Doug, The reply entry seems a little disconnected, like it was shoved down by the sidebar. You may want to look into that. Also there seems to be gnome in here coping every thing I say and it is freaking me out! I wonder if there is a wysiwyg wordpress plugin, more like gmail. SCSIwuzzy says:

Doug,
The reply entry seems a little disconnected, like it was shoved down by the sidebar. You may want to look into that. Also there seems to be gnome in here coping every thing I say and it is freaking me out! I wonder if there is a wysiwyg wordpress plugin, more like gmail.

The reason that Whedon had to turn to the silver screen was that Fox's contract said nothing about movies, only TV shows. He can't make a <i>Firefly</i>-based show for something like 10 years or so. I wish Fox would Do The Right Thing and release the FF property from such a noxious contract, but I don't foresee that happening. *sigh* Unfortunately, the way that Fox wrote the contract for Firefly precludes the reemergence of the show.

It's always such a fine line to walk - assuming that your audience will be quick learners vs. oversimplification that's sure to tick off devoted fans. I think, or at least, I hope, that <i>Serenity</i> managed to walk that line, with the "deeper meanings" evident to fans of <i>Firefly</i> with novices simply being exposed to a compelling story that works <i>sans</i> a larger context. Report back on your findings, if you will. *grin* Indeed.

I wonder if they will understand the gravity of things said and done by characters that don't get (as)much screen time, like Shep. Book, Wash and Inara. In the show, they all had very complex relationships with Mal, all of them love/hate in one way or another. Caught in the orbit of a greater mass always threatening to crash them to bits or fling them out into the void, if you will. The only exploration of such a relationship we see in the film is the one between Mal and Simon. Granted, there is only so much screen time to go around, but the way some of the Book, Wash and Inara scenes touched/effected <i>us</i> is likely to be very different from that of the uninitiated.
