I love Serenity, but to have the gang back together? Yeah, I could forget it happened.
Oh, I'm sure they could figure out some way to revive Wash and get the gang back together. I'd love to see a Firefly reunion or revival.
Given where Whedon wanted to go with Season 2, I think it could be incredibly interesting. However, I have a feeling (can't recall a quote, so this may or may not be accurate-reckless speculation) that Joss wants to move forward and not look back.
I think there is still plenty to be done in the 'Verse, but I'm not sure how it would go.
I think that most of what made Firefly popular was cast, and of course Joss Whedon. When you take those away you end up with pretty basic scifi-show set in space. There was some interesting worldbuilding, but nothing that wouldnt just as easily work in a completely new show without the "burden" of a reboot/reimagining, etc what fans would throw at it.
I think a mixture of old cast and new would work out just fine.
'Galaxy Quest- The Next Generation', possibly?
Has it? Because this reminds me a lot of the chatter from 2004/5, where people were saying that because the Firefly DVD sales were like #1 on Amazon or something, and discussion forums were buzzing with Firefly topics, that Serenity would handily make the $80 million target Universal wanted in order to justify a sequel.
And that didn't happen. Because as "popular" as something seems online, that doesn't really translate to real-world popularity. Firefly was always a niche thing.
I love Firefly. I love the movie, too. But could it really come back? I'm not sure.
Same here.
Technically Serenity has come back, like 3 or 4 times at least, just not as a movie or TV series. Dark Horse is on their second post-movie mini-series right now, and before the first one they also did a stand-alone one offs, one of which finally filled in Book's backstory. Seriously, if want more Serenity/Firefly, check out the comics, they're great and I believe they've all had at least some level of involvement from Joss Whedon or one of his brothers.
I thought it rather looked like a mutant manatee.
Yeah, those aliens reminded me more of Krall than Jem-Haddar like some others mentioned.
Any idea when/if The Orville will be rebroadcast on Hulu or Amazon?

I don't know if it's still the same, but before Hulu went paid only, the US version would post network shows the day after they air for free. I stopped using it once it switched over to subscription only, so I don't know if that's still the case.
Amazon usually posts them to buy the day after they air, but the free Prime versions can take months to 1 year+.

most FOX network shows do post to Hulu the day after
