So this is the official word from Joss Whedon, the creator of short-lived, much-beloved scifi series "Firefly":
Hi boys and odd, smooth, compellingly bumpy non-boys. I’m in Liverpool,
on Alexis’ lap… sorry, laptop, checking in and seeing all sorts of
nonsense about a sequel to something… There’s no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and
I’m not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there. I’ve seen
Nathan and Tim (and Summer and Alan) recently because they’re my
friends because I’m so, yeah, awesome. So let’s put that to bed and
smother it with a pillow.
I guess they CAN take the sky from me. Sigh. There’s always Washtown, I guess.
He didn’t say it wasn’t ever coming back, just that there were no plans to do so at the moment. Given how many other things he has in the works, this is not news; he had to post only because of the *previous* wild misinterpretation of something he said.
I think it’s time to admit that the Alliance has won.
That’s not quite what Joss says.
