Re: Firefly

It does seem to be true, from this newcomer's eyes, that the Firefly sub forum is pretty quiet. Not many new posts.

I have to say that I don't think there is a high likelihood of a "Serenity" movie sequel. A lot of plot mysteries were resolved in the movie, plus a couple of major characters were rubbed out. Reminiscent of the "Farscape" Gotterdammerung.

Some food for thought: I went to a film seminar the first of this year and the instructor for one segment was quite willing to discuss Joss Whedon's work. She made the point that Firefly was a sci-fi version of "Stagecoach". I have to admit she has a point. Similar characters: a doctor, a prostitute, a gunslinger (John Wayne as Mal???) and even a preacher (the liquor salesman repeatedly referred to as "the reverend" by the doctor, Thomas Mitchell). Lots of adventures along the way. I can definitely see it.

I wonder if Joss Whedon ever admitted to a connection.

Regards,

Jim
