Personally I find Firefly to be incredibly overrated. It's a good show, and I'd watch it if it came back on, but people get a little too hyperbolic regarding it. The show was two great characters and then like 6 bland crew members.
These types of comments lead people to a life of hellfire.

People may hate me for it, but try and tell me that anyone on that show beside Mal and Jayne weren't dull and I'll call you a liar!
Nathan Fillion carried the show almost as much as he carries Castle.
Can't argue that Fillion is a tour de force, but you are so wrong about everything else it's frightening.
Wash. River. Book. All very interesting characters that somehow got developed over it's incredibly short period (or in the case of Book, hinted at, teased even). And that's not mentioning the awesome side-characters like Badger, Saffron (Mrs Reynolds), and Tracey.
Firefly was a rare convergence of character driven story writing combined with solid acting and a unique take on Sci-Fi. How this show got canceled and tripe like Lost went on for 6 seasons I'll never comprehend (apologies to people who actually like Lost... both of you).

I don't hate you for it... well maybe. I never found the other characters dull at all.
And I think Stana Katic more than holds her own with Fillion in Castle.

That's because every time she smiles and looks up I want to do her. There will be some kinda doing!

I've never seen Firefly but Nathan Fillion is a very good actor. He was great in Slither (awesome "B" horror movie. . . and it has Corb Lund so you can't miss) and portrays Castle perfectly.

I might have to look into Firefly now.
Do it. It's cheap, buy it. Or I will deliver mine to your house. That's how strong I feel about sharing Firefly.

Castle is a sub-par show without Fillion (even with Stana), but Fillion is so awesome he elevates it to "must watch". Firefly on the other hand was awesome without Fillion. With Fillion he made Firefly THE best show evar!
Last week, Fillion, who now stars in ABC's "Castle," told Entertainment Weekly he'd love to play Mal again. Then, he ratcheted things up a notch.
"If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to "Firefly," make it on my own, and distribute it on the internet," Fillion told EW, a CNN.com partner.
Then, some possibly surprising online reactions started rolling in.
The next day, former "Firefly" writer Jose Molina wrote on Twitter: "For what it's worth, I've told him I'd drop what I was doing and follow."
Then, Jane Espenson, who wrote an episode, chimed in: "I'm there, if needed," she tweeted. Jewel Staite, who played ace mechanic Kaylee on the show, had a simple answer when a Twitter follower asked if she'd be on board: "Is the Pope Catholic?"
The goal? To set up a means of collecting pledges that would turn into donations if a revived "Firefly" looks like it could become a reality.
The pledge system hadn't been officially created as of Tuesday, but fans were already writing in the site's comment section that they're willing to pony up.
In five days, the site's Facebook group had picked up more than 33,000 members -- about 10,000 of them in the past 24 hours.
