Watch it! Waaatch iiiiit!!!

and holy crap. 10 years...

Castling up with a lack of Firefly advancement.

So for those of you following the Help Nathan buy Firefly Facebook group, or following him on twitter @NathanFillion - Whedon has basically said "Nay!" to the resurrection of Firefly. I am somewhat disappointed, but not surprised. The cancellation of his "dream show" and the hassle that followed means it probably took quite some time to bury things - I think this is evident with the release of Serenity.

This is not breaking news at this point, but I decided that I should get my Fillion on and finally got round to getting a shot at seeing Castle. I must say, I watched most of the first two seasons in the space of 3 days. It is awesome.

I think I have officially got the wife hooked as well, and it makes for some good chillaxe-time viewing :-)

I may haz a man-crush o.O

FireFly... to be or not to be? :o

So yeah, the daily geek has been putting posts up regarding the possible ressurection of FireFly...

As I understand it, at the very least Nathan Fillion is wanting to do it - and the old crew (writers, etc - not cast.) are game to make things work - but by the sounds of it they will make it webisodes rather than a TV series.

I love FireFly... I was saddened by Serenity (awesome film, but it pretty much killed off the hopes of a reboot) and the fact that this looks like this could be completely different makes me... sceptical.

If it follows on from Serenity, then things are clearly going to be different (Ill avoid spoilers here.). If it does not, what are the chances they will get the original crew? In my eyes, its going to be a sort-of spin-off of FireFly. Different crew, different format - and if its done in webisode form: Different quality (I have yet to see a web-based series that is of high quality. The best I have seen is The Guild and Dr. Horrible's sing along blog - and they have this "feel" to it that flags them as low budget productions - made for fun, with some impressive results.

Regarding the crew: many of them are main stream actors/actresses now (although some were before) that are contracted in to do other stuff, if they are not interested enough to do it on the cheap - I doubt we will see them. I know firefly was not done with a massive budget, but it seems to add to its charm.

Anyway, it sounds like Im slating it all - Im all for it... Im just worried that its going to be TOO different, but Ill take any portion of Firefly they wish to dish out! Even if it is just the adventures of Malcolm Reynolds and the glowy-bummed space-junker.
