They took the sky from me

an excerpt from Unseelie's LJ, about the fate of Firefly.

When Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon looks back on 2005, he
can take comfort in knowing that his film-directing debut, the sci-fi Western
Serenity, resurrected his canceled-too-soon cult classic TV series
Firefly, and was also one of the year's best-reviewed movies. ''I should
say I'm above reading reviews,'' he says. ''But I would be lying.'' Alas,
Whedon's fond memories are also tainted by Serenity's status as a
franchise nonstarter; despite Universal's best marketing efforts, the film only
mustered $25 million. ''In the end, it was what it was: a tough sell,'' says
Whedon, adding that it appears the Firefly saga has reached its
conclusion. He has no regrets and he's moving on.

Maybe Joss will be nice enough to answer a few questions about where the show was going.
In the grand scheme of things... well, fuck the grand scheme of things. There was a powerful lot of good storytelling to come out of that Verse.
It will be a shame not to see them.

That's from Entertainment Weekly, I think, I was just reading it in the bathroom... He said he was working on a comic series, sort of the things he would have done with Buffy Season 8.

And I got to see Bones for the first time tonight. I liked it.

I would definitely pick up the Buffy season 8 comic. Maybe he could do something like that with Firefly, but I suspect he wants to put that behind him, and focus on future endeavors.
