I think there's something to be said for Whedon's concern.<\/p>\n

"There's a real fear of 'The Monkey's Paw,' you know? You bring it back to life and it isn't the same. Even if it's GREAT and it isn't the same."<\/i><\/p>\n

Honestly, even the first<\/i> movie "wasn't the same," and suffered for it (as much as I enjoyed it). I'd love to see more Firefly\/Serenity<\/i> — but, truth be told, what made the series special requires<\/i> a series, not another movie, and I just don't see that happening.<\/p>\n

Plus (and this is a painful reality), everyone's a decade older (me, too). \u00a0And that would really require a bit of a change as \u00a0well. It could be a good change, an interesting change, but it wouldn't be the "same" that I think a lot of the fans are looking for (self included) — not a frozen-in-amber snapshot, but an immediate continuation of the story-that-was. Which lightning in a bottle cannot ever be recovered (though if anyone is passing through here from a parallel universe with compatible disc technology where "Firefly" didn't<\/i> get canceled would care to contact me, I would pay a large sum of money for the Series 2-5 sets …)<\/div>\n
