1. Firefly
I could just say the shows title and leave it at that. Anyone whos a true geek will have heard of Firefly even if they havent watched it. Still, better safe than sorry. Firefly was about a group of space explorers living on the outskirts of society in the future. Humanity has left Earth behind, and the new star system they occupy is ruled by the Alliance. Essentially a Western in space, the show followed Malcolm Reynolds and the crew of the Serenity as they traveled in space fighting the forces of the Alliance as well as criminals and others who would do them harm, although the crew mostly tried to earn enough income to keep the ship working. Despite critical acclaim by fans, the show was cancelled after one season. Even with a follow-up movie three years later, fans today are still hoping that Firefly will be revived. Yet lets be honest, as a TV show, thats not going to happen. With Joss Whedon being Marvel Studios new golden boy, Nathan Fillion solving crimes on ABC, and the rest of the cast going their separate ways, its quite apparent that we wont see the crew of the Serenity on our TV screens ever again. Still, the great thing about the shows short history is that it could go anywhere, and thats where the comic book comes in. Plot-wise, there were not that many loose threads left over from the show and movie, so its possible that a series could be created that appeals to both fans and newcomers. We can continue to follow Captain Reynolds and his crew as they travel across the pioneer-looking galaxy as they try to make their living. This would be perfect for a company like IDW or Dynamite Entertainment to take on. The skys the limit when it comes to Firefly...or rather the galaxy is.
