I would think the best HL/HL2 movie would not be centered on Freeman at all. Much like Opposing Force and Blue Shift centered on background characters, having the movie tell a different story of the same world would work. JJ Abrahms or Joss Whedon please.

>> ^jwray:
Captain Picard is a nearly impeccable hero.

True, but he was a Frenchie liberal.

Mal's an American, through and through.

I do wish our iconic heros were more like Picard, and less like Mal. Might have saved us from the last eight years.

I also wish the networks would fuck off and let Joss Whedon do whatever the fuck he wants. I hear they're already giving him crap about Dollhouse, and they have yet to even air a single episode.

The series is set in the year 2517, after humans have arrived at a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things".

The show explores the lives of people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and now make a living on the outskirts of the society, as well as the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures as well. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today.

Mal - Latin, for bad.

I found this while searching for the reason firefly was canceled.

Dear Joss,

After that power brunch we had yesterday I just thought I'd send you a memo and let you know that I've talked with the other executives here at FOX and we've decided to give your little space western idea another chance. However, and I'm sure you'll understand why, we ask for a few simple adjustments to your marvelous show idea before we can continue.

1. We need to have things blow up more often. Something should blow up at least once in between every commercial break. Two or three things blowing up in between each commercial break would be even better.
2. The women on the show should kiss the men on the show more often, and each other just a little less (as in, not at all).
3. The name "Firefly" doesn't seem to properly convey the idea of a space western. We recommend you rename the show "Space Western" so that the viewers don't confuse your show with a PBS documentary about fluorescent beetles.
4. The focus groups who reported to my assistant after viewing one of your episodes said they didn't really understand who the bad guys were. We recommend you have all the good guys on the show wear white hats and all the bad guys wear black hats, so the viewers are better able to keep track at a glance just who they're supposed to be rooting for.
5. We recommend you add a new character to the show. A cute little girl. Focus groups respond best to dark haired girls who are about nine or ten years old. We know this is a science fiction program so we recommend you make her a robot who speaks in a monotone manner and takes anything other characters say very literally, to comical effect.
6. The women on the show are wearing too many clothes.
7. You put the show in outer space but I don't recall there ever being any actual aliens showing up. So we recommend you get some of your makeup guys from the Buffy tv show and have them doctor up some extras to make them look like Little Green Men or something. Also make sure they're wearing black hats.
8. Drop that Ron Glass guy. He's a bore.
9. Focus groups reported that the rooms inside the spaceship looked too much like a poorly furnished studio apartment. We recommend you repaint all the sets to make them look more like those cool sets on that old Star Trek show. Make sure there's a lot of bright flashing lights and "beep beep" noises in the background.
10. The women on the show need to be prettier. Go wherever you got that cute Gellar chick and hire some more who look like that.
11. Get in touch with the Jim Henson Company and add some aliens that are actually muppets. Kids like muppets. You can't go wrong with muppets. Or maybe get that guy who does ALF. He's been doing some phone commercials recently, but I'm sure he's available. Make ALF a guest star every few episodes and maybe we can get the 1-800-COLLECT guys to put a commercial on your show.
12. Make the 'future' of the Earth a little brighter. People wanna believe we're gonna do better. Right now the show's outlook is just a little depressing.

Of course you'll understand that we will not be offering any more money for these changes. In fact in order to broadcast your fine television show on our network, we ask for a simple retainer of $250,000.00 per episode, to defray the costs regarding a lack of interest among advertisers.

We look forward to working with you again.

Sincerely,
S. Skankowski

Dear Skanky,

Get Bent.

As always,
Joss

Joss Whedon had some skill but now hes become a cliche of himself since he killed Tara

I hate Joss Whedon too. Two words: Astonishing X-Men.

This looks good, but it makes me sad that Joss Whedon has yet another show on Fox that'll probably be canceled before its time. I have no idea why he keeps going back to that stupid network. He's like a battered wife who continually returns to her abusive husband, insisting that this time he's changed.

Darn, I was hoping for something related to Joss Whedon.

This arc is called World Breaker, although the past 1 or 2 arcs have built up too it... aw hell who am I kidding, its worth picking up all like 5 or 6 trades of astonishing x-men its just a damn good read.

I really need to get back into comics. Whats the story arc for that last part you mentioned? Sounds like it's pretty current.

While you're correct he didn't become a bad ass ( a TRUE badass ) until he lost his powers, your time-line is a bit off. Cyclops was one of the 198 mutants remaining with his powers, he was not affected by the Scarlet Witches "No More Mutants" curse. It wasn't until much later in Astonishing X-Men (written by bad ass Joss Whedon) when Emma Frost disabled his powers in his brain, causing him to go a little nuts, and start shooting people. As we saw in the last issue of Astonishing he kept his surpressed powers as a ruse, until he decided to blow the head off of the Breakworld leader.

Cyclops didn't become a badass until he lost his powers after the House of M events. That's when his character got cool.

It's Cyclops. Leader of the X-Men. Badass.
