Firefly Revival Confirmed

[UnplayedRanger]

Could we just let some things rest please?

I like! Animation is an interesting choice, it does give them more flexibility that age wouldn't allow. I'll be disappointed if it doesn't happen, but I'll not invest myself too much into expectations. If it happens, great! If not, aww...

And even if this isn't for every old Firefly fan, just imagine the IP having a new boost and that might mean more (new) stories in other types of media, even the possibility of a new live-action series with a new cast (and possibly parts of the old cast). I'm just happy the cast is still alive! Similar hopes for series like Babylon 5 were quickly ended by reality...

No Ron Glass, sadly, so someone else will need to fill in as Shepherd Book.

Ron Glass

True, but even if he was still with us, he would be 80 years old and not every 80 year old is the same spry 80 year old... I wonder who's voice Shepherd Book will feature? Or will they write him out of the animation?

I would be interested to see whether the way they portray the politics of the show will have shifted given the analysis we have had in the intervening years. The one thing that has me leery is any involvement with Whedon. How do you work around a series creator when the original show was so short?

By simply getting his blessings to use his creation, then not going back to him. They already have those blessings.

Hoping it is good. Liked the original but a lot has happened since then with beloved shows.

Star Trek has an animated phase, I’m looking forward to it.

I just read a good point that someone had, regarding Shepherd Book: There's could be quite a bit of time between the final episode of "Firefly", when he left for Haven, and its destruction. They could leave his character out entirely.

 

[Richards]

That would be my guess. Maybe a scene of them dropping him off at Haven, and then that's all we see of him in the animated show.

Look, I enjoyed Firefly back in the day, but Serenity was a perfectly fine finale. I dunno, I'd rather have had the Buffy show and it didn't make it.
