Well, it's semi-official: Firefly is on the verge of coming back. All it needs is a network to host the episodes, from what I understand. (Disclaimer: I'm not in the industry, so I'm not an expert about the process involved in getting a show on the air.)

At this year's Awesome Con, the actor disclosed that an animated Firefly series is in advanced development at 20th Television Animation, and it will bring the original cast back together.
It will apparently take place between season one and the movie, so Wash will presumably be in it (which I fully support, even if the new show took place after the movie and they had to retcon him back in).
An animated series is a good idea, I think. Probably the best way to go given the age of the actors and the desire to bring Wash back. I agree with the animation decision.
I just hope it doesn't suck. We all hope it doesn't suck. Unfortunately, the IP is owned by Disney, and that's not encouraging given their performance in recent years, so we'll have to get lucky on this one.
But whatever happens... you can't take the sky from me!
ADDENDUM: I just had a thought. You know what would be cool?
Rotoscoping.
That way, the fans who prefer a live action series would essentially get it, but we'd also have the benefits of animation. Best of both worlds.
I know this will never happen. No one does rotoscoping anymore. But a man can dream.
