JMS has agreed to come to the Fedcon in Bonn next year! Though he put a "provided my working schedule allows" it caveat there, and since the man is a workoholic, that's a serious thing to consider. But still, methinks I'll be in Bonn next spring, being extremely fangirlish. Now some con organizers just have to lure Joss Whedon and his fellow ME scribes there, and I'd be rendered incoherent. And hey, why not? They could promote the new Firefly movie to an audience of Sci-Fi fans.

Ah, Firefly. I just rewatched some more episodes. Oh, to have seven years, or even five. Well, maybe we'll get them still, if the movie works, but I do wonder. The Star Trek movies aside, how many TV shows made it on the big screen with the same actors and continuity to the show? Though perhaps the fact we only had half a season of canon will make it easier to come up with something that works as a standalone as well.

It makes me realize once again how very, very lucky we were that JMS managed to get the entire five seasons of Babylon 5 on the air the way he did, the occasional actor departing and the last minute picking up by TNT not withstanding. Just imagine if B5 had been had been cancelled after the first season. Not only would we never have gotten B5 itself (and what we got would have been condemned as confusing, since there was so much set-up), but I doubt that the boys over at Paramount would ever have dared to do arcs on DS9. And who knows how other genre shows like Farscape or the Jossverse ones would have looked like.

Back to watching
