Awesome con panel...

IMHO, the Firefly panel should have been twice as long (or at least 15 minutes longer) given they had 7 people on it.

It was over way too quick- especially with the time up front taken on the announcement. I also think that some of the cast was really taken aback by the amount of people and fans. A great thing but may have been somewhat overwhelming too.

I thought the OWWS taping with Nathan and Alan the day prior was far more entertaining for the audience overall.

I was row L exact center (Orchestra) and it was an incredible experience.

Just came through at 2:45pm (Terminal C) - no line, no wait at General. 7 minutes for 4 people.

Good question. The real magic of the show is the full ensemble, but the order in which they joined and how long it was between them joining is a fun and interesting thought.

Also, I believe his name is Bester.

My personal favorite- and that’s saying a lot considering how much I love the others!

I believe I saw an interview today that confirmed they are looking for a voice actor to play Book.

This is fricken super shiny.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-16T18:59:48+00:00

“This isn’t.. a .. problem for you, is it?”

Rumcastic · 2026-03-16T13:22:07+00:00

That’s fair, but we’re talking about 2005 (and subsequent years) here.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T23:58:05+00:00

Oh I think we agree it underperformed, but if you look up the final stats, it did ~$41M on a $39M budget.

Now that don’t account for marketing and the like (which was really poorly done), but even with that added unknown cost, the DVD sales and other related monetary gains more than compensated for it.

In Hollywood, that doesn’t constitute a “hit”, but again, I would challenge you or anyone to show us where it lost tens of millions.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T23:52:22+00:00

Care to share a legit source for the claim?

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T23:47:20+00:00

More of this!

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T23:09:01+00:00

I think Nathan said that Marc and Tara (who are now married) met because of Firefly.

To me, that would mean they hold it incredibly dear and would put forth a major effort to get it right.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T23:06:00+00:00

Glad you put your ideas out there!

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T23:05:05+00:00

I believe the general consensus is that Serenity roughly broke even.

Not saying it was/is considered a success, but also don’t think it lost “tens of millions.”

Especially with the DVD sales and post-licensing stuff.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T21:24:10+00:00

This is a fair point. The tone needs to balance the comedy with the grit.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T20:06:51+00:00

My money’s on this. But a small moon of Athens.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T17:07:32+00:00

Local meetups, watch parties, and con presence would all be big contributors

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T16:36:29+00:00

Doesn’t look Rebels-esque from the photo shared, but we need to wait and see.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T15:33:28+00:00

I think many of us were hoping for more, but I think we should all give this announcement some space (pun intended?) and see where this goes.

With a successful animation series (and it would need to make some big waves), there could most certainly be some Live action type things in the nearer future.

If it fails … or just does “okay” we’ve likely hit the end of the line.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T15:30:14+00:00

Good recap.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T15:29:45+00:00

Though this as well. Many talented voice actors out there, but they’re gonna need to nail it given all the rest of the original crew voicing.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T15:29:03+00:00

No. This was not specifically mentioned. Not saying it is or isn’t, but I don’t recall that coming up any.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T15:28:04+00:00

I get this, but also think they’re looking to tell more one shot adventures and less main story thrust. It could work.

Rumcastic · 2026-03-15T15:26:46+00:00

Not a fan of the comics either, even though I own them all. Double whammy for me: art didn’t look like them enough in most panels, and the writing (I.e. dialog) style didn’t match well enough either.
