Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

move out and draw fire
I actually found myself nodding along with that article. Pretty impressive that a TV character can communication that kind of psyho-depth at all, let alone in 13/14 eps.
Was reading the thread over at Slashdot, and this puzzled me:
If the Sci-Fi channel is showing the series, they would have had to buy out the broadcast contract from Fox. Assuming that the show pulls in some decent ratings, I wouldn't be surprised to see Joss writing a new season and production starting as early as this fall depending on availability of the cast.
Do they mean for Sci-Fi? Or whuh? I don't follow the logic here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
whuh?
I think that is the logic.

This is where that person is confused:

Fox still owns the broadcast rights, right?
Do they mean for Sci-Fi?
I think that's what they mean.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's a hop, skip and a jump from syndicating a completed series to putting up the dough for a 9-person cast, a movie director and from-scratch space western production, right? Like five or ten more dollars?

Also, from what I hear, the deal with Universal committed to no new show (either absolutely, or not for a set period). Even if the movie's successful, it's not going to roll right back into tv show production.

I may have to seize the cat.
I am operating on the assumption that Sci Fi paid for syndication, whereas Fox owns all first-run rights. But even so, I thought there was some deal with Universal where there can be no new show for some period of time (5 yrs?) in case they want to make more movies.

Saw the Serenity trailer last night for the first time (I am slow). The trailer, as trailers should, showed all the best parts of the movie while keeping mum about the not-best parts. If I hadn't already seen the movie, I would have been pretty well intrigued to see it.

Popping in to ask: Does Tim have any involvement with the movie?
I think I've earned my first Firefly toaster -- I've got my about-to-turn 65 mom watching the DVDs. (She's already a huge Buffy and Angel fan -- watches them in syndication, and on DVD, and quotes them from memory.) So far we've only made it through the first disc, so we've only watched Serenity, The Train Job, and Bushwhacked. She really likes Zoe, is relieved to see that Mal is not as hard and unlikable as he first appeared in Serenity, and is looking forward to River being a bit more functional.
