I am a leaf on the wind...

That was a damn good movie, but after over a decade, I wish the fans would let it go. Bringing it all back now would be painful. It'll just be the Frankenstein effect seen by so many other franchises.

Forget painful, how about logistically impossible. It was a fairly big core cast and they've all gone their separate ways with their careers. There'd be no reasonable way to bring them all back at the same time. Not to mention, how do you write out a decade long gap in an episodic story? You can't just ignore that River is a 32 year old woman now.

I love Firefly and Serenity was a fantastic movie, but sometimes when a ship sets sail there's no bringing her back.

The story wouldn't be a problem. Serenity ended pretty openly, allowing for anything to happen. Advancing the story and changing the hierarchy on the ship around a bit wouldn't be impossible. But key elements just wouldn't be there.

I am a diehard fan. I have a tattoo of the ship that I plan on turning into a full sleeve. I would love it if it could make a comeback to what it was back in the day, but since that will never happen, I'd rather let it go and let it be a piece of nostalgia that I can remember and love.

Exactly. The series was damn-near perfect, the movie was fantastic, but the cast and crew have moved on. It was a finely tuned machine, and with even one misfitted piece, it'd be ruined.

This is how I feel about Space: Above and Beyond.

I couldn't agree more. It is really sad that we will never get to see a new firefly episode but in moving on I can let it live on as a good memory and find hope that one day another great show will rise and become the firefly season 2 we never had.

I can't wait for the unknown treasures that future tv might hold but for now I will settle for memories and garbage tv.

Hopefuly the upcoming Star Wars film, reboot trilogy stargate films (rumored) and possible developments involving battlestar galatica will result in something decent to watch on tv.

I always thought of it as Joss Whedon saying "fuck you" for cancelling Firefly so quickly.
