Eventually, "Firefly" gained enough cultural traction to warrant a follow-up feature film, 2005's "Serenity." The film was meant, according to fan scuttlebutt, to be the show's unmade second season condensed into 119 minutes. Since 2005, "Firefly" has remained in the realm of board games and tie-in comic books. Since the ousting of Whedon for alleged bad behavior on various sets, demands for a reboot...
