TTGs do Firefly
TellTale seem to know how to go after cool licenses that everyone fears are dead, and then turn them into something cool again... Or they take highly respected and loved licenses and bring them to a new audience.
The TV show Firefly (also known to some as the movie Serenity) is both of these things, plus it would really allow TellTale to do something very different: Drama.
TTGs skills have progressed so far since they first brought us Sam and Max Season 1. They've become more confident and adept, and their games have improved and improved. There's no reason for them to rest on their laurels now, they could take another step and evolve further.
For those who don't know, or who never got a chance to be properly exposed to the show/move, Firefly is a wonderful world of intelligent comedy and enjoyable drama. It's a futuristic sci-fi universe, but don't let that put you off if that doesn't sound like your thing: This show was different, it focused on the people and their troubles, and not technology and stoic characters. Because of this, the show also enjoyed a large female audience, despite being a sort of a Western, set in space. The world centers around 9 interesting and loveable characters. There's never been anything quite like it, and it's still got a die-hard contingency of fans following it (a new book featuring stories written by the show's original writers has just been released). Just like Monkey Island and Sam and Max before it, this universe is ripe and waiting for someone to come along and tell some more stories.
I know this is a long-shot, but I just thought I'd try to plant some seeds
Please keep up the good work, TellTale!

[1] And there was talk of a Firefly MMO a few years ago, but that didn't and probably never will get off the ground. To be honest, an MMO could work - the Firefly universe at least was well fleshed out although we didn't get to see much of it, so having characters be Alliance, (ex-)Browncoat or neutral merchants, traders, and smugglers in the game travelling around and interacting could have been a good way to explore the universe more, without having to worry about actually putting the Firefly characters (Serenity crew) in the centre of the action.
Alcoremortis and teflon were quick to reply, feeling the very same.
Fox unfortunately would have a say in the matter; still, the rights were transferred to Universal studios for "Serenity".
It has been suggested in earlier incarnations of the same type of thread as well.
I am not surprised.
Could the honorable TTG fan artists design the Firefly main characters as possibly portrayed by the TT engine?
You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is.
I hate most everything Joss Whedon has done, and maintain that he's basically worthless, as my least favorite episodes of Firefly (including the movie, which was just a big episode basically) were the ones he had the most to do with, but Firefly is great in spite of Whedon, not because of.
I feel the same way about Toy Story.
That is some wicked haterade there
As for my thoughts on Dollhouse. Not a fan. Didn't like it but I don't hate it.
The BTTF game is basically a story that Telltale made themselves, it's not based on anything that existed beforehand (though Bob Gale contributed to some degree).
Go on, I'm all for a Firefly game!
