Firefly shouldn't have died.  They were stupid to handle it the way they did!

Yeah, trust me I know, and then when they made the movie Weaton killed off Shepherd before we could find out what the big secret was that he was hiding (Matt thinks he was an operative), and he killed off Wash for the fun of it.

Damn you Joss Weaton!

And now they're making a second movie.

Something tells me that Wheaton didn't think he'd be able to make another movie, so tied up some loose ends, leaving others loose.  Yeah, I'm not happy about the deaths, but I guess there's nothing to be done.  The movie was good, at least, despite those.

Yeah, I really liked how they played River, and I loved that Cally and the Doctor were able to hook up. When they really started to play with the chemistry of those two you knew they had to hook up. But they did change Mal's character a bit. He was not the same quick witted yet buffoonish  character that he originally was in the series. I actually like the old Mal.

Really?  I didn't notice that much.  Of course, we could just be seeing another side of him there.  I think he's more capable than he lets on.  I never really thought of him as a buffoon though...

Wow with all this talk of Firefly, I want to watch it again now :D

[Amanda N]

I want to own the series.  We own the movie.

Oh Firefly. I love that show _so much_. I am highly amused by how many Firefly people came over to Stargate afterwards.

On the Stargate topic, I adore SG-1 and Atlantis.

For the Treks, my favorite was always DS9, with Voyager up there too.  Enterprise though was total s***, up until s4 when they took on the Reeves-Stevens as authors. Judy and Gar had written 3 best-selling (as in top of the NYTimes list) hardcover Star Trek novels already plus a best-selling paperback trilogy for DS9, so unlike some of the other writers, they really understood and loved Trek; they added most of the decent stuff of the 4th season.

Oh man, I loved Star Trek.  I think Voyager was my favourite, but DS9 was a close second. I have a soft spot for Sisko and Jadzia.

The only good thing about Enterprise was Trip! Than man's yummy! And my kid brother got me a signed photo for my birthday a couple of years ago.

I actually never saw Enterprise.  It came on after we stopped watching so much television.  Perhaps I'll be able to borrow the DVDs from school and check it out sometime.

Yummmmmm Firefly....  I LOVED that series.  My neighbor introduced it to me and then I bought my family the series for Christmas two years ago and they got hooked.

I don't know why he doesn't make another SERIES of it.  I mean SOMEONE has to be interested.  At least one in the same world would be rather interesting.  I thought the world he created was AWESOME.  I rarely watch TV shows, but that's one I would have watched faithfully.

I dunno.  Maybe he tried and no one else would do it.

The problem really was that Firefly didn't get ratings when it was a show, but the DVD sold extremely well.  Part of the problem was the way that the station scheduled and handled Firefly, but even so, that might put other stations off on buying it.

I think, at one time, The Sci Fi channel over here was considering buying it, but I've not heard anything in a while.

I started to read the last couple posts but came across a spoiler and realized that I couldn't read the rest: I received the series for Christmas and just got around to watching it, but then ordered the movie from Amazon and am awaiting its delivery.

[PastMember]

Eeeeek!  Sorry Vix, I didn't mean to do that.

Rumour has it that the BBC are talking to Tony Head about a possible 'Buffy' spinoff based in the UK. Provisionally to be titled 'Ripper' and based in the Southe West.

That's been doing the rounds for a while, allegedly the writers involved would be those from Torchwood/Dr Who.
