Beg to disagree. Star Trek was canceled after the third season because of the manner in which they took ratings numbers in the 1960s. The demographics were good but the total numbers weren't. The difference was that Star Trek went immediately into reruns and was kicked around between a movie and a revived series for nearly ten years before the movie was finally made. I see the major factors being so similar to require the parallel to be drawn. The differences can only be told by time.

Re: Firefly - Possible Season 2?

I dunno if it wll ever happen either - not sure I'd want it to unless it was the same as before in most details. But then again, is this how devoted trekkies felt before TNG came along?

I expect someone will eventually resurrect firefly, but I'm not holding my breath for it happening this generation

I, too, would prefer to have the same cast, same ship, and same dynamic. But I have so much faith in Joss that I'd take whatever version of Firefly he can give us, even if significant details have to change. He could make a variant work.

Re: Firefly - Possible Season 2?

It would be really neat if there was another season of the show, maybe scifi will pick it up for another season but even if they do not there can always be another movie. They could do a movie of how River and Simon ended up on the ship that would be a neat movie or even another movie just after the previous movie showing how everyone is moving on after this change in their lives. Either way it would be neat to have some more with these characters.

My point was that Star Trek was in it's 3rd season there before it was cancelled - Firefly didn't even get one entire season. If a show gets three seasons, it's hard to describe it as failed - perhaps not as successful as it could have been, but it still had a decent chance to show what it could do.

I really hope that they do make sequels to Serenity and Firefly season 2, but I'm sceptical about season 2 happening in the near future. Serenity seems to have been just successful enough (if DVD sales keep going up as they have been) to justify another film when the cast can get back together for it, but it hasn't been a spectacular success so a season 2 still remains unlikely. I'd love to see it though, but at the moment I think it's most realistic to hope for another film.
