved it, but I didn't realize until recently that it was a TV show (and I work for an entertainment section ... how did that happen ... I'll just chalk it up to momentary brainfart). I just got the DVDs and I am just loving it. I love Joss Whedon, so I expected nothing less, but I am really enjoying this.

The tv show was so much better than the film, and the film was very good.

I can't believe that a quality show like Firefly got cancelled after 1 season.

Fox bastards.

So, I hear. I am *really* enjoying the show. There's great storytelling, chemistry, production. It's all there and it's a shame that it's gone. But that happens. Remember The Ben Still Show? Thirteen episodes, then, the end. Critics LOVED it. Fox killed it.

I hear Alan Tudyk is in a film with Daisy Donovan about funerals? Donovan is that crazy woman who presented Daisy Does America (no, not a porn film) and rather crap it was too.

I think the world is ready for another solid Sci Fi programme to rival Heroes seeing as we are losing BSG after next season. We have Heroes, Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who to keep us going but there really isnt much going on TV wise, when before we were spoilt for choice where science fiction was concerned.

That would be Death at a Funeral, the latest offering from Frank Oz. I've not seen it, but the trailer looked good.

Says the man with a Lexx avatar. Also, you've got the wrong Xev, Zev was much hotter.

I still miss Zev. *sigh*

I may well be all kinds of wrong here, but I always thought Daisy Donovan was hawt, even though she scared the bleedin' bejeebus out of me. Aside from the Ali G skits, she was my only excuse for watching The 11 O'Clock Show - Iain TwatWithALongFace always used to piss me off, with his uglystretch phizzog and general..... twatness.

Death At A Funeral looked jolly good fun from the trailers. Want to see.

The reviews have been less than favourable.

I agree she was tasty.

I always get the impression though, that so desperate to be famous is she, she'd be up for anything, if you could advance her career.
