More Firefly?

Does the fact that Gene Roddenberry was a les than pleasant individual in real life bother you when watching Star Trek?
When I'm watching Trek that he was actively involved with? To some degree, yes.

If there was a Trek reboot and he was alive and was going to be actively involved with it in more than a "consultant" fashion? Yes.
 
Firefly: The Next Generation

Well, would be nice to see the fallout from the movie after the accidental Reaver creation was exposed by Mal's crew.

Depending on the cast and of course the writing i would be up for it but the original cast was lightning in a bottle, it will be hard to do again and if they do it i hope Browncoats will keep an open mind about it and give it a chance.
 
I doubt it's connected, but...

Boom Comics dropped its licence to do Firefly comics in 2024, after six years and dozens of comics published.

Titan books published its ninth licenced Firefly novel in 2024 and doesn't seem to have anything new lined up.

Was there just not enough interest in Firefly tie-ins? Or did terms for the licences change due to possible new plans? The former seems a bit more likely, given that news stories give the impression that it was Boom that walked away from Firefly rather than the licence being pulled, but who knows.
 
Starring Inara and Mal's son, who's existence Inara hide from him...for reasons. :shifty:
I remember late 2019/very early 2020 when there was a rumor of a Firefly revival going on amidst the buzz for the impending premiere of Picard S1, someone suggested "may they'll do a Firefly version of Star Trek Picard." I made the joke about the show being about a retired Mal now living on a ranch with his dog, a German Shepherd named Book.
 
I would have (maybe) been a lot more excited by this prospect back before I know what I do about Joss Whedon and Adam Baldwin these days. While I'm open to the possibility that Firefly could be good without them, I have, unfortunately, doubts. But I'd rather have nothing than a series that involves either (much less both) of them.
Firefly doesn't need Joss Whedon, it needs Tim Minear. I'm looking forward to the new episodes of Buffy and he has nothing to do with them whatsoever. As for Adam Baldwin...:shrug:I'm torn on that one.

I am utterly indifferent to a Firefly sequel, but I'd be interested in an Only Murders in the Building-type murder thing set at a science-fiction convention. If Fillion's reuniting the cast for that, a bunch of actors from a cult sf series who get caught up in mysterious doings behind the scenes of a convention, I'd be in.
