Would have been more compelling if they were investigating the death of Scott Proctor's right arm.

Your nerd colors are showing.

Jose Molina! Sweet. Now *my* nerd colors are showing.

opining on the ioc container?

I love Nathan Fillion entirely too much. I don't watch a lot of TV nowadays (which is ironic given my major) but I'll watch that sometimes just because Nathan Fillion is fun.

I miss Firefly. And when's the next Dr. Horrible, huh?...

I'm surprised Torre made it over the moat...

I miss Firefly.

During a Halloween episode Nathan Fillion was able to once again don the "Captain Mal" get-up. It was one of the greatest "Fourth-Wall Break" moments in history.

It both pleased me and made me sad.

Are you majoring in Contemporary Television?

I prefer to think of him as Nathan "Johnny Donnelly" Buchanan.

There's no good reason not to resurrect Firefly. And yet it won't happen.

I'd take another Serenity movie though.

Yes. Television writing, to be more precise.

I don't see how that could possibly work. I love Dr. Horrible, but its ending really leaves any future story no place to go. It has three main characters and they all get definitive conclusions, with no ambiguity or loose ends. I get the impression that Mutant Enemy wants a sequel just to cash in on the original's popularity, not because they see more story to be told. (The rationale behind 90% of all sequels.) There's been talk of bringing you-know-who back from the dead, and if that's representative of their ideas for the sequel, I hope it's never made.

Because the cast and crew may have moved on in the past 5 years? Because while those who love the show really love the show, the fanbase is still small enough that Serenity barely broke even? And speaking as both a stat geek and Buffy geek, it's better to lose a show a year too soon than a year too late.

i picked up firefly on hulu after this last thread, and i can see where some people are coming from. but, to this point (episode 5), it pales in comparison to what jericho was, though, admittedly, i've seen the entirety of jericho, as opposed to just the beginning of firefly.

I don't see how that could possibly work.

That's actually what I thought, but I swear I heard a rumor that they would anyway. I might've been wrong.

I've at least heard that Whedon wants to continue working in that format.

Is it me or did Torre seem a bit stiff not as loose as he is in those State Farm commercials.

Don't go confusing the issue with logic.

(That said, both the show and the movie were marketed miserably.)

And speaking as both a stat geek and Buffy geek, it's better to lose a show a year too soon than a year too late.

Well, easy to say when you got multiple good seasons from Buffy. If Firefly had gone three and out, I'd deal with it better. But one freaking partial season?? Just when it was getting really good? Dammit, where's Lassus when I need him?

I've heard rumors like that too. It wouldn't shock me if a sequel got made. (And now that Dollhouse's over, the Mutant Enemy people have plenty of time on their hands.) I'm just skeptical that it would be all that good.

You have a point. But there is a bright side. I don't know how familiar you are with Whedon shows, but he hates the viewers. He wants us to suffer. He and his actors create fun, likable characters, then systematically abuse, break, and destroy them. So having just 13 episodes of Firefly meant you were spared the inevitable developments of Inara finally hooking up with Mal only to be killed 30 seconds later, Zoe blaming Mal for Wash's death and leaving to join the Alliance, River being triggered and killing Kaylee and Simon, and Mal finally going insane from it all.[/half serious]

I see what you did there
