<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Frankly, I'd be surprised. My wife was a serious follower on Firefly's forum. It seems the set for Firefly was very expensive and was due to be dismantled by a particular date if Fox didn't change their mind. That date has come and gone and the contract option expired. So...it seems very unlikely.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh don't get me started with Insurrection. The biggest plot hole that I have ever seen is in that movie. When the Enterprise entered the system they already were getting the special effect from the planet and they were not that close yet. (remember the comment about Riker's beard?) So if the effects extended into space why bother trying to move the Alien population? Just place a few space stations in orbit and you get all the good effect and you don't have to violate the Prime Directive.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Interesting, yes. Cool? Not exactly. Should they get rid of the character? NO!

I guess it's more semantics than anything.

Joss failed to show up at the Angel "end of the season party". Instead he sent a video of himself (yada-yada-yada). In the video, he stated the reason he couldn't make it to the party was because he had just gotten word that a project of his had been relit (re-lit?)

Now...you know how Firefly-aholics can be (you should check thier forum sometime...but I leave that up to my wife). Anyway, people are buzzing (pardon the pun) around wanting to know if "relit" is a clue that means Firefly has been given new life. Get it? Firefly...relit...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Very veeerry interesting. I'm amazed I haven't heard this anywhere else.

But then, I might add that Joss has more than a few attempted projects that never panned, and he could be referring to any one of them (Buffy animated, the UK Ripper series, and I believe there was one other). But if it is.... HELL yes. Was afraid, with Buffy going and Angel bubbled, my sci-fi fixes would be gone. Now Angel's all but confirmed, and possibly, just possibly...

Oh, Book, and Jayne. They're all great characters, but those two were by far the most interesting.

Rad, yeah, I think Book is interesting. Always wondered if he used to be some sort of agent. I used to watch him loooonnnngg ago on Barney Miller.

The think FireFly peeps have been keying on is the use of the word, "re-lit". Like a Firefly would light up and so forth. "Re-lit" sounds like something that had been extinguished and now is being re-lit. So, the Ripper series in England was never canceled or disapproved...Joss just hasn't taken the time to do it. Doesn't seem like it would be Angel as it never was canceled. Sooo....speculation abounds.

I gave up on the series when they kept insisting the ship was unarmed.

Sure, it didn't have any systems that were specifically weapons, but the effectivness of any reaction mass drive (as their engine was) as a weapon is directly proportional to its effectiveness as a drive. This is why NASA places a small lake under the launchpad for the space shuttle; it is there to absorb all the energy. They had demonstrated that the ship has the ability to hover in place in a gravity well; flying over something at even medium range would be quite devastating, especially as the vessle was, what, 40 kilotons?
