"Haha. From this perspective he does kinda look like Michael J Fox. That's Scott Wolf, Morena's co-star in V.

And you honestly didn't know who Morena is? Then go watch Firefly and Serenity, nao!! And then watch V afterwards.

In related news, Elizabeth Mitchell (Erica on V) was in Law&Order: Special Victims Unit this week."

"Well, the heartbreak is not in "not having more", but (thinking to the TSCC experience) in not having had<b><u>ALL</u></b>, so, knowing in advance that a serialized show is a canceled one doesn't help, because you know that a writer decided to tell a story, began to do, then has been interrupted, so you only have a part of the story and some question <u>he decided to answer to</u> haven't been answered.
Say you love coca-cola... If the "top secret" receipt is lost, no coca-cola can be longer produced, but what you've drunk till that moment was coca-cola (to the last drop!)... if you buy a book (say a thriller) begin to read it, find it "awesome", to then find that the last pages are damaged (except the last one, saying "unique copy"), that's another story!
Much probably, if you knew that before, you never touched that book!
That's the same with a show: if a non-serialized show is canceled, even if it was the best ever made, no real pain, because each episode ended its story. Many good shows are deleted because "out of date", or because actors/writers died. This is bad for a fan, but they move on, knowing that each single episode was good and ended (and maybe re watching them sometimes)
If they (the fans) asked for years for something (to then get Serenity) that's because the story WASN'T ended... but (correct me if I'm wrong), for what I know, the movie only partially continued the original story, (cause the willing to have it in the cinemas, to have a movie "for everyone, not only for fans"... huge mistake, IMO... and, having not viewed it, it should be an impartial opinion)"

"1. Especially since I saw Firefly in the correct sequence

2. @I.Join, Since you are so interested in getting proper closure for TSCC, it would make sense for you to see how a movie ending to a series might work. I agree there are strengths and weaknesses to this. I think you owe it to yourself and to your commitment to wanting some kind of closure for TSCC. You should view Firefly/Serenity."

"1. Which is the wrong one? (A wrong one is the one they used here, to air the show in 2006, but I doubt this is your case)
2. That's exactly the kind of movie I don't want: a 90' movie made for all. For TSCC I want a (split) 3hours movie made for who knows the show*, so, even if you're going to convince me (and I'll view it, but I don't know when), I already know I don't want that kind of movie... I believe that, as you both write, 90' may have been good in Firefly's case, but will not be for TSCC.

*Just in case, after SyFy re-airs the show, it becomes very popular, I want T5 as a continuation (made by JF for WB), but that's extremely unlikely, because every Terminator movie "needs" to have much more action than the show, which is a drama... I think that the definition of "spin-off" is the best they gave it."

"1. They aired the episodes out of order. The pilot explained some of the backstory, but they did not air it first. I believe this created some confusion with the viewers. Also, they chose not to air the last few episodes at all. I considered that to be a loss for the viewers because I enjoyed those episodes on the discs.

2. Yes, the movie worked for Firefly. And I agree that it might not work so well for TSCC. (But I don't know for sure because I haven't seen it because it hasn't been made.)"

"...
3. Yes Sir, I'll do, Sir! :P"

"3. maybe It's not prohibitive (if we're not talking about 90' but at least 120, very few of which used for fight scenes), if you remove unneeded parts leaving only needed ones, but, doing so, you have 2 problems:
a. you tell us which parts were important and which weren't, so, who knows the show, could understand things before they are told in the movie;
b. they could decide (to reduce length) to cut some needed parts.
Anyway, in TSCC case, if they want to produce a cinema movie, they'll use that money for T5, so I think that they will never not even think about a cinema sequel of TSCC (plus, remember that for each Terminator movie that goes to the cinema, Pacificor has to pay 5 million $)"

"Anyway, I was (always) talking about a movie made with the original ideas for S3 (/4) by the original writers (as I know Serenity to be, since that's what we started from)."
