Well, yah, but the key words were letting it simmer a while.
I was kinda hoping Fox would get their heads out of their corperate arses and figure out that "Hey, maybe Firefly really
is a gold mine." and give us fans what we want. Or, maybe slide it in Sci-Fi's direction (who was still airing the series last I was in the real world); they would probably be more than willing to give Whedon the money he needs to make the series as stunning as ever.
Simply put, I'm afraid that Fox would be the kind of company that would just sit on this little gem and milk it dry without ever putting anything back into it other than the one movie (which, though it was a good movie, still left me wanting more). After all, they're willing to cancel a show like Firefly but let American Idol run for 5 years? Not exactly the best brains in the country running the place, ya know. Then again, most people they cater to probably enjoy watching monkeys flinging poo at each other for 15 hours out of the day more than they enjoy intellegent conversation. ...I do happen to recall their Cops marathons. Nothing like watching humanity at its worst for hours and hours and mind-numbing hours on end, right?
Ok, so it was a rediculously deep post. LOL
I love Firefly. I'd love to see the series brought back. I'd love to see it even if it were in miniseries form. I'd love it even if it were like the Halloween movies where it was 20 movies long. Heck, I'd read it in Dr. Suess books.
It's a beautifully created universe and story that didn't get its fair lot.
