Red Superfly
You creepy little stalker
Don't say I fancy the guy, but he is a total dude. I thought his character Mal in Firefly was awesome.
A part of me wishes Firefly would return, but another hopes it stays dead, mainly because Wash won't be in it (man, I still feel gutted about that bit in Serenity - Whedon knows how to work an audience) and a lot of loose ends were tied up anyways, leaving just a few loose ends left alone for us to keep some mysetry alive.
The exact opposite could have happened, it could have been a huge success and the whole thing would have been done to death. Things on Fox tend to either die prematurely or get milked for all its worth (The Simpsons, and maybe even Family Guy now they know they're onto a good thing there). I'd have hated for Firefly to die a slow painful death. It was a flash in the pan, but what a ride.
It's a shame Fox made Whedon give us "the end" way before it was due, but I could watch the short-lived TV series and the movie over and over more times than any fecking Simpsons episode. F*ck you Fox.
Is there an actual Firefly thread somewhere around here? Could do with resurrecting that.
